How to Self-Rescue When an Automatic Car Battery Dies

[DelBella]

Solutions for an automatic car with a dead battery are as follows: 1. If you are on a highway or in a place without assistance or tools, the only option is to call the emergency assistance center. They can dispatch an emergency charging vehicle for on-the-spot charging or arrange a tow truck to take your car to a nearby repair shop for charging. 2. If the battery dies in a residential area like your home and no spare battery is available, as long as you can find a charger, you can charge the car battery yourself. Depending on the situation, you can also remove the car battery and take it indoors for quick charging. Generally, using the quick charge mode for about ten minutes should provide enough power to start the car. Be careful when removing the battery to avoid damaging any wiring terminals. 3. If you have jumper cables in your car, you can seek help from passing vehicles or friends and relatives. Find a functioning car to assist. Connect the positive terminal of the assisting car's battery to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then connect the negative terminals of both batteries. After that, attempt to start the car with the dead battery. Once the car starts, disconnect the negative cable first, followed by the positive cable.
