How to Start a Geely Boyue When the Battery is Dead?
2 Answers
When the battery of a Geely Boyue is dead, you can start it by using jumper cables, push-starting, using an emergency power source, or calling for roadside assistance. Using Jumper Cables: First, open the hoods of both vehicles. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the two batteries using the jumper cables. Then, start the functioning vehicle and rev the engine slightly. Next, attempt to start the car with the dead battery. Push-Starting (or Towing Start): Push-starting is suitable when there is enough manpower and the vehicle is a manual transmission. Before push-starting, turn on the ignition. Once the vehicle reaches a certain speed, engage the gear and release the clutch pedal while pressing the accelerator. Once the engine starts, quickly depress the clutch to prevent stalling. Using an Emergency Power Source: If you have an emergency power source in the vehicle, a dead battery is easy to resolve. A car emergency power source works similarly to a power bank, providing temporary power when the battery is depleted. The operation is straightforward—simply connect the emergency power source's clamps to the battery. Calling for Roadside Assistance: If none of the above methods are feasible, the driver can call for roadside assistance. Most insurance companies currently offer this service.
I'm the kind of person who likes to solve problems hands-on. When my Geely Boyue's battery died, my first thought was to jump-start it. Find a friend's car or a portable jump starter, connect positive to positive and negative to negative—never reverse the connections, or you might fry the circuitry. After starting, let the engine run for about ten minutes to charge the battery. If you don't have the tools, a manual transmission can be push-started, but since most Geely Boyues are automatic, this method won't work. I recommend regularly checking the battery voltage with a multimeter; if it drops below 12 volts, be cautious. In winter, batteries are prone to draining, so turn off all electronics like headlights or AC when parked. Prevention is better than cure—keep a smart charger in the trunk for emergencies. That way, you won't be caught off guard next time.
