How to Start a Geely Boyue When the Battery is Dead?

[BrielleDella]

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.

I remember once when I was driving a Geely Boyue for an outing, the battery suddenly died, which was really frustrating. I quickly called for roadside assistance using my phone, and they arrived with jumper cables to help me start the car. Since then, I've learned to carry a portable jump starter—compact and convenient, just connect it to the battery terminals and it gets the job done. For manual transmission cars, you can ask a few people to push the car, put it in second gear, and release the clutch, but never try this with an automatic. For prevention, I check the battery terminals monthly for looseness and clean off any corrosion. If parking for a long time, disconnect the negative terminal or use a battery charger. Battery life is typically 3-5 years; replace it if it's aging. Safety first—don’t turn off the engine immediately after starting; drive around to recharge the battery.

As a family user, I believe the safest method when the Geely Boyue's battery is dead is to seek professional help, such as calling the 4S store or requesting a tow truck. For self-handling, using jumper cables is simpler—ensure all vehicles are turned off, connect red to red and black to black. Automatic transmission vehicles cannot be push-started to avoid damaging the transmission. I make it a habit to turn off the headlights and radio before parking to reduce power consumption. Battery depletion often occurs due to forgetting to turn off electrical devices; setting a phone reminder can help. For prevention, have the technician check the battery condition during regular maintenance.
