Is 16 Gauge Battery Jumper Cable Enough?
1 Answers
For small cars, a 16 gauge battery jumper cable is just sufficient. How to use jumper cables: Turn off the running vehicle, open the hood, attach the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery, and the other end to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Attach the black negative cable to the negative terminal of the battery, and the other end to the negative terminal of the dead battery. Start the running vehicle, then start the dead vehicle. Once started, quickly remove the jumper cables from the battery. Precautions when using jumper cables: The order must not be mistaken: positive to positive, negative to negative. It can also be understood as red to positive, black to negative. A 12V vehicle cannot jump-start a 24V vehicle, and a 24V vehicle cannot jump-start a 12V vehicle.
