Solutions for a dead car battery include the jumper cable method, push-start method, and external towing start. The car battery is a crucial component for vehicle ignition, and its charge level should be regularly checked. Solutions for a dead car battery: Jumper cable method: First, open the hoods of both vehicles. Connect the negative terminal of the jumper cable to the negative terminal of the dead battery, and the other end to the negative terminal of the assisting vehicle. Similarly, connect the positive terminal of the jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, and the other end to the positive terminal of the assisting vehicle. Then, start the assisting vehicle and rev the engine slightly. Next, attempt to start the dead vehicle. If the issue is indeed a dead battery, the vehicle should start quickly. After starting, keep the engine running for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the alternator to recharge the battery. Once started, first disconnect the positive terminal from the assisting vehicle, then remove the cable from your vehicle. Similarly, disconnect the negative terminal from the assisting vehicle before removing it from your own. Push-start method: This method requires two people. Before pushing the vehicle, assess the road conditions. A downhill slope makes the process easier, while a flat road is also manageable. If on an uphill slope, turn the vehicle around to push it downhill, but always prioritize safety. First, turn the ignition key to the "on" position, press the clutch pedal, release the handbrake, and put the gear in 1st or 2nd. Keep the clutch pedal pressed and begin pushing the vehicle. When the speed reaches about 5 km/h, slowly release the clutch while pressing the accelerator, and the engine should start. External towing start: Use a tow rope to connect the vehicles, then have another car tow your vehicle to start it.
