I recently had the frustrating experience of a dead car battery when I went out shopping and found my car wouldn't start. I borrowed jumper cables from a friend - remember to park both cars nose-to-nose, pop the hoods, connect the red clamp to both positive terminals first, then attach the black clamp to the donor car's negative terminal and your car's metal frame. After securing the connections, have your friend start their engine and rev it slightly for a few minutes before attempting to start yours. If no help is available, most insurance companies offer free roadside assistance - professional help usually arrives within 30 minutes. In emergencies, some auto parts stores provide quick charging services, but it's best to get a battery health check afterward. For prevention, I regularly inspect battery terminals for green corrosion and always turn off headlights and audio when the engine's off.
