Solutions for a car that cannot start due to a dead battery include jump-starting, seeking assistance from an auto repair shop or insurance company, push-starting (for manual transmission vehicles), or towing. A dead battery is often caused by forgetting to turn off electrical devices in the car the previous day, leading to excessive battery drain, or other circumstances. Jump-starting involves removing the clips of the battery box to open the battery cover, exposing the positive and negative terminals. Take one jumper cable and connect one end to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of a charged battery. Take another jumper cable, first connect it to the negative terminal of the charged battery, and then connect the other end to the negative terminal of the dead vehicle. If the battery is within its normal lifespan, after a successful jump-start, driving continuously for more than half an hour should restore normal usage. Alternatively, using a car emergency jump starter is similar to using a power bank. Attach the corresponding positive and negative clamps to the battery terminals, turn on the power switch to keep it on, and then start the rescued vehicle. Seeking assistance from an auto repair shop or insurance company is another option. If there is no other vehicle available for jump-starting, you can contact an auto repair shop, which usually has specialized batteries for rescue, but they charge based on distance. If the insurance company offers free roadside assistance, you can ask them for help. Push-starting (only for manual transmission vehicles) involves gathering several people to push the car to a certain speed, then engaging the gear and quickly releasing the clutch pedal while stepping on the accelerator. Once the engine starts, quickly press the clutch pedal again to prevent stalling, control the throttle, and slowly pull over to the side. Towing is the last resort. Find a sturdy tow rope and securely fasten it between the two vehicles. Start slowly, ensuring both vehicles maintain the same speed, and pay attention to road safety. If another vehicle approaches from behind, notify the leading vehicle promptly and slowly pull over to the roadside.
