What is the correct method for jump-starting a car battery?
1 Answers
Correct method for jump-starting a car battery is as follows: 1. Prepare two jumper cables. The rescue vehicle and the rescued vehicle should be parked head to head, with the rescue vehicle's engine running. 2. Locate the batteries of both vehicles. Identify the positive and negative terminals of the batteries clearly, ensuring not to connect them incorrectly. 3. First, connect one end of the red positive jumper cable to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the rescued vehicle's battery. Follow the same procedure with the black negative cable. 4. After connecting the jumper cables, start the rescued vehicle normally. Do not connect one vehicle and then proceed to connect another. Remember not to let the positive and negative terminals touch each other, as this may cause a short circuit. 5. Once the vehicle starts, remove the jumper cables one by one. Finally, let the rescued vehicle run for at least half an hour to recharge the battery.
