What is the method for jump-starting a car?
1 Answers
The method for jump-starting a car is as follows: 1. Prepare two battery cables. The rescue vehicle and the vehicle to be rescued should be parked head-to-head, with the rescue vehicle's engine kept running. 2. Locate the batteries of both vehicles and identify the positive and negative terminals of the batteries. Be careful not to reverse the positive and negative connections. 3. First, connect one end of the red positive battery cable to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, and then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the vehicle to be rescued. 4. Similarly, connect one end of the black negative battery cable to the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, and then connect the other end to the negative terminal of the vehicle to be rescued. 5. Note: When connecting the cables, connect one cable at a time rather than connecting one vehicle first and then the other. Make sure the positive and negative terminals do not touch each other, as this could cause a short circuit. 6. Once the battery cables are properly connected, start the vehicle to be rescued normally. 7. After the vehicle starts, remove the battery cables one by one. Finally, let the rescued vehicle run for at least half an hour to recharge the battery. Lastly, we remind all car owners that battery depletion is mostly caused by prolonged use of onboard electrical devices after turning off the engine, though there may be other factors as well. To avoid this situation from recurring, identify the cause of the battery depletion and take preventive measures.
