What to Do When a Car Battery Dies?

[BeauDella]

Here are some methods to deal with a dead car battery: 1. Push-start Method: This is the most familiar and effective emergency method, but it's best used only as a last resort because it can cause some damage to the car's engine and clutch. 2. Jump-start Method: This method can be used for both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. First, open the hoods of both cars. 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 car's battery. 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 car's battery. Then, start the assisting car and rev the engine slightly while the stalled car attempts to start. 3. Towing-start Method: This method works on the same principle as the first one, except instead of pushing from behind, the car is pulled from the front. Of course, this method is much less strenuous than the first. First, you'll need a sturdy tow rope to securely tie the front and rear of both cars together.
