What to Do When a Sedan Won't Start Due to a Dead Battery?
1 Answers
The solution to a sedan not starting due to a dead battery is to use jumper cables to connect to another car with a working battery, which can charge the dead battery enough to start the car. The method of jump-starting is relatively simple: connect the positive terminal of the working battery to the positive terminal of the dead battery, and connect the negative terminal of the working battery to a metal part of the dead car's engine. After the connections are made, the car with the working battery should start its engine, and the car with the dead battery should wait for about 2 minutes before attempting to start its engine. Typically, it takes about 10 minutes to charge the dead battery sufficiently for the car to start normally. During daily car use, it's important to remember to turn off the headlights after parking and to ensure all electrical appliances in the car are switched off.
