What to Do When the Car Doesn't Shut Off After a Jump Start?
1 Answers
Generally, this situation occurs because the car's starting current hasn't been fully charged, requiring additional jump-start time. Here's relevant information: 1. Typically, a jump start of 10 to 20 minutes is needed to charge the car battery sufficiently for starting, after which the battery can recharge itself while running. When a car battery is dead and can't provide starting current to the engine, connecting it to another vehicle's battery for a jump start is the solution. 2. A jump start, also known as a boost or jump, involves connecting another vehicle's battery or an external power source to a car with a depleted starting battery to start the vehicle. Once the vehicle starts, its normal charging system can recharge the battery, allowing the auxiliary power source to be removed. As long as the vehicle's charging system is functioning properly, a normally running vehicle will restore the battery's charge.
