Jumpstarting
Jumpstarting a vehicle is a process of using a charged battery from another vehicle or external power source to start a car with a dead or weak battery. It is a temporary solution to get the car started and allow it to be driven to a repair shop or other destination. Here are the steps involved in jumpstarting a vehicle: Identify a donor vehicle: Look for a vehicle with a charged battery that can be used to jumpstart the dead or weak battery. Position the vehicles: The two vehicles should be parked close enough to allow the jumper cables to reach between them, but not touching. Turn off the ignition and remove the keys from both vehicles. Connect the jumper cables: Attach one end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the charged battery. Then, attach one end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the negative (-) terminal of the charged battery and the other end to an unpainted metal surface on the engine block or frame of the vehicle with the dead battery. Start the donor vehicle: Start the donor vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes to charge the dead battery. Here are four common reasons why jumpstarting may be needed for a vehicle:
- Dead battery
- Lights left on: Leaving the headlights, interior lights, or other electrical components on when the vehicle is not running can drain the battery, causing it to lose its charge.
- Cold weather
- Alternator issues
