The Right Way To Jump Start A Dead Car Battery

The Right Way To Jump Start A Dead Car Battery

Jump Starter

Much has been said and written about car batteries and how to jump start a car
that has a dead one. The thing is, a lot of this info is either incomplete or wrong.

Sooner or later you will find your self in a car with a dead battery. So please read on.

Here I will give you the right and up to dated way to jump-start a car safely. Of course this is if you are stranded away from home. When you are at home the best thing to do is use a charger, not a booster or cables.
First of all I don't recommend jumping cables to the motorist, second the best options are to use a booster or just call (an expert mobile service) or take the vehicle to an expert shop. If the battery is older than 3 years or so, it could be bad.
If you must use jumper cables then here I will show the right way to do it.
Read the whole article since the info is all over the same.

First some information about batteries.

I repair many vehicles with bad batteries. The reasons the battery went bad can be many, so after jumping a vehicle you should seek professional help. Here I will tell you what can make a battery go bad, what to do to prevent it and things to do in an emergency situation.

Why a battery goes bad:

o Bad alternator.

o Bad or loose serpentine belt or off or missing serpentine belt due to another bad component.
o Excessive heat or cold.

o Age.

o Defective Part from factory. (Rare).

o Leaving the car sitting too long or driving the car in short trips not

allowing the battery to recharge.

o Too much drain, like the battery is too small for the demand. Or maybe

there are add-ons like monster stereo systems etc.

o Parasitic drain. Or just leaving the lights or something on.

o Dirty connector/terminals.

o Vibration. When there's no hold down.

o Using the wrong fluid to replenish it, like tap water instead of distilled water.

o Bad computer. The voltage regulator is there in some cars.

o Physical damage. Car accident, being dropped.

Taking care of your battery.

The best way to prevent battery failures is by doing regular maintenance on the vehicle. When regular maintenance is done the battery should be one of
the main items checked. They should clean terminals, top off the fluid if possible using only distilled water, do some tests on it, and of course test the charging system etc.
Even the best batteries will meet their maker sooner or later. They can "die¬hard" or die soft but they all die. The average life of most batteries is about 3 years, believe it or not. Some top of the line batteries can last a bit longer. I have noticed a decline on the life of batteries lately. So if your battery is about that age, have it checked or just change it to have peace of mind specially if you're making a long trip.

What to do if your battery is dead.

In an emergency when a battery is dead, the first thing that comes to mind usually is to "jump" the car. Well I don't recommend this. First of all this is a potentially dangerous action. (Doing this can cause an explosion and injure you or actually kill you (pieces of plastic going off at very high speed can cut your throat), blind you, or deafen you). The best thing will be to call someone to come and check the car or take it to a shop (there's a chance the alternator could be bad, so replacing or boosting the battery may not solve your problem). If you happen to have cables in your car then you have to find another car to boost you. This is dangerous too, because in doing so you can damage very expensive parts in both your and the assistant vehicle. There's a change of connecting the cables wrong if you're not familiar with the process, if this happens you can disable any of the two cars involved for good and incur in more expensive repairs. The best way to do this if you choose to boost the car is with a portable booster. Some have a switch that will prevent you from causing sparks. Also some models have a device that will polarize the system automatically. So it will be impossible to connect it the wrong way. Some can be connected right at the lighter port, but this takes more time because you have to let the booster charge the bad battery for a while, if you try to start the car right away you could blow the inline fuse or burn the cable.

Also after you get your car running, if you disconnect the assistant car and leave the car running to recharge your low battery this will cause serious damage to the alternator. The alternator is not designed to charge batteries that are too low or at zero volts but to keep them charged. The right way to do this is when using a portable booster to leave it connected to the car so the alternator will charge both slowly and not stress it self. The alternator has the ability to sense the battery state of charge and also the system voltage demand. It will charge accordingly. If the battery is very low it will charge continuously, hence straining it self and overheating. After 30 minutes or so you can then disconnect the booster and keep driving the car for some more time to charge the battery fully. Better yet just drive the car to the nearest service place or call a mobile service when you get home. If you're driving at night or your vehicle has day driving lights this will take a little longer. Of course after having any problem with a low battery and getting the car running, the intelligent thing to do is get your favorite tech to check you system completely to have peace of mind.

Another thing that you need to know is this, sometimes you have a battery installed and it fails soon after (one or two days) why? Well there are different reasons, the battery could be defective (very rare), or there's an intermittent problem with the charging system or a device that is putting a small drain after you turn the car off. New cars have many computers and they use a small amount of energy after the car is turned off, but it is a very small amount and it should not drain the battery in less than 3 months approximately. If it does is because one of the computers could be staying awake too long or has an intermittent short. If this happens to you, don't get upset thinking they sold you a bad battery, or that the mechanic is incompetent. The carr has to be diagnosed again to see what happened.

The right way to jump-start a car.

This is the way I recommend to perform a battery jump with cables. This takes a little longer than what most publications recommend, but is the safe way to do it. I am a professional mechanic with 28 years of experience.

Before you even think about getting your jumping cables out you should:

 First of all it will not hurt to read your owners manual, there you can find lots of info pertaining the procedure. Like where the battery is "hidden" etc.

 Make sure both cars are close enough for cables to reach with out cars touching.

 Inspect the battery for signs of damage. A broken battery case is not a good sign. Do not jump if case is cracked or you see fluid leaking.

 Set the emergency brake on both cars and turn off both ignitions and any other accessories other than the flasher as mentioned.

 Keep at least one of the vehicles flashers on and any other safety device like flares etc displayed.

 Battery terminals should be free of dirt and or corrosion. Use at least water and a wire brush to clean them.

 Make sure both cars are of the same voltage and polarity. Some cars are grounded at the positive instead of the negative although rare. Most cars in the road have 12 volts batteries. With the advent of hybrid vehicles I will strongly recommend you just calling an expert. Hybrid cars have very high voltage batteries. 12 volts batteries won't harm you even if you touch both terminals but hybrid use much higher voltage. Also avoid connecting the cables backwards; very bad things can happen if you do.

 Wear at least eye protection that includes a face protector. Gloves will be nice too. Do not allow battery fluid to touch you, your clothes or the paint job.

 In very cold weather make sure the electrolyte is not frozen. (Use a flashlight etc to inspect, not a lighter).

 Be very careful not to touch any moving part of the engine like belts, fans, etc while performing the procedure either with the cables or your clothes or jewelry etc.

 Now the cable part, (see illustration at the end of article) before you connect any of the terminals make sure they are not touching each other to avoid any sparks. Batteries give off very explosive gasses that can kill you if they ignite. Also if the cables get hot be aware that they could be too thin or the engine could be dragging for some reason. The starter could also be bad (grounding it self). Also may be you have cranked the car too long. Check to make sure the clamps are attached properly. Let tem cool off a bit.

 If anything like dome lights come on after the cables are connected, the cables are connected correctly.

 The first terminal to be connected as recommended is the positive one in the donor's car then at the disabled car (both at the battery if possible).

 Then you connect the negative cable at the battery terminal of the donor's car and make sure you can access the engine at the disabled car to connect the cable there.

 When the cars finally starts, keep at least the headlamps on to aid in keeping any voltage spikes from damaging the delicate circuits in the many modules on today's cars.

 (+) Is the positive terminal (usually red). (-) Is the negative terminal (usually black). This cable goes to the car chassis and the engine block from the battery.

 Disconnecting sequence is the reversal of the connecting sequence

 Smoking is not recommended any time you are working near cars.

More about this.

Never hook up batteries in a series circuit way, you will get twice the voltage and blow many things including computers.
This will certainly damage your electrical system to say the least.

Some cars with antitheft systems will activate it whenever the battery is low or disconnected. Again read the owners manual for info on this and how to reset them.
Every manufacturer use different systems.

When jumping a car you have to first charge the battery with the "donor" car for at least 5 minutes or more if possible, then try, with the cables disconnected to start the car. If the car doesn't crank or cranks slowly then recharge some more with donor car, then with cables connected try to crank the disabled car.

When selecting a set of jumper cables make sure you get a good quality set. The thicker the cable the better. Saving money here will prove a very bad choice. Cheap cables can overheat and in many cases burn or just don't work when you use them (cheap construction around the clamps). Also don't get the shortest or the longest. The middle will be best.

Never crank a vehicle more than the recommended lapse in the owner's manual (usually no more than 10 seconds) to avoid damaging the starter. If the car cranks for very long periods with out starting then you could have more serious problems than just electrical ones. Always wait some time before trying again to avoid damaging your starter or damaging the donor's battery.

If when you connect the last cable at the disabled car you see a lot of sparks make sure there isn't anything on, or the cables are connected properly (polarity), otherwise some sparks are normal since the disabled car's battery is probably very low or just dead.

There are some top-of the line cables that feature a foolproof device against connecting them wrong.

Every time the battery goes too low it gets weak. Different from deep cycle batteries on boats or RV's, car batteries are not designed for this and will after a few discharges just quit altogether

Batteries used to be better known as "accumulators" and you can guess why don't you? Yes they store electricity and the alternator's job is to keep it charged not to charge it from 0 volt, that is the job of a charger.

A battery won't get damaged if kept in the concrete floor instead of on top of a piece of wood. The way batteries are constructed today prevents this.

You don't need to go and spend big bucks for a battery at the dealer, not to mention towing costs. Any battery that meets the specification of your vehicle will do well if maintained properly. The trick here is to get the right battery, meaning the right capacity. Never use one that has less than what is required. A little bigger is better.

Some batteries have a little window that has a green or black indicator to tell you if the battery is good. Well this indicator is not very accurate for this, since it only measures the state of charge of only one of the battery's 6 cells. Another cell could be bad and you could get a "green" indicator even tough the battery has only about 10 volts, which is not enough to properly start a car. Some of the devices on your car might still work tough. The car will crank very slowly.

If by any chance acid gets in your eyes, do all you can to get it out pronto. The more it stays there the bigger the chance for cornea damage.

If you suspect a bad connection on the jumper cables, do not wiggle the connector while connected. Disconnect one on the disabled car first then wiggle the suspect ones then reconnect the rest. Remember you want to avoid making sparks.
After using the jumper cables wash them with water if possible and store them in the bag they came in. This will avoid damage to your trunk from the acid that gets stuck to the terminals.
Always work on a well-ventilated area.

The alternator. The heart of the system.

If your alternator is bad, it was the cause of the dead battery in the first place; so jumping the battery won't get you too far. As a matter of fact you probably won't be able to drive even a mile more. You could end up at a neighborhood where you don't know anyone that will be too wiling to help you.

If the battery or alternator or charging light was on before the battery died, then it is still on after you jump the car then the charging system could have a problem. It will be a good idea to contact a professional.
An alternator could be malfunctioning even if you don't see a red light in your dash telling you so.

If you are knowledgeable and want to test your charging system with a voltmeter, consider this, some carmakers have systems that will not charge when the battery is found to be full. This is done to prevent overcharging and also to increase miles per gallon (The drag on the engine is less) This also helps the durability of the alternator.

Alternators are not designed to "charge" batteries (specially newer cars, they are usually weak in this area). Their job is to keep a fully charged battery that way.
When a battery goes down for any reason, the alternator has to work overtime to bring it back to normal. The use of day driving lights is one of the reasons many alternators fail prematurely, the alternator works harder than in a regular system. But they do offer a good safety measure. Also accessories not installed at the factory like monster stereos will also put an extreme demand on a stock system not designed for such loads. There are some high amp alternators available for these cases. Also the use of multiple batteries helps. Consult an expert in this field for assistance.

Never disconnect a running car battery terminal to "test" the charging system. This was done long ago before cars started using computers. But today doing this can and will damage very expensive components. Also it can create sparks that could cause an explosion. Believe me, many people still use this method to test the alternator, yes even people that "think" they know, like some airplane mechanics.

Starting a car with the cables connected and letting it run could damage systems in either car. Things like computers etc. I have fixed many vehicles with bad alternators and computers due to this. That is why I recommend charging the bad battery by letting the good car charge the bad one for at least 10 minutes. Then you can disconnect the cables and start the car with out damaging anything. There's a theory that running two cars with the cables connected can damage the alternators. I will up date this article with some facts about this.

Push starting; it may not get you too far either.

Another way to get a car running is by push starting it. This is not recommended either. First, damage to the drive train is possible, (Expensive) especially if done often. Second, as I mentioned before, if the car doesn't run because the battery is dead, the alternator will work too hard to charge the battery when you get it started. If the problem is the alternator, the car won't run too far at all because the battery is not getting any charge so it will be depleted very soon. Push start should be done only in extreme emergency situations. As I said, be intelligent and call an expert.

I hope the information here was of help to you. As always no one is perfect. If you think there's a mistake or want to add something to this article, by all means contact me directly.

Considering the low cost of replacing the battery with a new one and after reading this information I am pretty sure you will decide not to risk performing a jump instead of replacing the battery. Unless of course, you are a professional and/or already know what I wrote here.

Today's cars are very complex machines; it is better to leave things to the experts when it comes to dealing with them. You will actually save more money (or even your own life) that way by avoiding costly mistakes.

The Non-Mechanic's Guide to jump-start a car battery

The Non-Mechanic's Guide to jump-start a car battery

Jump Starter

Car batteries can lose their ability to crank an engine for several reasons. If they do, a quick start jumping to reload. The key is to follow a methodical approach to ensure your personal safety, avoid electrical problems.

You've probably heard that a car battery can explode. It is true, what is the reason why you should wear safety glasses when changing, cleaning, or help start one. The danger comes from hydrogen gascontained within the device. It can be triggered by an errant spark. This means that the risk is low, the batteries that explode are extremely rare.

In this article you will learn step-by-step how to properly jump start to discover the battery of your car.

Preparatory stages

A start-up requires two vehicles, and their jumpers - or booster - the vehicle. Park the vehicle battery booster as close as possible to its own, without touching the car. Then turn the engineoff (just like the radio and other devices) and set the parking brake on both cars.

Take a look at your jumper cables. You will be connected to a red terminal and the other will be connected to a black terminal. Ideally, the cables are heavy and metal brackets should be totally free of corrosion.

Check out the posts of both batteries. Will be positive and the other is negative. The positive contribution should be a plus sign and the negative ("+")must be marked with a minus sign ("-").

Making Connections

First close one of the red to the positive terminal on the battery empty. Make sure the connection is secure. Then connect the other terminal of the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the booster car battery.

Connect a jumper cable, the two terminals blacks for the negative contribution of the car at the moment. Then connect the last remaining hook to the body of the vehicle or of a metal bottom somewhereon the engine.

The text of the charge

Jumper start the vehicle and had two or three minutes at idle. Then start your car and let it idle. If the engine refuses to turn around, turn it off. There are probably other issues to be resolved. If you are persistent and keep trying to turn the engine, it can damage the starter.

Suppose you are able to start your vehicle, pull the ends of the cables in the same orderblindfolded them. Then either connect the battery charger or car about 20 minutes before starting the engine.

Batteries lose their charge and have occasionally launched directly. It is a simple procedure, but must be done according to guidelines on, to ensure the safety and your vehicle.

To jump start your car or truck with Start Battery Booster Cables

To jump start your car or truck with Start Battery Booster Cables

Jump Starter

With winter and the batteries do not have a starter car or truck is a good time to relearn how anyone how to start your car with booster cables. True, you can wait for your local car championship, if you have a subscription to order with the club car, roadside assistance or you can, with your new car from the dealer, but no doubt can be expected in the coldest winter came, in Waiting, waiting waiting for the truck driver or ee increased towing hook waiting cars. Thebe able to start your car quickly and safely, without damage to the electrical system - can only be a good skill to have, maybe. It is a good time as any to do it well.

Things first hand. Make sure the two vehicles does not affect any of their bumpers. It 'true that most cars are now covered in plastic bumpers and plastic, you can never be safe or prudent. Next, make it a point to always have fixed the two ends - red and black ends of the bridgeCable set aside and not touch. Otherwise, electric shock or cause short circuits.

Now that makes sure that vehicles do not affect in any way, and touch the two ends of each cable jumpers as well and safely in hand, lift the hood. Locate the battery. It is usually in front of the engine compartment, forward of the engine and the front left or right.

Locate the battery terminals - usually at the top or in the worst case overBattery side or on the side of the battery - usually at the edge of the rear battery to the left and right.

The larger of the two doors is almost always the positive battery terminal (marked with a plus sign, the "positive" (+ is) characters). This is what gives you space the red wire jumper jaw. The other is the bad power cord. It is usually black in color and marked on the terminal or plastic insulated cable jackets. The positive terminal, aPiece of plastic electrical insulator as a cover on it. You may need to detach from the cold. Plastic cold winter in 40 below weather can be very rigid, but flexible in the summer heat. Pay attention to the maximum. If you are a metal screwdriver to the positive terminal cover and complete a circuit with a screwdriver to the metal object on the ground as the use of car, you can get a nice spark and a good shake to boot.

When it comes to discussions on the promotion of cars, there is no end to theDiscussion when the cars running or not. It 'a matter of taste. The most important thing is that the final connection to the black (ground) should be the empty car battery, no battery charge. This connection can be secured to a metal part, or to be made, the - terminal of the battery (). If you can combine live drums, lead, especially at the terminal of the battery, a spark that allows the hydrogen sulphide gas to stop and light loadsReload. A loud explosion of the battery with sulfuric acid in the face can lead to risk injury and even blindness.

So the important steps to increase the pace, when a dead battery jumper cables Make sure battery recall, first, not touching the bumper cars or 2) Make sure that the cars are in the park 3) pull the cable out ports correctly. Finally, the last link goes dead car battery terminals to chassis or neverthe vehicle with the good battery charge. Have a safe and enjoyable winter driving season this year.

How to deal with a dead car battery

The battery is one of the most important parts of your car. Even if you have a big, powerful vehicles, or one that offers top performance in mind, it is not anywhere without an active battery. Unfortunately, leave the lights on, or electronic devices too much for a car that has not moved for a while 'may cause dependence in a dead battery. You may not realize it immediately, either. One day, put the key in the ignition, and all you get is aTick ​​drag or noise, or just light up. Perhaps you have a battery.

Of course there are some other things that may not be correct, it could also. There are other parts of the vehicle, that the problems might be. A bad alternator can cause the battery to go dead, but is not the fault of the battery, or the problem could be the starter, and not a dead car battery at all. You need to know before buying a new battery, otherwise it would be a waste of moneyand time. When the car was only allowed to run down, you may even be able to upload to help launch the vehicle and the vehicle's battery. Some newer vehicles such as hybrids can not be skipped, so you should know your car.

Jump Starter

On each machine, the battery should be checked regularly to ensure that it works well. Cable must be connected properly and the battery terminals should be clean. If you do not jump start the car are on the road, you have to have it towedto a gas station, so try it all before. Do not just assume that the battery is empty and you need a new one. There are similar chargers and car accessories that plug into an outlet. This is possible to correct the batteries dead, or you could try jumper cables. So make sure you follow some basic precautions before you do something with the battery.

If you want to work under the hood, make sure that there will be more secure, preventing themfall unexpectedly. A hood fall probably will not hurt, but it can hurt! Remember to check manually to find the right way to deal with the battery, especially if you want to install the new.

Be very careful when you start your car cold, like a dead battery can freeze if the temperature is less than ten or fifteen degrees. Skip the car at this temperature could cause an explosion! If you have to jump in this type of weather, so the car is that itsbe used to jump is running for a few minutes, with the cables connected to the heat of the battery. If it is very cold, you should be a meter or more are waiting in the car and up to half an hour. Do not be tempted to run this - if you are, you will find a warm place to stay while you are waiting to start the car.

No matter what time you jump in, be sure not to make the final connection to the battery. This is because the batteries can ignite sparks of gas and this canGas. Take the last connection to a metal surface of the vehicle instead. Wear safety glasses if you can, and if not available, not for the battery when you connect - if an explosion occurs, it is to protect the face. Start with two cars at once, and if yours is slow, let the other car to free the car battery died a few minutes. If you burn your light lights, you should be able to start the car.

Capacity (capacity, resistance to heat and cold for the duration and performance, weight, relative job security) Internal charger to protect against overload. A warning that warns of the danger and reversed polarity protect the battery against overload or under load Multiple voltage output voltages. You can provide power 5 volts, 12 or 24, without need for adapters. Internal air compressors Inverters offer up to 120 volts (somehave up to three 120-volt outlets) Include working lights, emergency lights, or both

Ideally, the integrity of the vendor, guarantee / return policy, and support the decision to buy a jump start battery, then go to follow the electricity demand functions. Equally important are convenience, shipping charges and / or delays, if not in stock or purchase online. Another product as the most popular brand is often a great value (the brand is not all) are.

The biggest mistake for the purchase ofjump can be a starter since:

Not getting enough power to start the car battery in their current vehicle (most buyers would choose power less than the best) Do not buy a unit with features that include better use of the product (heavy duty 4 gauge cable, longer cable, heavy clamps, winding, compressor) Not immediately to check the internal battery capacity to provide confirmation of how much electricity all the time, and the charging timeFeatures.

Other types of batteries are perfectly preserved under different conditions. All batteries work best at moderate temperatures. If an average car battery is fully charged in the poorest performance and battery life is oftenResult. The electrolyte in a lead-acid battery charging can actually experience variations in the concentration of acid in the cells. This results in a greater likelihood of sulfation of the cells, causing less power and battery life. Be reduced or prevented by sulfation was normal charging a fully charged battery and the physical movement of the inner electrolyte. And 'common for a vehicle a short distance, during the periodAlternator can not fully charged the battery of the vehicle. The driver may not notice the problem when the battery is sufficiently charged after parked for some time to start the vehicle. The more power options, a vehicle that is more likely that the alternator is not charging the battery completely during the short trip driving.

How to start a car with a weak battery

Driving is a passion rather than fundamental to our everyday lives. When we board a vehicle, we would always like the driver's seat, as holder of the seat is a real joy in our lives. We dream of a life where our first request, the owner of a car would be. Car offers comfort, luxury and status in the eyes of the public.

We are approaching our car, press the button on the remote control, to occupy the driver's seat and proceed to our destination. We should not waitthe bus. We make ourselves a part of the crowd running to fill a seat on the local trains and subways. We feel the happiest of families with a prize possession, a car is.

Jump Starter

Notwithstanding the foregoing, sometimes become targets particular view of the public when our car breaks down or breaks in a cap and vehicle traffic on our back and honk at us. Sometimes we have difficulty in a country due to small errors in our cars or due to our bad experienceDriving.

We speak a common problem we face with our cars and how likely without the help of some expert engine mechanic Address:

Car will not start because of battery:

When our car battery with more than 18 months later is the ability to recharge and, in exchange for an adequate supply of self-starter to start the car, is reduced considerably. advice in such cases, the garage will replace the batteries with new ones. But whileother times we have the means to know the car.

We are facing a similar problem as we age, our car unused for a long time, and the battery is depleted to maintain alone.

1. Press Start:

There are two ways to start a car with a weak battery. The first is our secular system of 'Push Start'. The instructions provided by the car manufacturers with vehicles not recommend this way of booting the machine. But we have to resort to this mode when the vehicle stopsin a remote place where there is no way to move the vehicle and reach a safer place.

First, take appropriate measures to move the camera manually. Here are ways to shift the car manually "push" are. Put your car on a slope and let the car speed records enough to move into the second transition. The other way is to take someone to push the car from behind to achieve a desired speed.

Well, before the vehicle is necessary to fillDriver's seat and the following steps in the correct order:

Move the shift lever to '2 nd gear "and you press the clutch fully paddle and press the accelerator a bit ', insert the ignition key and turn to' switch-on" position, now you ask someone to push the car , as in the previous paragraph. expect to go by car to the desired speed. and leave the clutch until the engine starts. your car's engine starts.

Slide the clutch again and move the shift lever to"Idle". Now, either you run the engine at idle or even away from your goal.

2. Jump Start:

The recommended way to start a car by "Jump Start" system. You need a fully charged battery, or any other battery may be installed for use on a machine. Now you need a pair of two meters long, thick power cables strong enough to withstand load 30amp. Crocodile should be properly connected to the cable ends. Patentedready to 'Jump Start' cables are also available on the market and you should have a pair of wires in the car for crisis management.

The "Jump Start" process is simple. Connect the other cars in the area, your car, connect the red wire to the door to positive (+) battery characterized by both cars, the black wire negative door - marked both batteries (). In this way, you have a fully charged battery from another machine connected to your car. In other words,now with the battery of the car the other car.

Now occupy the driver's seat, the gear lever in neutral, push paddle clutch, insert the key into the slot and start your car, as usual. apply break to preserve the engine is running by hand, leave the car in "neutral" to be, leave the ignition key is in its cradle, open the glass window of the driver's door and come out of the car leaving the engine in "neutral."

Remove the cables and keep them in yourStrain. Turn the other car to its original place. Now you must drive to charge the battery. Go for a long journey for at least 5 to 10 km can be with low gears and essentially without on your network.

In this way the battery will be charged for normal use. In some types of batteries, you should check the acid level in the battery. When the level has fallen, you can pay a bit 'of distilled water, open locks with a coin.

In general,Battery life is specified between 18 - 24 months if the battery has exceeded its 18-month, then you have to watch on your battery charge and it would not be good enough power from the self-starter to start the car engine. Finally, replace the battery at the right time. There are good offers on the exchange market so that the old battery with a new one with a lower rate, first of all exchange emptied.

Forget to get jumper cables, get a portable battery jump instead of START PACK

When I was a student and I ride in an old clunker, I always carry a set of jumper cables in the car with me.

Jumper door if you do not know a pair of heavy insulated copper wire that I used to connect a car battery empty of other vehicles a good battery. The other good battery life, the length of wire between the two vehicles to travel with little 'luck, they will get a boost for the old battery in the engine and get the defaultAuto start.

Jump Starter

But sometimes, the jumper cables would not be able to have enough power to transfer the car with the battery. This could be because each of the four spring-loaded battery in contact with a poor battery, all fall due to supply voltage too long on the bridge.

These days, however, you can buy a good battery jump starter, which combines a small battery in a convenient plastic carrying case with two short jumpersdoor and two spring clips.

The length of the lines much shorter to ensure that the voltage drop to a minimum, and with two spring clips, spring clips instead of four half actually the possibility of a bad connection somewhere. So start using these portable battery is better than the old bridge leads had ever done. They are much more reliable.

You can jump start the battery in any car accessory shop or in the car section of every supermarket to buy supplies. These batteriesare usually a small Wal-wart type power supply, the battery in your home 110 (or 220) volt A / C power adapter, and a 12-volt DC charger, the pack is available free of charge from your car cigarette cigarettes delivered while the engine is running.

Maybe Santa could put in your stocking at Christmas!
