Whether you left your lights on overnight or a friend’s battery died, you may need to jump start a battery. Here is how to do it.

1. Whether you left your lights on overnight or a friend’s battery died,
you may need to jump start a battery. Here is how to do it.
Jump-starting a car involves using a car with a fully charged battery
to start a car with a dead battery. Make sure to drive the car that was
jump-started for several minutes after jump-starting it or the
alternator will not charge the battery back to full capacity.
If the dead battery is leaking, damaged, or heavily corroded, jump-
starting the battery could be dangerous and you should call a
professional. Avoid touching the posts of the battery directly.

2. To jump-start a battery you will need a car with a charged battery and a set
of jumper cables. To begin, park the car with the good battery close to the
car with the dead battery. The engines should be close enough that the
jumper cables can reach each battery without being tight. Put each car in
neutral or park and remove the key from both ignitions.
Open the hoods and locate the batteries, making sure to notice which
terminal on each battery is negative and positive. The cables and batteries
will have a ‘plus’ sign and red coloring for the positive sides. Alternatively,
the negative battery terminal and cable will be black and have a ‘minus’
sign. Connect the positive clamp of the battery cable to the positive
terminal of the dead battery. Next, connect the other positive clamp the
positive terminal of the working battery. After that, connect the first
negative clamp to the negative terminal of the working battery. Finally,
connect the second negative clamp to a metal surface of the dead car’s
engine that is not painted or oily. You may see a small spark when you
connect the last clamp.

3. Once the four clamps are connected, start the engine of the car with
the good battery. Let it idle for a few minutes and rev the engine
several times. This process charges the dead battery a little bit. With
the engine still on try to start the engine of the car with the dead
battery. The car should start up, but if it does not, turn off both cars
and remove the last clamp you connected. Adjust or wiggle the three
other clamps on the battery terminals, then reconnect the fourth
clamp. Repeat the process of starting and idling the good car, then
starting the dead car. Once the car starts, remove the cables in the
reverse order that you installed them. The car is now ready to drive.
