How to Use Jumpstarters: A Practical Guide
Don't know how to start your car with a dead battery? Don't worry, you're in the right place!
Jump starters, also known as portable vehicle starters, are an extremely useful tool in emergency situations. Thanks to them, you can quickly and easily start a car whose battery is discharged. Here's a quick step-by-step guide on how to use a jumpstarter.
Step by step instructions
1. Preparing the Jumpstarter:
Make sure the jump starter is charged. Most models have a battery indicator that shows the charge level. Turn off the ignition and all electrical devices in the vehicle such as radio, air conditioning, etc.
2. Connecting the Terminals
Attach the black clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal or to the ground of the vehicle. Attach the red clamp to the positive (+) battery post, which is any unpainted metal part of the car away from the battery. Make sure the clamps are secure and not touching yourself.
3. Starting Jumpstarter:
Turn on the jumpstarter by pressing the appropriate button. Wait a few moments for the device to transfer enough power to the battery. Make sure all connections are stable and secure. Watch the indicators on the jumpstarter, which may indicate charging progress or possible problems.
4. Starting the Engine:
Turn the key in the ignition or press the start button in your car. The vehicle should start. If not, wait a few minutes and try again. After starting the engine, leave it running for a few minutes to allow the battery to recharge slightly.
5. Disconnecting the Terminals:
Turn off the jumpstarter to complete the process. First disconnect the red clamp and then the black clamp, making sure they do not touch any metal parts of the vehicle.
6. Continuation of the Journey:
Now you can continue your journey. If your battery is repeatedly discharged, it's worth having it checked by a mechanic as it may need to be replaced or your vehicle may need repairs.
To sum up
Using a jump starter is a simple and quick solution that can save you in emergency situations on the road. Remember to always have a charged device in your car and follow the steps above to start your vehicle safely.
