I’ve got to jump start my vehicle tomorrow without anyone’s help. Felt a bit insecure after watching other videos but not after yours. The explanations were clear and to the point. Great video!! 👏

Thanks this worked for my veercle

Thanks for explaining thoroughly and not wasting my time. Well done.

Great job off explaining the process in a step by step process & then explaining why you do so. Thank you

You may wanna add that some cars have a "jump post" for jumping a dead battery. My older model Mercedes Benz battery is covered in 20 minutes of plastic removal to get to the battery. There is a separate battery jumping post location so you don't have to bother removing all the fragile plastic. In other words, tell them to always refer to their owners manual when possible.

Very cool detailed information ℹ appreciate it. I have a 2013 Toyota Avalon limited and the battery is completely dead. I will use your advice to start it up 😎😁

Great job explaining

I like how you use the multimeter helping in identifying whether or not it's the alternator or the battery that is the issue...

Amazing video, very informative.

Very helpful,thank you!

This is very comprehensive and helpful for someone like myself how knows basically nothing. Unfortunately though, I have a larger 4wd with a flat battery and am trying to use a v6 sedan to jump it. Is that even doable?

As usual, the best! Thanks

Good explanation 👏👏

On my mums 95 Suzuki Swift HB 4cyl 5pd. I had a world pack battery installed in 2011 and lasted till 2021! She rarely drove it. Short drive to! I have the car now & have 6 yr warranty on BCAA battery!

All done and well described

Hi and thank you for providing an excellent video. One question I would ask is that you do not say if there is a need to top up your battery distilled water to the correct level to prevent the internal plates from buckling under stress?

Perfectly explained!

There was a new battery installed in the vehicle last night outside in the cold weather here in NY. We turned on the vehicle. Should there be a smell after the battery installation?

I understand everything here. Thanks be golden when such videos are posted. Potentially somebody can answer a question here though I've got a bus here with two batteries and I went to jump start it with a Ford Econoline van. The red positive to the red positive from the dead to the live. Then the ground from the live to the frame and try the negative battery terminal using heavy duty battery cables top-of-the-line with a light indicator box. Red light says connect wrong greenlight says jump okay . I connect the hot terminals and as soon as I connect the negative terminal; the jumper cables tell me wrong connect and red light. My question is why what is causing it to say wrong connect?

I learned something, thanks

Well done and well describe

I recently swapped an engine in my 2000 Honda Civic DX Hatch. Battery, alternator, starter are all brandnew but I noticed that my battery is slowly draining its juice, I suspect it could be a defective/faulty alternator or not enough ground might be the problem. I will have my alternator tested today if that may be the culprit.

Hi I l ove your channel Bro ,is High Info I have a quest I have a 2011 F250 gas truck my battery is dead I did jump with my Jeep xj 1999 I did the same about the dead battery my F250 I connect the Negative a metal part and red in red , connect Pos and Neg my jeep but won't start and I decide connect the Neg to Neg in my battery and start right away ,my quest is I did right or that is the way supposed for Ford F250 truck Thanks !!

@3:20 I was always taught the the red cable goes to the + dead battery and then the + to the good battery. Then - to good battery and - to dead battery.

Thank you! 👍

Liked the video, but by the state of that battery, I would recommend a new battery not a recharge especially with the extra draw on it.

One thing you should do in your videos is when you're doing this...use a terminal brush to clean the terminals. The more crap on them, them more resistance there is. No wonder they won't start and maintain a charge. Clean and seal your battery terminals regularly. And I'd highly recommend upgrading from OEM to Aftermarket Brass Connectors. They help against electric distortion.

hooking up a battery kill switch to my car to the negative how many amps should switch be

How far or how long is a "good drive" to recharge?

How long should I let the dead battery charge after the jump starting? Would 15 - 20 minutes of idling and a short drive do the job?

I HAVE AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM IN MY VAN, HOW CAN I JUMP START IT SO I COULD MOVE IT?

When checking battery voltage with meter, you should turn on the head lights and read voltage. This will put a load on the battery to get a true reading.

I left my car's cabin light on for like 2 days and the entire battery went down. When I went to get my car, nothing was working but the thing was that even the speedometer needle was erratically fluctuating. the battery was clicking. I disconnected it and reconnected it. I jump started the car but it turned off after like 10 minutes . again I jump started and again after 10 mins it shut down. I dont know what to do because the car was perfectly fine and now I am fearing there has been some electric damage due to low power.

just kings and queens do their thing. Domination 😂❤

Muchas gracias por tu excelente explicación, estimado amigo de Auto Repair! 😊

I noticed that my battery keeps having corrosion not a lot but I sandpapered the terminals and cables and this winter time has started to show some battery acid. My cars running fine but one day actually on Election Day my car took 4 turn overs to start. Is that just lose cables or is my battery going? At startup my battery’s about 14v and during driving it’ll be around 13.4-12.3 (05 civic ex special edition)

+Ugh I forgot my name Thanks for checking us out! While we cannot give a proper diagnosis, it sounds like the cables may be loose if this fluctuates that much. Going over bumps or centrifugal force may cause it to not have a full connection all the time. You can always take this to a local auto shop and have them check it out in person and see what they say.

Does it work if I use a power bank?

Was that a Chris Fix keychain I saw Len?

How would you determine if the battery was overcharged or damaged by the jump? Could the different alternators be in conflict and cause problems to either systems?

Ground is ground. Battery terminal and chassis are the same electrically.

Several comments: Can you further explain at about 5:00 you mention that it will create a fused circuit so you don't damage engine computers, but I don't see how it is different than connecting to negative post. Isn't it all a complete circuit from positive to the load to the engine ground back to the negative post. I guess I don't get how that is safer. Is there any logic to why you get corrosion on battery posts. I have seen in other places that people indicate on the different posts that it is a sign of overcharging or undercharging alternator. Is it more the battery (sealed vs unsealed) and the fact that the water ports are so close to the posts that leakage helps contribute?

The main reason is the explosive gas caused by the battery. You don't want a spark near the battery your trying to jump. Thank you for checking out the video. If you need auto parts go to: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-Now

I understood the part about the potential explosion caused by a spark when connecting the Negative jumper to the negative battery terminal (in all my years of jumping vehicles, I have NEVER had that problem), but how does connecting the Negative jumper to the frame instead of the negative battery terminal make a difference in frying the vehicle's computer? Thought that happened from accidentally mixing up the Positive and Negative jumpers.

Thanks, perfectly done. Easy to understand and I jumped my Mustang with no fear of an explosion……😁

A battery in Phoenix lasts about 18 months...

Okay I have a question. I have the messing with hot rods my whole life I know how to jumpstart a car blah blah blah. Here's something I've never had to do. I have a piece of Dodge truck the Beast, ram 1500 piece of crap ranch truck how to get a new battery for it start it right up zero freaking oil shut it right off immediately good battery. Have a 2007 Mitsubishi eclipse ran great, lost the key for 4 months in the yard. In florida. Won't start now obviously he is damaged I'm getting a locksmith in but that is completely out of oil as well like bone dry and the battery is dead so I got a new battery put a new battery in it. Then promptly left the f****** key on all day yesterday. Trying to get a giant spider out of the car lol. So ... Mitsubishi won't start won't turn over because the key needs to be reprogrammed, can't do that without a new battery that has a charge. Can't charge the battery because my battery charger has been ruined by somebody else. Can I just take the battery out of my truck and hook them up together with cables will it just charge the car battery over time it's not going to do any good, how long will it take do you think and yes I put oil in both vehicles LOL

+JOE Hyundai Tech Thanks for the feedback!

Almost correct, DVM definitely necessary! Use a jump pack, electrical issues are like ( STDs/ STV ) . You are placing your vehicle’s electrical system at risk, may not immediately indicate damage. With today’s cars, a fuse won’t protect against all electrical damage. Be safe not sorry.

I wish I watched this before I tried to figure it out myself (the wire got completely burnt)

She likes to say obviously and of course.

3:09 jump start

Engine ground on the dead car....always. You could sit there for 30mins+ sometimes and still not be cranked with battery to battery hook up.
