Jump starting a car with weak batteries are quite straightforward.<\/p>\n

NOTE : Try to use Donor cars which are a larger engine capacity to make the jump start easier.\u00a0Actually, displacement\/engine capacity is not important. Just a rule of thumb for the size of the alternator… For example, in this article, the donor car is a classic Mini Cooper with upgraded 65W Alternator, enough to jump start almost any street cars.
\n<\/p>\n

1) Make sure all Power Consuming items are switched off. (AirCon, Fan, Room Lights, Headlights, Boot are closed)
\n2) Connecting the Jump Start Cable with the correct Polarity..
\nRED = POSITIVE = +VE
\nBLACK = NEGATIVE = -VE<\/p>\n

3) Connect the same to the ‘donor’ car.
\n4) Rev up the engine of the Donor car up to at least 3000 rpm before attempting to Crank up the car.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nLocate the +VE post of the car battery. Usually clearly marked in Red.
\nThe -VE post of the battery is marked in Black or with thick black wires.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nHere are the standard Jumper Cable… RED and BLACK
\nDO NOT USE\/DIY any standard electrical cables for Jump Start.. It will catch fire.. \u00a0Unless, the DIY cables are at least 4 gauge.. 0 gauge are the best..<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCorrect the Red crocodile clip to the +VE post of the battery. And Black clip to the -VE of the battery. Alternatively, you can connect to any engine part that is closes to the engine starter motor.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOr as indicated by the Mitsubishi Lancer, this metal plate on top of the ECU is the best position.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
Locate the battery from the donor car (they are not always positioned in front of the car) and make sure you have enough length on the jumping cable.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"
\nConnect to the donor car.<\/p>\n

Best to start up the donor car first and rev the engine up to 3,000 rpm to charge up the battery a little before attempting to jump start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
