- Before connecting a foreign battery, make sure that the ignition is turned off.
- Turn off all electrical equipment (lights, heater, windshield wipers, etc.)
- Follow all additional precautions printed in the battery manual.
- Make sure. that a foreign battery has the same voltage as yours.
- If the battery of another vehicle is used as a bystander, the vehicles must not touch each other.
- Make sure the transmission is in position "neutral" (or "PARK" in case of automatic transmission).
Lighting from another car can, of course, temporarily solve your problem. However, it is important to find out the reason. which caused the battery to drain. There may be three reasons for this:
- 1. The battery may have been discharged from numerous attempts to start the engine or because the external lights were not turned off.
- 2. Faulty battery charging system (the alternator drive belt is loose or broken, or the alternator wiring is faulty, or the alternator itself is faulty).
- 3. The battery itself is faulty (low electrolyte density or damaged plates).
1. Connect one end of the red transfer wire to the positive (+) dead battery terminal
2. Connect the other end of the red wire to the positive (+) foreign battery terminal
3. Connect one end of the black transfer wire to the negative (-) foreign battery terminal
4. Attach the other end of the black wire to some engine bracket that needs to be started, away from the battery
5. Make sure. that the portable wires do not touch the fan, drive belts, or other moving parts of the engine.
6. Start the engine with a foreign battery. When the engine starts to run steadily at idle, disconnect the portable wires in the reverse order of connection.
