You don’t have to necessarily know your way around underneath the hood of a vehicle to know how to help someone out on the side of the road or in a parking lot. When another car has a dead battery, leaving the driver stranded, come to their rescue with these tips for using jumper cables.
Make sure to put the first red clip onto the positive end of your car’s battery before placing the other red end on the opposite battery’s positive terminal. Now, clamp a black clip onto the negative end of the other car’s battery, and place the last black clip on the metal strut keeping your hood open.
Now it’s time to crank your engine and let it run to charge up the other battery. After several minutes of letting your car run, try to start the other vehicle. If it runs, make sure to drive it around Monroe, NC for a little while to ensure the battery is completely charged.
