Roadside repairs: Jump Starting


Jump starting will get you out of trouble, but you must learn whatever made your battery go drain in the first place. There are three (3) possibilities;
1. The battery has been drained by repeated attempts to start.
2. Leaving the lights on
3. The charging system is not working properly ( alternator drive-belt slack or broken, alternator wiring fault or alternator itself is faulty)
4 The battery is at fault (electrolyte low or battery cell is worn out)

When jump-starting a car using booster battery, observe the following precautions:
  • Before connecting the booster battery, make sure that the ignition is switched off.
  • Ensure that all electrical equipment (lights, heater, wipers, entertainment, etc) is switched off. 
  • Take note of any special precautions printed on the battery case.
  • Make sure that the booster battery is the same voltage as the discharged one in the vehicle.
  • If the battery is being jump-started from the battery in another vehicle, the two vehicles must not touch each other.
  • Make sure that the transmission is in neutral for manual ( or park for automatic transmission vehicle)


How to connect jumper wire?


  • Connect one end of the red jump lead to positive (+) terminal of the flat battery
  • Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery
  • Connect one end of the black jumper wire to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery.
  • Connect the other end of the black jump wire lead to the bolt or bracket on the engine on the vehicle to be started
  • Make sure that the jump leads will not come into contact with cooling fan, drive-belts or other moving parts of the engine.
  • Start the engine using the booster battery and run it at idle speed. Switch on the lights, rear window demister and air-condition blower motor, then disconnect the jump leads in the reverse order of connection. Turn off the lights etc.
