Instructions for using a Jump Starter to jump your Dead Car Battery

If you are a lucky enough to own a jump starter, getting your dead battery back to like is a little easier and you will not need another car to do it. Jump starters are great item to carry in your car or truck as a back up power supply. The main advantage is that you do not need a another vehicle to jump start your dead battery. The jump starter acts as its own stand by power source. Most units also come equipped with an extra outlet to power cell phones and laptops. A jump starter is very simple to use and operate.

  2. Clamp the positive (red +) clamp to the positive terminal on the vehicle battery
      (for negative ground system), or an alternate vehicle starting point as
    recommended by vehicle manufacturer.
  3. Clamp the negative (black –) clamp to the vehicle ground (non-moving metal part,
    such as the vehicle frame). 
  4. Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving engine parts (belts, fans, etc.).

    for 3 minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again or you may damage it.

    vehicle frame and return it to its holster.
