- Park an operational vehicle near the one being boosted. Find a vehicle that’s running normally, then park it close to the vehicle with the dead battery.
- Prepare to boost the dead vehicle. Ensure both vehicles have 12-volt batteries by examining their labels. This isn’t a huge concern, because all modern vehicles come with 12-volt batteries, with only some antique vehicles using a 6-volt system If you happen to come across an antique vehicle with a flat battery, call in a pro.
- Connect the jumper cables. Be aware that the orientation in which you connect your jumper cables to the vehicle batteries is very important. Connecting the two sets of battery terminals together wrong could cause a dead short (an electrical circuit with lots of amperage but very little resistance), cause sparking, melt your jumper cables and possibly damage [the batteries and electronic systems of both vehicles.
- Jump-start the dead vehicle. Double-check that your jumper cable connections are all solid, then start up the operational vehicle. Wait several seconds, then attempt to start the dead vehicle.
- Safety first. Before beginning ensure your clothing and jewelry do not interfere during the procedure. It’s a good idea to wear protective gloves and goggles if you can, and keep loose hair or clothing tied up.
- Inspect and clean your jumper cables. Make sure the connectors and wires are in good shape and rust free. Clean the clamps before attaching them to the car batteries.
- Park near your working vehicle. Park a working vehicle next to yours. Pop both hoods and secure them. Make sure the batteries are close enough for the cables to reach and not interfere with moving parts under the hood.
- Identify your cables. It’s important to connect the jumper cables to the correct battery terminals. The red connector clamp will connect to the positive battery terminal/post and the black connector clamp will connect to the negative battery terminal/post.
Connect the positive end (typically red) of one of the jumper cables to the positive terminal on the dead battery (labeled with a “+” sign). Generally, the battery’s positive terminal is larger than the negative one and could have a cover on it.
