    May naalala kasi ako na may proper seqeunce e nalimutan ko na. Pati sa pag tanggal ng clamp may proper sequence daw

    Tapos una ko sisindihan yung working car diba?
    Working red positive to dead red positive
    Working black negative to the engine block of the car being started ( anywhere that there is solid metal where the alligator clamp can be attached)

    Your main goal is to jump start the car, by doing the above you are effectively using the battery of your altis to start your corolla via the jumper cables. If you connect the poles, you are decreasing starting current from your good battery because your dead battery is in part absorbing it.

    Ayan na, nagsalita na ang master ng jumper cables....

    Tumpak....

    Also, if I may add, safety reason din para maiwasan ang fumes coming from the battery kung direct terminal to terminal connection.....

    Pagtanggal,- reverse lang ng procedure...

    Is it advisable to jumpstart a car with the jumper cable on the good battery (negative terminal) connected to the ground of the other car instead of connecting it to the negative terminal of the dead battery directly?

    if you really think about it, you try to reduce the risk of a spark around a weak battery that has potential of gassing (hydrogen gas leaving the vents of the battery). the result is a battery sized hydrogen bomb. i personally connect the negative clamp of the dead car on the engine block before making the last connection to the negative terminal of the good car's battery (less than likely emitting hydrogen gas). some cars, the battery is in the trunk (bmw) some are inside the passenger compartment (cadillac allante, chevrolet corvette) and the jumper terminals are in the engine compartment. this makes the likelihood of the cable spark away from the battery. in military vehicles, the jumper system (called slave cables) are installed on the side or the front of the equipment that has idiot proof connections so even in pitch darkness (tactical conditions) you don't misconnect the cables

    i just connect the jumper cables to both batteries. we have done it often enough for decades now..i think the flow of air from the fan prevents hydrogen from accumulating.. we also do not rev the engine hard.. para lang nag-start nang ordinary.. start and idle, or maybe a little pedalwork for a few seconds.. then straight to the battery store for replacement.

    it is not a myth that hydrogen gas comes out of the battery vents if you are charging a battery. similar to charging, jump starting a vehicle, the weak battery produces hydrogen gas. there is always that risk. that is why the battery top warns you not to smoke, have an open flame and avoid sparks when connecting or disconnecting a battery. i once had a co worker in a construction company who was charging about thirty 7D batteries for heavy equipment who was a smoker. he would check batteries charging with a lit cigarette between his fingers. i told him about the risk. and he would brag that he had been doing this for decades. one lucky day, two batteries being charged exploded because of his lit up cigarette. he was lucky enough only two batteries exploded. he came running out of the shop screaming in pain from the cuts he sustained from the battery casings and the acid on his face. accidents are avoidable specially if you the risks. experience has it, batteries do explode when they are gassing and there is a source of ignition or spark. that co worker has since passed away, rest his soul but the lesson i learned from his indifferent mistake lives on
