Maam c4u when using jumper cable... stay mo muna ng 5-10mins... before starting.. para magka charge din ng kunti yung dead battery mo...

then start....

[_Cathy_]

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...

I literally LOLd on this :rofl:

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

sir tanong lang po..

it means ba kahit alternator charging lang can cause this?

hindi po ba constantly nag charge ang battery natin when the car is running?

paano nalang po yung ibang sasakyan na nasa loob ng sasakyan ang battery?

it's one thing to be careful and it's another thing to be OA

sa sobra dami mo iniisip that can go wrong halos hindi ka na kikilos

para safe ka pwede ka mag suot ng hazmat suit... just to jumper-cable a tiny 1sm battery to another tiny 1sm battery

Ano na ang nangyari, nasa theory ng jumper cable parin ba?
