Jump Starter Cable to the Dead Car Battery

Jump Starter Cable to the Dead Car Battery - Hi, I'm Mark Blocker in behalf of Expert Village. In this segment we're mosting likely to discuss ways to connect the cables to the dead vehicle, the vehicle having to be jumped. When you connect to the vehicle that's being started, you want to earn sure that accessories are off, keys off, headlights, nothing gets on whatsoever. You wish to connect to the positive terminal first and you wish to connect the negative somewhere on the engine block. The engine block is the negative side of the grounding system. The reason for this is if there's a present drawing this vehicle, a light on, a dome light, when I connect to this terminal it will cause a trigger from the energy being transferred. 

That spark could ignite the gases and cause the battery to explode. If I connect over here to the engine and there's a trigger, its well far from the battery. It also eliminates a prospective bad connection on the negative terminal and cable to the engine. So we're bypassing those two parts of the electrical system and going straight to the engine cause that's where the starter is connected. So we've got a great solid ground right there with the starter on the engine and the positive will boil down through the system. See another Jump Starter Cable to the Dead Car Battery here
