Energizer 84020 12V All-In-One Jump-Start System

Driving a car is a passion rather than a basic requirement of our daily life. When we board a car, we would always like to be on the driver's seat, as occupying the drivers seat is a real pleasure in our life. We dream about a life where our first desire would to be an owner of a car. Car gives us comfort, luxury and status in the eyes of the on lookers.

We approach our car press button on the remote, occupy the driver's seat and drive away to our destination. We need not wait for the bus. We do not make ourselves a part of the crowd rushing to occupy a seat in local trains and metros. We feel ourselves the luckiest families having a prize possession that is a Car.

In spite of all the above we sometimes become targets of peculiar gaze of the onlookers when our car breaks down or we become a traffic-stopper and vehicles on our rear blare and honk on us. We sometimes land in a trouble because of minor faults in our car or due to our poor expertise in driving.

How to Start a Car With a Weak Battery

Let us discuss a common problem that we face with our cars and the probable ways to address it without taking help of some trained Motor Mechanic:

Car does not start due to Weak Battery:

If our car battery is older than 18 months then its capacity for recharging and in turn providing adequate power supply to the self-starter to start the car, is considerably reduced. In such cases, the automobile workshops advise us to replace the battery with new ones. Yet, during the intervening periods, we need to know the ways to start the car.

We face similar problem when we keep our car unused for prolonged periods and the battery is discharged on its own.

1. Push Start:

There are two ways to start a car with a weak battery. The first one is our age-old system of 'Push Start'. The user's guide provided by the car-manufacturers along with the vehicles do not recommend this way of starting the car. Yet, we have to resort to this way if the car stops in a remote place where there is no other way to move vehicle and reach out for a safer place.

First, make adequate arrangements for moving the car manually. Here are the ways to move the car manually for 'push start'. Place your car on a down gradient and let the car roll down for picking-up adequate speed for moving it in 2nd gear. The other way is to take help of someone to push the car from the rear for achieving a desired speed.

Now, before moving the car you need to occupy driver's seat and take the following actions in proper sequence:

Move the gear lever to '2nd gear'; press the clutch paddle full; press the accelerator a little; insert the ignition key and twist it to 'switch-on' position; Now ask someone to push the car as described in the proceeding paragraph. Wait for the car to achieve the desired speed. Then release the clutch until the engine starts. Your car engine will start running.

Push the clutch again and bring the gear lever to 'neutral gear'. Now either you run the engine in idle condition or else drive away to your destination.

2. Jump Start:

The recommended way to start a car is by 'jump start' system. For this you need to have a well-charged battery or else you may use any other battery fitted on a car. Now you need to have a pair of two-meter long thick electric cables strong enough to withstand 30amp load. There should be crocodile clips properly attached to both the ends of the cables. Patented ready-made 'Jump Start' cables are also available in the market and it is advisable to have one pair of cables in our car for crisis management.

The 'Jump Start' procedure is simple. Bring the other car near to your car; connect the red cable to the Positive Ports (marked +) of batteries of both the cars; connect the black cable to Negative Ports (marked -) of both the batteries. By doing this you have connected the well-charged battery of the other car to your car. In other words, you are now using the battery of the other car for your own car.

Now occupy the driver's seat; bring the gear lever to 'neutral gear'; push clutch paddle full; insert ignition key in its slot and start your car as usual. For keeping the engine running apply hand break; let the car be in 'neutral gear'; let the ignition key remain in its slot; open the window glass of driver's door and come out of your car leaving the engine in 'idle running'.

Remove the cables and keep them in your trunk. Shift the other car to its original place. Now you should drive away for recharging your car battery. Go for a long drive at least for 5 - 10 km possibly at lower gears and essentially without putting-on your AC.

In this way your battery will be recharged for your normal use. In some types of batteries, you need to check the acid-level in the battery. If the level has gone down you may pour some distilled water by opening the caps with the help of a coin.

In general, Battery-life is specified between 18 - 24 months if your battery has crossed its 18-month life, then you have to be vigilant about your battery, as it would not recharge well and supply inadequate power output required by the self-starter to start your car-engine. Eventually, you should change the battery at right time. There are good exchange-offers in the market, so that you may exchange your old battery with a new one at a lower rate even before it is completely drained-out.

Car batteries can lose their ability to crank an engine for several reasons. When they do, a quick jump-start will help recharge them. The key is to follow a methodical process in order to ensure your personal safety while avoiding electrical problems.

You have probably heard that an automotive battery can potentially explode. This is true, which is the reason you should wear protective goggles while changing, cleaning, or jump-starting one. The danger is due to hydrogen gas contained within the unit. It can be ignited by an errant spark. That said, the danger is slight; exploding batteries are extremely rare.

In this article, you'll discover the step-by-step procedure for properly jump-starting your car's battery.

The Non-Mechanic's Guide to Jump-Starting a Car Battery

Preparatory Steps

A jump-start requires two vehicles, your own and the jumper - or booster - vehicle. Park the booster vehicle with its battery as close as possible to your own without the cars making contact. Then, turn the ignition off (as well as the radio and other devices) and set the parking brake on both automobiles.

Take a look at your jumper cables. One will be attached to a red clamp and the other will be attached to a black clamp. Ideally, the cables should be heavy-duty and the metal clamps should be completely clean of corrosion.

Next, take a look at the posts on both batteries. One will be positive and the other will be negative. The positive post should have a plus ("+") sign and the negative one should be marked with a minus ("-") sign.

Making The Connections

First, connect one of the red clamps to the positive post on your dead battery. Make sure the connection is secure. Then, connect the other red clamp of the jumper cable to the positive post on the booster car's battery.

Connect one of your jumper cable's two black clamps to the negative post on the booster car. Then, connect the last remaining free clamp to the hull of your vehicle or to a metal ground somewhere on the engine.

Sending The Charge

Start the jumper vehicle and let it idle for two or three minutes. Then, start your own automobile and let it idle. If your engine refuses to turn over, turn it off. There are likely other problems that need to be resolved. If you're persistent and keep trying to turn your engine over, you might cause damage to your starter.

Assuming you're able to start your vehicle, disconnect the clamps of your jumper cables in the same order that you connected them. Then, either connect the battery to a charger or drive your car for approximately twenty minutes before turning the engine off.

Batteries occasionally lose their charge and need to be jump-started. It's a simple procedure, but it must be performed according to the guidelines above in order to ensure your safety and that of your vehicle.

With wintertime and dead batteries that will not turn over a car or truck's starter motor now is as good a time as any to learn how to jump start your auto with electrical booster cables. True you can wait for your local auto league if you have a membership on order with the auto club or you can await roadside assistance that came with your new car from the dealership but no doubt in the coldest of winter you can wait, wait and wait and wait for the tow trucker or auto boost vehicle. It might just be a good skill to have - to be able to start your car quickly and safely with no damage to your automobile's electrical system. Now is as good a time as any to get it right.

Fist things first. Ensure that the two vehicles are not touching in any way at their bumpers. While it is true that most autos now have plastic and plastic covered bumpers you can never be too sure or careful. Next make it a solid point to always have the two ends - the red and black ends of the jumper cables firmly apart and not touching. Otherwise sparking and short circuits will result.

Now that you are sure that the vehicles are not touching in any way and the two ends of each jumper cable are not touching as well and are safely apart, raise the car hood. Locate the battery. It is usually in the front of the engine compartment, ahead of the engine, either on the left or right front side.

Jump Starting Your Car or Truck With Battery Booster Start Cables

Locate the terminals on battery - usually on the top or at the worst on the top of the battery either side, or on the side of the battery - typically on the backwards side edge of the battery on the left and right.

The larger terminal of the two is almost always the positive battery terminal (marked with a plus that is "positive" (+) signs). That is what you will place the red colored jumper cable jaw. The other is the negative current cable. It is usually marked black in color either at the terminal or the plastic insulated lead coverings. The positive terminal may have a piece of plastic as an electrical insulating cover over it. You may have to pry this off in the cold. Cold plastic in 40 below winter weather can be quite rigid even if flexible in summer heat. Be most careful. If you use a metal screwdriver to pry off the positive terminal cover and complete an electric circuit with the screwdriver to the grounded metal of the car you might get quite a spark and a good jolt to boot.

When it comes to discussions on boosting cars there is no end to the debate if the cars should be running or not. It is personal preference. What is most important is that the final connection of the black clamp (the ground) should be to the dead battery car, not the one with the charged battery. This connection can be made to a metal part of the car firmly, or to the negative (-) battery terminal. If you connect to the live battery, especially at the battery terminal a spark can result which can light the hydrogen sulfide gasses which linger around charged and charging batteries. A serious explosion of the battery with its sulfuric acid into your face can result risking injury to yourself and even blindness.

Hence the major steps to step when boosting a dead battery with battery booster jumper cables are first to make sure the cars or their bumpers are not touching 2) Make sure that the cars are in park 3) affix the cables to the proper terminals. Finally to stress the final connection goes to the dead car's battery terminals or frame never to the vehicle with the good charged battery. Have a safe and enjoyable winter time driving season this year.

If you are a lucky enough to own a jump starter, getting your dead battery back to like is a little easier and you won't 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.

Here are the steps:

Turn ignition off before making cable connections.

Jump Starter! The Easiest Way To Start Your Dead Car Battery

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.

Clamp the negative (black -) clamp to the vehicle ground (non-moving metal part, such as the vehicle frame).

Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving engine parts (belts, fans, etc.).

Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition). If the vehicle doesn't start within 6 seconds, let the jump starter cool for 3 minutes before attempting to start the vehicle again or you may damage it.

When the vehicle is started, disconnect the negative (-) battery clamp from the vehicle frame and return it to its holster.

Disconnect the positive (+) clamp and return it to it's holster.

SUGGESTED RECHARGE TIMES FOR YOUR JUMP STARTER

After a single jump start: 1 hour

After multiple jump starts: 12 hours or overnight

After using as portable power: 24-36 hours

Equipment failure can be minimized through proper vehicle maintenance and care. But even with proper maintenance, car lights can accidentally be left on, or the radio left on for a long period of time, causing power loss. What should you do if you are caught in such a predicament? Keep the following pointers in mind.

1. DON'T PANIC....As with any incident the worst thing you can do is Panic.
2. If not already off the road, try to stay out of harms way.
3. Warn other drivers by using Reflective Safety Triangles or Emergency Lights (both of which are available in your Red Cross Emergency Safety Kit).
4. Check your battery by turning the ignition key to the Start Position. If you hear a rapid clicking sound, or the lights come on and then go dim, or no sound at all, check the battery connections.
5. To no avail, it is time to use your Easy-Start Battery Charger which can be located in your American Red Cross Basic Auto Safety Kit.
6. Remember gases emitting from the battery, so do not smoke or light a cigarette around the battery.
7. Do not attempt to push start your vehicle, besides this being a great danger to you and others, this could also damage your engine.
8. Avoid all contact with battery acid...it is very corrosive.
9. Do not disconnect the battery of a DISABLED vehicle.
10. Be certain the vehicle to be jumped and the assisting vehicle are not touching. Also be sure you are not touching both vehicles at the same time while charging.
11. Turn your Easy-Start Battery Charger to the "test" position, and insert the plug into the dead car's 12-volt/lighter receptacle.
12. Insert the other plug into the receptacle of the car with the good battery.
13. In the car with the dead battery turn the ignition key to the Off position. A test light will turn green and the charge light will turn red to indicate a good, solid connection.
14. Turn the Easy-Start Battery Charger switch to the "Charge" position.
15. Start the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running until it charges the dead battery.
16. Once the car with the dead battery is properly charged, do not shut off the vehicle until you reach your destination; and then immediately have the battery checked for proper voltage.

Always remember to Keep the Easy-Start Battery Charger out of the reach of children.
The Easy-Start Battery Charger is only designed for emergency purposes.
Be certain the input to your car is 12-volts. Do not use a 24-volt power supply, as this can harm your vehicle's electrical system.
