This video has dangerous information in it please do not ever do the procedure shown in this video. There are a lot of people like you who are looking for information that they did not get taught when they were young. This is not where you should be looking. Connecting the final black lead to the battery carries a very serious risk. Once a car battery is fully discharged it releases hydrogen gas. Connecting the final black lead to the battery negative terminal will cause a spark. If your battery is close enough to the end of its life and enough hydrogen gas has built up around it this will cause an explosion. This video is objectively dangerous and I am trying my best to get it taken down.

You don't need the live battery car to be running to jumpstart the dead battery car. The correct way is to turn the ignition to position 1 on the dead battery car and wait at least 3 minutes, and then start it with the live battery car being completely off. On older cars, it's OK, but on newer cars that are full of electronics, having both alternators on can cause electrical damage.

You really shouldn't listen to this guy. Following this advice is likely to cause an explosion. As a car battery loses charge it releases hydrogen gas. The closer to the end of the batteries life the more gas it releases. Connecting the final black lead to the negative terminal of the dead battery causes a spark. That spark will ignite the gas and blow you up. You should be connecting the final lead to a bare piece of metal far away from the battery and any electronics. This information is dangerous and this man is an idiot.

As far as I can see, she's right there ready to help when he first hands her the cables. And also, when he goes to connect the second vehicle, she has the cables ready and hands the cables right back to him right as he needs them. It just seems to me like she's just hiding behind him because she might be embarrassed she doesn't have her hair and make up done or something. ... Believe me if that was a girl taking her dad for granted she would just be like barely engaged not listening to anything he was saying looking bored being dramatic etc. This girl just looks like she's hiding herself behind her father... but otherwise is very attentive and engaged in helping.

Procedure is not ok. Correct steps to be followed are: Switch off all electrical items in both the cars. Switch off the ignition and take out the keys from both the cars. Connect one end of the Red jumper cable to the Positive (+) terminal of the dead battery, mostly Red. Connect the other end of the Red jumper cable to the Positive (+) terminal of the good battery, mostly Red. Connect one end of the Black jumper cable to the Negative (-) terminal of the good battery, mostly Black. Connect the other end of the Black jumper cable to some unpainted metallic part of the car with the dead battery. Note: For safety do not use the Negative (-) terminal of the dead battery. Start the car with the good battery and let it tun for some time. Now start the car with the dead battery. It should start. If it doesn't wait for some more time and try again. If it still doesn't start call a mechanic. Disconnecting the jumper cables should be done in the reverse order of the connecting sequence.

That's the safest way to do it, but it's still not common knowledge. Most cars made in the early 2000s or before will be just fine, but if the car you are using to jump the dead one is a newer model, you run the risk of short circuiting the electronics on it by directly connecting both negative terminals. Instead, by connecting the negative terminal to a separate component on the dead car (a nut/bolt or piece of metal not directly connected to the dead battery), the risk of a short circuit is basically zero. So to recap, you should: 1) Make sure both cars are off 2) Connect the red clips to the positive (+) terminals on BOTH batteries 3) Connect the black clip to the negative (-) terminal on the GOOD battery 4) Connect the other black clip to a SEPARATE metal piece of the car that is being jumped and NOT to any other part of the dead battery 5) Start the engine on the jumper car, let it run for 5-10 minutes, then try starting the dead car 6) If it starts up, leave the engine running while you safely disconnect the clips, one at a time in the reverse order

Black to ground for dead battery is safer BUT these days most engine bays are covered in plastic including the engine so getting a good ground isn't easy or common sense. Stg true story, saw some folks trying to jump start a car and when I walked up they said there was no point as it wouldn't start. Saw the black hooked up to plastic engine cover, switched it over to the battery and it started easy. So black to ground on dead safer for electronics Black to black on dead for the average American intelligence

This is correct. When a battery charges and discharges, it creates hydrogen gas, which is explosive. When the last jumper cable connects, there is typically a small spark which let's you know all cables are connected. If the vehicle has been sitting in an area with little air movement, there is a small chance the spark could ignite the gas, causing an explosion. Typically, the battery is low on water, creating a storage area for gas buildup, and if the vent tube on the battery is disconnected, allowing the gas to be close to the terminal. Not all batteries are serviceable, but if yours is, be sure to mix baking soda and water to rinse off the outside of the battery first. Once there is no fizzing, wipe dry and let air dry. Then, get distilled water and pop the caps off the battery. This will vent the hydrogen gas. Then fill each cell 90% full or about 3/4" from the top of the hole. Put the caps back on, then start charging. Be safe. Don't blow your ass up.

Perfect and one more step NEVER RUN THE CAR WHILE STARTING THE DEAD BATTERY!! IT KILLS THE ALTERNATOR!! Charge for about 5-10 min while car is running , then turn off the car, then start the dead battery car.. 👍

another video said black to ground is not necessary with newer jumper cables because they dont spark. Dont know if that is true or not but thought I would mention it since I saw people arguing about this lol. I have only done black to black on my car but I was using a nolo jumper so not sure if that makes a difference.

I'm tow truck driver I do this for a living You make sure that the live battery vehicle is on before you make the connection because if you hook up to the dead battery and the vehicle's not running it can automatically short the live battery and you'll be in a position where your car won't start! You always hook up the live battery first and then hook up the negative the dead battery not simultaneously life battery both hooked up positive negative and then hook up the positive homework dead battery and then the negative

You don’t need to let it run to give it a charge. Have it off instead that way the battery isn’t trying to keep 2 engines going at once. You’ll have better chances at knowing if it’s a battery issue, alternator, or wiring issue.

Red and black on the battery of the car being jumped, red on the battery and black to a ground that isn't the negative battery terminal on the car doing the jumping. The alternator usually has a bracket to clamp to, if not, the body will work, the engine will work, the frame will work.

The negative on the "dead" battery needs to go onto the body of the car (assuming it's a negative earth system) to create a potential difference across the starter motor.

now days with complex electronics, jumper cable is thing of the past when a good portable jumper battery cost $50 that can be carry in the car along with other emergency kit. I just charge the battery couple times a year just to have a full power ready to go if need for jumping, charging portable electronics, etc.

Thanks for the information, But it shouldn't be done like that anymore. Because new cars have these computer Motherboards, that you could burn it out. By jumping the vehicle battery to battery.

Very true. It doesn't happen often, but it is always a possibility. As an extra precaution, simply connect the other black clamp to a separate part of the dead vehicle and NOT directly to the negative (-) terminal on the dead battery. A nut or bolt or other metal part of the car can be used as a ground instead, which will help prevent a short circuit.

_Correct Way To Do It_ 1. Red(Dead) to Red(Charged) 2. Black(Charged) and ground the other black(Dead) And removing is vise versa, meaning the opposite of how you did it. *Also to be safe, you should never connect two positives with two negatives which makes a closed circuit and will cause a fire and melt the jumper cables LIKE IN THIS VIDEO*

Last connection you make with the black cable should be to a ground at least 6 inches away from the battery. Anything metal and not connected to anything else is a ground.

For who wants to know what happens when you connect red to black: it burns cable and welds cables beacouse of short circuit. if you know better about the electricity works: it just drags alota amps tru than it burns cable to nothing melts and sparks

Don't start the car with the good battery. Just use the good battery to start the dead car. After it started, un connect jumper cables and then start the car with the good battery.

Don't think all battery red covers go to positive. Look on the battery itself for a + or - mark indicating where the real connecting posts are.
