The batteries only create the hydrogen gas when it reaches approx a 95% charged state or it is either fast charging or overcharged. There is always a possibility of residual hydrogen gas being left over from the previous charge cycle but highly doubtful. An exploding battery is always possible but if done correctly charging them is perfectly safe. I have been a professional technician for 35 years and never seen one explode yet. Only heard stories. And I have charged countless of thousands of batteries in my time considering I was in an extreme cold weather environment (Alaska) for most of my career.(Never attempt to charge a battery with low electrolyte or a frozen battery) You are supposed to shut off the charging vehicle before starting. But I have always connected the cables red on dead batt, then red on doner battery, then found on doner, and ground on engine block of dead to bare metal.

You need the car running for your altenator to keep your car charged, and to charge their system. This can easily take a few minutes. Especially if you're just letting the good car idle since it take higher RPMs for the alternator to push out decent amperage. Once the car that died starts you should disconnect the jumper cables. Let their alternator charge their system. So you need the good car running, but it shouldn't continue to be hooked up after a successful jump. If you're not sire check the owners manual. There are risks to certain equipment doing it this way, and frying a battery is the least of your worries if you fry something. Also make sure your not jumping a lithium battery with a standard battery. You need a smart charger or jump box with a charge controller.

His advice is accurate due to the risk involved with the production of hydrogen gases. But, with that being said, the do not start producing until the right conditions are met. 1) the battery reaches about a 90% charged state or 2) the battery is being fast charged or 3) there is a small chance that the gas could be still built up under you hood from the previous charge cycle (but doubtful). And those are the reason they are saying to not hook the last connection to the battery term but neither the block or strut bolt ect. Because they don't want a spark created directly over the battery. But NEVER attemt to charge a frozen or swelled battery or one that has a dry cells (low acid/electrolyte) because that can and likely will cause an explosion. In my professional 35year career as a technician I have only heard rumors of batteries exploding but I did get to see the after math once and don't want to be leaning over the hood when and if it ever does happen.

No. You always hook the black jumper cable to a grounded piece of metal. By connecting it to the black terminal on the battery you’re essentially getting the electricity to just barely and slowly go into the battery. It’s like this. By having a complete connection like that the electricity flows a lot like a small trickle out of a hose, while when you have it grounded it flows like a fully opened hose. So yes it will work by connecting both terminals but it will take way way way longer. And if the battery on the other vehicle isn’t great you can wind up running that one too low until now you’re both screwed. Lol

But aside from the cables, positive to positive is correct, however, the negative to negative is asking for trouble, what should be done instead is, negative of good battery to body/ engine ground of vehicle being jumped. This removes any spark potential from being over the top of a defective battery that could be “off-gassing “ hydrogen. P.s. a good set of slave cables, has a circuit for protection of the “running vehicle “, and also a circuit protecting for reversed polarity connection, but this can also be an issue for someone who has a vintage automobile that has a positive grounding electrical system!

You should not have the car with the charged battery started. It’s okay to run that car to help build charge in the dead battery. But when you are starting the car with the dead battery then the car with the full battery should be turned off. Otherwise you could cause a power surge that will fry the alternator or other electronics in either vehicle. Make sure the jumper car is turned off when you attempt to start the vehicle with the dead battery. You are simply borrowing power from the other vehicle to help start the car. Also note: You should always hook up the ground (black cable) first and remove it last.

Looks like a ritual lol. As electronics engineer i can tell that the connection order doesnt matter. But if you connect to car body then this will add some mohms to the circuit.

Never have donor car running when trying to jump dead car unless all the cars were made in 90s. Newer cars have do many electronic modules that you ll fry them. Lots of $$$ to replace. The advice to connect both batteries and start good battery car and run it for 5-10 mins is good. Then shut down the donor car and just start the dead car. Also as many people pointed out it is way safer to connect dead battery negative black terminal to car body instead to battery terminal

Most people jump cars outside so going to the terminal is fine, however, jump an old car that's been sitting in an enclosed space, you'll get an award. 💀

Another tip is to make sure all accessories (heat, ac, radio, lights etc.) are turned off and that all car doors are fully closed before jumping.

Back in the day they would touch the metal bumpers to make a ground and just connect a positive cable.

Agree negative should never go on the dead Carterton, if it's truly dead it can act like a giant resistor & absorb all the current, so dead car won't start......

This is the old way of jumping cars. You don't jump newer vehicles because there's a risk of frying the obc from no regulation. Use a booster box people.

Good way to fry a computer. Turn off helper car before cranking. Also most new cars have jump points labeled that are not on the battery. Just buy a jump pack to carry in the trunk and leave the cables in the attic.

From what I've gathered, you can leave your car running for a few minutes, but you should shut off before dead car tries starting,,

Never put a nagative terminal on the dead battery. Always put it on bare metal part such as engine hoist points. Also never run both engine at the same time as the alternators will interact against one another.

Bad advice. The dead car should always have the black clamp on a grounded bolt, never on the black terminal.

I’ve been a merc Benz tech for 42 years and jumping vehicles is not what it used to be! These vehicles now deal with minimal voltages and amperage’s and all it takes is one little blue spark to blow something in a control unit so just be very careful when jumping newer vehicles

That is incorrect the dead battery. The negative battery cable is supposed to go to a groundout on the car so it runs through the battery not just in and out of the battery. Also you turn off the running car when it's time to start the dead car because you do not want the alternators over charging and frying the alternators. This is for all cars newer than like 2005

no. you just f up both cars. A always find a good bolt to connect the ground. B let the good battery charge dead battery. after some time, shut off charging car, disconnect cables then start dead car

Never leave both cars running at the same time while hooked up after starting. Turn the good battery car OFF, then start the dead car. Ground negative to frame. NOT on the dead battery terminal..

Supposed to connect the black (ground) to a metal piece instead of the battery. This eliminates the rare chance of explosion due to gases emitted by the battery.

With cable you need another car with a kind driver to connect to his battery if ever they will stop to help you. I bought rechargeable portable battery to all my cars from Costco. I was able to start my car when needed. You won't regret if you have one.

Just goes to show you that no matter how old someone is doesn't mean they actually know what the fuck they're doing. You never put the black negative on your battery. It goes on a piece of metal so your frame or if you find a ground nut you can't do this. Especially with modern day cars. The computers EFI all those systems cannot get a surge

⚠️ NOOOO! You do NOT connect the black to the dead battery! This is not a “matter of personal preference!” The dead battery can be gassing off FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN!! If it is, and clamping the black to the dead battery causes any sort of spark (which it usually does), the battery will BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE. Instead, clamp the black side to a bare metal post somewhere on your struts, or by your hood release!! ⛔️

Don't volunteer to jump someone. Modern cars have too many electronics to risk zapping them by connecting two cars together with cables. Use at your own risk

You can avoid all of this if you get someone to push your car up to about 40mph and then dump it from Neutral into drive. Boom. It’ll start up every time.

Better to connect the last black cable clamp to a solid metal part of the engine block to avoid making a spark near the battery which could cause an explosion of the dead battery. Safety First!

When both engines are running, you're running the alternators against each other, which can damage your alternator.
