Battery Jump Start - We Tow Cincinnati

Battery problems can happened at any time.  Let's face it - we ignore our vehicle's battery until it doesn't work, or is close to not working.  And, in colder months, batteries are more stressed to perform, stranding you during the worst possible time of year - when it is freezing cold.  And at Towing Cincinnati we have seen more and more battery problem here in the last few years than ever before.  We believe this is due to the sophisticated electronic systems most new vehicles now come equipped with.  

Battery problems are very common, and as we said, even more common during colder months.  However, one call to Towing Cincinnati and you will have your battery jumped enabling you to immediately get to your destination just a wee bit late.  Jumping a battery isn't difficult if you have a few tools and the property knowledge.  If you lack either of these ingredients, we suggest you call us ASAP to avoid any costly and/or dangerous mistakes.  Below is the proper technique for jumping your vehicle's battery.

Proper Way to Jump Start a Vehicle Battery

First, you will a good set of heavy duty jumper cables.  If you don't have these cables, perhaps a neighbor or someone near where you are parked has a set you can use (plus you will need another car with a strong battery to jump your dead one).  Put both vehicles in Park and turn off each car's ignition.  Be extra safe, the depress the parking brake of each car, just to be on the cautious side.  Attach the red clip of one end of the cable to the positive terminal (also marked in red) to the dead battery.  The positive terminal of your battery will be label POS or + in red.  Attach the other end of this cable with the corresponding red clip to the positive terminal of the car with the good battery.  Now, at this same vehicle (the one with the good battery) attached the cable with the black clip to its battery.  Attach the last black clip to an unfinished (unpainted) metal surface of the car with the bad battery (but not too near the battery itself).   To jumpstart the car with the bad battery, start the car with the good battery and let it run for a few minutes - revving the engine of this car will produce more voltage and potentially further speed up the process.  Just be careful not to over-rev the car.  After a few minutes try to start the car with the bad battery.   If it doesn't start, wait a few more minutes and try again.  If it still doesn't start, the battery may be too old and dead to be jumped started.  In this case, the only solution is the replace the dead battery.
