During the lockdown period you may have experienced a flat battery when you wanted to pop out for groceries. A car that stands idle for a lengthy period can result in the battery losing its charge. This battery is not necessarily ‘dead’, but merely ‘flat’. As long as you have access to a second car and a pair of jumper leads, it’s quick and easy to get going again.
To begin, park both vehicles close enough for the jumper cables to reach between each of the cars’ batteries. Ensure the following:
Jumper cables consist of a red and a black cable. There are two clips on each. The red lead must be connected to the Positive terminal and black lead to the Negative terminal.
Watch the 2-minute demonstration to see how easy it is to jump start a car with jumper cables:
