Here's how it works:
* Connect the cables: You connect the jumper cables to the battery terminals of the dead car and a working car.
* Transfer power: The jumper cables transfer power from the working car's battery to the dead car's battery.
* Start the engine: Once the dead car's battery has enough charge, you can start the engine.
Beyond starting a dead battery, jumper cables can also be used for:
* Boosting a weak battery: If your battery is not completely dead but is struggling to start the car, jumper cables can provide a temporary boost.
* Charging a battery: You can use jumper cables to charge a dead battery from a working car, although it's not as efficient as a dedicated battery charger.
* Jump-starting other vehicles: You can use jumper cables to jump-start other vehicles, such as motorcycles, lawnmowers, and boats.
Important Note: Always follow the safety guidelines when using jumper cables. Incorrect use can cause damage to vehicles and personal injury.
