Capacity the current-giving battery should not be much less than that of a discharged battery.
Only cables with a sufficiently large diameter can be used as auxiliary cables section. Pay attention to the parameters given by the cable manufacturer.
Use auxiliary cables with insulated pole clamps.
positive cable - Usually red.
Negative cable - Usually black.
There should be no contact between cars. Otherwise, the circuit will close already when the positive terminals are connected.
There is a risk of chemical burns!
Do not lean over the battery while starting with the booster battery.
There is a risk of explosion!
Do not work with open flame, do not smoke, avoid sparking near the battery.
Starting with a booster battery is possible when the engine is cold and the catalytic converter is cold. However, repeated and lengthy starting attempts should be avoided.
It is not allowed to start the engine using a device for accelerated battery charging.
Charging the battery is discussed in Chapter Ongoing care and maintenance.
A discharged battery must be properly connected to the vehicle's electrical system.
Switch off your car phone if necessary. More detailed information in this case can be obtained from the user manual of the phone.
Connect the auxiliary cables in the correct order!
Connecting the positive terminals with a positive cable (red)
1. Attach one end of the cable to the positive terminal (1) discharged battery (A)
2. The other end of the cable is connected to the positive terminal (2) current-carrying battery (IN).
Starting the engine from the battery of another car
- A - Discharged battery
- B - current-carrying battery
Connecting the negative terminals with a negative cable (black)
1. Attach one end of the cable to the negative terminal (3) current-carrying battery (IN).
2. The other end of the cable is connected to the negative terminal (4) discharged battery (A).
Engine starting
1. Start the engine of the current generating vehicle. The engine remains idling.
2. Start the car engine with the dead battery.
3. If the engine does not start, stop trying to start after 10 seconds and repeat the starting process after 30 seconds.
4. When the engine starts, disconnect both cables in exactly the reverse order.
Your vehicle's battery is equipped with an external ventilation system. The gas formed in the battery is thereby removed from the vehicle. Ensure sufficient metallic contact of the connected pole clamps.
This sequence of connecting the auxiliary cables is used to start your vehicle. If your battery is being used to start another vehicle, the negative cable (-) connects not to the negative terminal of a discharged battery (4), but with a massive, firmly screwed to the engine block, a part or the block itself. In the absence of ventilation of a discharged battery, explosive oxyhydrogen gas accumulates.
