Charging a Battery with Jumper cables

[@saralynnzanini5118]

I'm embarrassed to say that at 48 years old I've never had to start my own car battery before like this. Thank you so much for this video it helped me sincerely

[@ericfreund3496]

Well done video. Explained quickly, but thoroughly. Plus good tips on length and gauge. 👍🏻

[@DriversEdZone]

Thanks! 👍

[@winzerwithaz]

If you connect the black then red on the flat battery vehicle first, make sure the alligator clamps aren’t touching at the other end or both touching the same same piece of metal. This will cause a short and possible damage. Red to red then black to black is better practice.

[@trainrick1]

Actually negative first. Because if positive first, its will ground to what it can. And if im wrong then it really doesnt matter.

[@monicalder3968]

Every other video and my jumper cable's instructions say to connect the positive terminals first.... ?

[@DriversEdZone]

you can connect either way

[@AqueousHexia]

@@DriversEdZone I thought you had to connect the black cable to ground/metal in the dead battery. Is that unnecessary?

[@joem4418]

I’m chillin in a gas station parking lot while my brother is taking an Uber to get his car and jumper cables thank you for this video.

Straight and cool, helpful! Thank you

you are welcome

[@VAcreeper]

Cool, huh? You dont get out much do you?

[@TheFlick175]

That guy sounds like he eats a bowl of finely ground gravel every day for breakfast.

[@DriversEdZone]

I can promise you he doesn't eat gravel but he does eat his Wheaties.

[@michellesteffy9619]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

[@KKLegal]

i dont think that charges the battery. it just sends current to the starter. the alternator charges the battery.

[@She_Tried_It]

This is not CHARGING a battery, this is JUMP STARTING A BATTERY that has a WEAK CHARGE. If the battery were totally dead and needed to be CHARGED, you connect it to another car or a powered charger for an extended period of time to CHARGE it and not just JUMP it. If you're gonna put these videos out - terms and language matter. Also, don't let the cables touch or just take them off and drop them.

[@freybentos2602]

Hey, mine is dead, this may be a silly question but does the other car need to be on?

[@user-ly9zz2rs1z]

​@@freybentos2602yes, as the alternator needs to charge the battery which requires the car to be on

[@glimon805]

Kara so pretty, man. 😍

[@evmendez]

Your video saved the day! Thank you!!!

[@DriversEdZone]

Glad it helped!

[@joshspeed7794]

Mandela effect strikes again! This is how I was taught to do it in my old timeline, now its changed.

[@mugashagoden.]

1st to like comment and share 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬👍👍

[@MrFirasath]

this is not charging the battery , this is jumpstarting the car using jumper cables and another car battery

[@josequabo8]

The wasn't helpful with what is advertised

[@MadeManifest111]

He said how to jump your car at the very beginning 😂

[@woodliftonecclesiastepaul5345]

Thank you

[@alchymista2]

this looks all wrong. check other resources instead.

[@that_random_dad]

If you attach the negative to the area of the body with paint there is a chance the paint will prevent the power from reaching the car in need of a charge. If there is a connection through a scratch in the paint, a spark could create a hold resulting in rust later on.

[@BIGMANLOLZZ]

You always connect red first.

[@rezagrans1296]

They didittheegzakt apuhzit wey that thuh ownerz' manyoowil spesifiyz! Haahhhaheeehhhh😆😮😶😅😆🤐

[@trainrick1]

Negative first. Positive first can be dangerous. I . E. Red first equals ready to go! Danger! Black first does not set up a situation where a wire is " hot"...

[@michaeltaylorhghghgsaved6114]

No... both negatives whould be connected first and the both positives.

[@dougl.6461]

He just said to connect the black first? Please explain your theory.

[@SinisterDNB]

As stated in charger and battery manual, you connect the black negative of charger first, then red. to remove, you do the opposite, red disconnected first then negative

[@uriielcontreras1279]

Kara I love you!

[@CarolynViger]

You didn't mention to make sure you don't let the cables touch each other. 😮

[@jennifermendoza9414]

Thank you for your help from one woman to another. We know about make up you know about this I sincerely thank you. Peace

[@DriversEdZone]

You're welcome! Glad we could help. Peace!

[@jennilynmae]

"We know about makeup". That's all you know?

[@anthony1881]

Generator huh?

[@JJ-xo7zv]

Yeah good call, the Alternator in ALL modern vehicles are what generates power 😄 there's so much wrong w/ this video is comical.

[@trippdaclown18]

It tells you in your owner's manual how to jump your vehicle

[@jeffelliott3439]

Ive heard both ways .hhahaha.but majority say but the red first cuz it wont do anything until grounded with black . So ya red always is on longest is theory im gonna remember

[@DriversEdZone]

to apply cables, RED FIRST ,THEN BLACK. to disconnect, REMOVE BLACK FIRST< THEN RED DO NOT LET THE ENDS OFV EITHER CABLE TO TOUCH ONE ANOTHER OR ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL completely off both batteries

[@RaulMarin501]

I don't think you "charged" the battery. 😜

[@timothy790110]

every other video and instruction its the opposite, connect red first, red charged (+) to red flat (+), then black charged(-) to chassi.

[@DriversEdZone]

RED first going ON, BLACK second, to REMOVE BLACK OFF FIRST< RED OFF LAST DO NOT LET EITHEREND TOUCH ANYTHINGN until both batteries are DISCONNECTED

[@JJ-xo7zv]

WRONG! 😳 Always connect positive 1st & find a different ground on the vehicle being jumped not the Neg terminal. SMH See @Al_Launier comment below...

[@trainrick1]

Nope!

[@allaunier8143]

King Dom is right!!!!! This video gives BAD ADVICE since you ALWAYS ATTACH THE RED BATTERY CABLE FIRST! Do not have the working vehicle running when attaching or disconnecting the batteries. A short from accidentally contacting the cables together, or elsewhere, could damage the electronics in the working vehicle! 1. Start by clamping one RED cable to the positive side of the battery that won't start. 2. Then attach the other RED clamp to the positive side of the working battery. 3. Then clamp one end of the BLACK cable to the negative side of the working battery. 4. Finally, attach the other BLACK clamp to a vehicle ground (a bare metal component in your vehicle's engine block, or a clean bolt, or a frame structure) of the vehicle with the dead battery - DO NOT connect it to the dead battery. 5. Once the batteries are connected, let the batteries sit for a short while (less than a minute) to let the power between the two batteries settle out. 6. Then start the vehicle with the good battery, let it rev up a bit, then start the vehicle with the dead battery. 7. While the charged vehicle is running turn off the charging vehicle. 8. Then disconnect the battery cables in reverse order. a. Remove the BLACK clamp from the ground of the charged vehicle. b. Remove the Back clamp from the charging vehicle. c. Remove the RED clamp from the charged vehicle. d. Remove the RED clamp from the charging vehicle. 9. Let the vehicle with the charged battery run for 10-15 minutes to get some charge back into the battery. 10. Go to a service outlet and have your battery tested. 11. Go buy a set of battery cables and leave them in the trunk of your car for possible future use.

[@francoamerican4632]

Thank you! While watching this video I thought I was experiencing early stage dementia because he was doing everything the exact opposite of the way that I was taught to do it. And he connected the negative of the jumper cables to the battery post on the car being charged which is dangerous because of the risk of a spark causing a fire or explosion.

[@that_random_dad]

Good advice. Also, if the alternator is not working (usually indicated with a battery icon on the dash), the battery will not charge but rather deplete as the systems use it for ignition, etc. If this is the case, once the car is running, get it to a safe place as soon as possible, shut it down and call a tow truck. It will not start again and it will only run for a short time (shorter if things like lights, wipers, fan, AC, radio, defrost is on).

[@Heeves-89]

Yeah that's exactly what I do red first then black

[@Heeves-89]

​@@that_random_dadI got my car serviced because it didn't pass the wof check 2200 it cost me to fix anyway I took my car in I remember my battery had a green light before it went in but had to leave it there for like 5 days and when I picked it back up I checked my car battery and now there's no green light when I start my car it doesn't show any warning on my car battery I've been driving it for 2 months now still no light

[@bonsummers2657]

Dead Red to donor Red, Black donor to Black dead on metal in engine block(not battery). To take off: dead Black to donor Black, donor red to dead red. Correct? Putting the cables on like a U, taking them off like a U in reverse order.

[@dutchmandalor8261]

I'm sure this guy means well... but this will only get a dead battery to blow up in your face! Always connect ground last... an electric circuit is always dead until it's grounded! Then remove any order you put them on... remove the ground and it kills the circuit! A dead battery produces hydrogen, therefore, it's a hydrogen... waiting for an ignition source! Put your cables on the dead battery first, then energized those cables with a good battery or charger on the other end! Do not energized cables with a charger or a good battery and then put those cables on a dead! Again, the dead battery is a hydrogen bomb, waiting for a spark! So don't put live current to those terminals first. Put the cables on the battery, positive first and then ground clamp. Then attach the other side of your cables to you power source. You'll live a lot longer!

[@bonsummers2657]

Question: Dead Red to donor Red, Black donor to Black dead?

[@bonsummers2657]

Re-write what you wrote so it's more clearly communicated. Thanks.

[@aldeaedvin5197]

why is a women in the video?

[@warmbreeze11]

This is absolutely wrong! Don't listen to this advice. It's Positive connection first. And you start with the running csr engine first. How wrong can you get this!

[@BeRae12]

I'd LMAO if this wasn't so dangerous. Seriously, someone needs to stop these idiots. This is literally backwards. Please people Google the correct way

[@SovietFrontier]

This has nothing to do with charging a battery..

[@jazzt1974]

do not follow these instructions......

[@jamesbutler6253]

WRONG!!! CONNECT RED FIRST POSITIVE FIRST.

[@danahammer-eden2628]

This is wrong! Connect red to red + on dead battery, then red + on good battery Then black neg. on good battery, then black neg on dead. This video should be taken down

[@bobhamilton7506]

Disliked. No one starts their car like that bud

[@aarono7026]

Actually i've done it tons of times. There may be a more technically correct way to do this, but it gets the job done. Am i a moron? Sure. But let's not act like this is horrible advice and sort of be a dick about it when you could constructively explain your better process. Hey, we're all ears, it's not rocket science, that;'s for sure, so i'm sure people would gladly accept your improved process. But explain it, my man!

[@PimpNamedDragonBalls]

Thank you so much. This worked like a charm

[@DriversEdZone]
