When you are ready to go out in the morning, you turn the key and find that the car cannot start. It is likely that the battery is dead. This situation is very common. It is not necessarily that the battery is broken. It may just be that the battery is out of power due to long-term non-use, forgetting to turn off the lights, or low temperatures in winter.
Method 1: Use a car emergency starting power supply (recommended)
Jump Starter is a portable lithium battery device with a built-in large-capacity battery cell that can easily start a dead car battery.
The steps to use are very simple:
Connect the red clip to the positive pole (+) of the battery and the black clip to the negative pole (-)
Start the vehicle
After success, remove the starting power supply within 30 seconds
✔ Advantages:
No assistance from others, one person can operate
Can be used multiple times, convenient for business trips/camping
Now there are also multi-functional versions with lighting, air pumps, etc.
Method 2: Jump Start (requires another car)
Jump Start is a traditional method. You need to use a jumper wire to connect the battery of another car to provide you with power to start.
Simple steps:
Both cars are turned off → red wire connects to the positive poles of both cars, black wire connects to the negative pole of the rescue car and the metal part of your car
Start the rescue car and wait for 1-2 minutes
Start your car
After success, disconnect the jumper wire (black first, then red)
Method 3: Replace a new battery
If your battery has been used for more than 3 years, or the battery is often out of power, it is recommended to replace it with a new battery directly.
You can contact a 4S store or a nearby repair shop for on-site replacement
Some batteries are difficult to recover after the power drops, and frequent power loss can easily damage the vehicle computer board
Method 4: Call roadside assistance
If you don't have a jumper wire or an emergency power supply, it is best to call car insurance or roadside assistance.
