Regardless of what type of car you have, eventually you may need to jumpstart it. While jumping a car is fairly easy, it can be a bit dangerous if basic precautions are not taken.
如果某些电池问题导致您的汽车lose battery charge(a leaking battery for example), you should have itserviced或者replaced。The best advice is: if you are unsure in any way about what you are doing,call a pro因为您可能会严重损坏您的汽车以及您用于Jumpstart的其他车辆。
Everything you need to know about jumpstarting a car
您需要的工具
A pair of high quality cleanjumper cables。The clamps should be rust free.
A pair of splash-proof polycarbonatesafety gogglesrated for auto repair
Another vehicle that has a fully charged battery that is the same voltage as the car being jumped.
跳动汽车时的“做”
Read your owner's manual before attempting a jumpstart. Newer cars often have jumpstart lugs where the cables need to be attached, instead of directly to the电池端子。此外，一些制造商根本不允许跳动车辆，这样做可能会使保修无效。在某些车辆中，必须采取某些预防措施，例如卸下保险丝或打开除霜器。The owner’s manual should spell out any precautions that must be taken.
Verify the voltage of the battery in the vehicle doing the jumping. If they do not match, serious damage can occur to both vehicles.
将汽车停放足够近，以使电缆到达，但不应该碰到。
用良好的电池关闭汽车中的发动机。
拔下任何配件（例如手机充电器）；Jumpstart产生的动力电涌可以将它们缩短。
Both cars should be in park or neutral with the parking brake engaged.
Headlights, radios, and turn signals (including hazard lights) should be off in both vehicles.
Put on rubber gloves and safety goggles before starting the procedure.
The “Don’ts” when jumpstarting a car
Never lean over the battery of either car.
Do not smoke while jumpstarting a car.
Never jumpstart a battery if fluids are frozen. This could lead to an explosion.
如果电池破裂或泄漏，请不要跳动汽车。它可能导致爆炸。
The pre-check
The first thing you should do is locate the battery in both vehicles. In some cars the battery is not in an accessible spot in the engine compartment, which is where jump-start lugs come in to play. If this is the case, locate the lugs.
Once the battery or lugs have been located, examine each and make sure you know where the positive and negative terminals are on both batteries. The positive terminal will have a (+) sign along with red wires, or a red cover. The negative terminal will have a (-) sign and black wires or a black cover. The terminal covers may have to be moved to reach the actual terminal.
If the terminals are dirty or have corrosion, use the wire brush toclean them off。
Jumpstarting the car
In order to properly jump-start a car you will need to create a circuit that carries the current from the live battery over to the dead one. In order to do this successfully the cables should be connected in this exact order:
Connect one end of the red (positive) jumper cable to the red (+) positive post of the dead car battery.
Connect the other end of the red (positive) jumper cable to the red (+) positive post of the fully charged car battery.
Connect one end of the black (negative) jumper cable to the black (-) negative post of the fully charged car battery.
将黑色（负）跳线电缆的另一端连接到未上漆的死车的金属部分，远离电池，直到电缆到达电池。这将扎根电路并有助于防止火花。将其连接到死电池会带来电池爆炸的风险。
验证是否没有电缆触摸发动机启动时将移动的任何发动机零件。
最后一步
Technically, there are two ways to complete the jumpstarting of a car:
The Safest Way:Start the car with the fully charged battery and let it sit idling for roughly five to ten minutes to charge the dead battery. Turn off the engine remove the cables in the reverse order and be careful to not let the cables touch which can result in sparking. Attempt to start the engine of the car with the dead battery.
另一种方法：Start the car with the fully charged battery and let is sit idling for roughly five to ten minutes to charge the dead battery. Attempt to start the car with the dead battery without shutting off the fully charged car. If the car with the dead battery refuses to start, let it sit for a few more minutes. If the car with the dead battery still will not start, very carefully readjust the red (+) positive cable to the terminal in hopes of getting a better connection. Reattempt to jumpstart the car. If the vehicle starts, remove the cables in the reverse order they were put on, being careful not to let them touch.
Remember to thank the person who helped jumpstart your car!
The vehicle with the dead battery should be allowed to run for 30 minutes if possible. This will let the alternator fully charge the battery. If your battery continues to lose a charge, contact a certified mobile mechanic from YourMechanic to诊断问题。
