UNSURE OF HOW TO JUMPSTART YOUR VEHICLE?
WORRIED THAT YOUR CAR BATTERY MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM? WE AT BATERIKU.COM WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOME USEFUL TIPS FOR YOU!
JUMPER CABLES
Unfortunately, nowadays, manufacturers tend to leave out this helpful tool from modern vehicles. But worry not! because this tool is available for purchase at any hardware or Mr. D.I.Y store around the country for as low as RM17.
But if you're unsure if your vehicle already has it, you can check it right under the designated terminal under the hood. If it’s there, then you got the first step covered.
You must also know that there is different gauge of cables available, the heavier duty clamps will provide a more durable and better connection compared to the lesser ones. So, remember to choose wisely when you're getting one.
But before you start, you will need a running car to help charge up your dead battery temporarily. So, remember to ensure that it's parked close to your vehicle.
MAKING THE JUMP
Always remember to handle your cables properly. Avoid the red and black clamps from touching. Before opening the hood, ensure that all the essential tools are ready for your next step. Also identify where your battery is located specifically before proceeding.
The cables will have a small indication of (+) and (-) on it. Ensure that you know which is the right polarity before moving on to the next step.
After you've determined it, connect the red clamp to the positive post and the black to the negative terminal. Well, you're halfway through the process if you got this right.
POWERING UP YOUR VEHICLE
After connecting to both your car and the other running vehicle, start off by igniting you car's engine first. If it manages to start then the you may have done all the process correctly.
Remember to keep your car running whilst disconnecting the cables and drive immediately to the nearest workshop.
If the steps above did not work, its either you missed one of the steps or you're having a bad starter issue.
