Boosting your dead car battery when it has died on you is one issue that you may encounter once in a while. However, this may find you unawares because you may not have jumper cables and a running vehicle to bail you out. However, all hope is not lost. You can handle a dead battery without jumper cables. This article shows you how to start a car with a dead battery without jumper cables;
Jump starting a Manual Car without Jumper Cables
To handle this scenario, you have to place your vehicle in
an elevated terrain. This incline will be useful when the vehicle needs to move
and get the needed momentum to start it.
Furthermore, if the terrain is flat, you will need a helping
hand to push the vehicle. This extra force will assist you to get enough
momentum.
When the car is getting pushed, turn on the ignition and
switch the vehicle to the second gear. Wait for the vehicle to build some
momentum then release the clutch quickly. If it doesn’t start, press the clutch
over and over again.
Jump starting an Automatic Vehicle without Cables
The push and start method that is used with the manual car
can’t work with an automatic one. Automatic vehicles are hard to jump start
without cables. Due to this reason the only way you can jumpstart them is to
use a portable
battery charger.
If you are an automatic driver, always have a portable
battery charger among your roadside emergency toolkit.
In case your battery dies and you have this portable battery
charger just plug it in the cigarette lighter and wait for about 20 minutes.
However, get to the nearest specialist after your car starts. The issue may be
much worse that you may assume.
The two methods can save you in case of a roadside emergency. Always be alert and know the specific methods for each vehicle.
