Introduction |
Jump starting is a way to start a car with a dead battery by using another vehicle's battery to provide power. This is done by connecting the dead battery to the other vehicle's battery using jumper cables. The other vehicle's battery provides power to the dead battery, allowing the car to start. | | [br] | | | == Jump starting electric cars == | Electric vehicles are also equipped with a 12-volt starter battery to activate the high-voltage system. Empty or defective starter batteries are therefore also possible in this vehicle category. The jump start basically works the same as with any petrol or diesel engine. | | Jump starting is usuallygenerally allowed for electric cars, but using them to jump start another car is usually not permitted by the manufacturer. Electric vehicles are normally equipped with smaller starter batteries. For this reason, in the worst case, an electric car that provides power for a jump start could damage the donor battery or the on-board electrical systems. | | [br] | | | == Warning == | ***It is important to follow the proper procedure when jump starting a car to avoid damaging the vehicles or causing harm to yourself.*** |
