One of the unpredictable parts of a car is the battery. The possibility of its failure at the most inopportune moment is large enough, so you need to be prepared for this. This problem can happen not only in severe frost, but also in hot summer. If the situation happened on the road, you can use a "cigarette lighter" - a device consisting of two thick copper wires with tongs at the end.
It is necessary
- - dielectric gloves;
- - "cigarette lighter";
- - "donor" car.
Instructions
Step 1
Before connecting the "cigarette lighter" wires, turn off the engine of the car from which you start. Then remove the terminals from its battery. Connect two batteries with wires, while you should first connect "plus" to "plus", and then - "minus" to "minus". The latter can be connected to any part of the engine. The main thing is to have good contact. Make sure that the cars do not come into contact with each other. In addition, use only a factory-made "cigarette lighter" with a wire of at least 16 mm2 and equipped with special tongs. Pay attention to their connection. Also use dielectric gloves when connecting.
Step 2
Start the donor car and let it run for 5-10 minutes. Turn off all lights, car radio and other equipment on both cars that are not directly involved in starting. Bring the engine speed of the donor car to 2000. Squeeze the clutch on the "lit" car and start it. In the event that the problem is precisely in the low battery, the car engine will start. Otherwise, when the car does not start after 15-20 seconds, the power supply and ignition system (spark plugs and ignition distributor) should be checked.
Step 3
After the car has started, check the internal devices (battery charging lamp or ammeter) for the battery charge. The lamp should go out, the ammeter should show a charge. Otherwise, turn off the engine, as you are discharging the donor car's battery. If everything is in order, then wait a few minutes, after which we disconnect the wires in the following order: first "minus", then "plus". Exercise caution when "lighting" injection vehicles or from them. This is because large voltage surges can damage the electronics of both vehicles.
