Before You Start — Important Checks
- Is the battery actually flat, or is it a starter motor fault?
- Is either car a hybrid? Never jump start high-voltage hybrid terminals
- Is the battery cracked, leaking, or bulging? Do not proceed — it can explode
- Does either car have an AGM battery? Jump leads are riskier for these — use a dedicated jump pack instead
Safe Jump Lead Sequence
- Red lead: dead battery positive (+) terminal
- Red lead other end: donor battery positive (+)
- Black lead: donor battery negative (-)
- Black lead other end: unpainted engine metal on dead car — NOT the dead battery negative
- Start donor car, run for 2–3 minutes
- Start dead car
- Remove leads in reverse order
- Keep revived car running for 30+ minutes
Why Professional Jump Starting Is Safer for Modern Cars
Cars built after 2015 have dozens of modules that voltage spikes can damage. Professional lithium jump packs deliver controlled, regulated current with no spike risk. If your car is less than 10 years old, a professional jump start is worth calling for.
