Jump Starts
Why might you need it? Imagine pulling into a corner store only to return and find that your battery is dead, requiring a jump start to get your car running again. Unfortunately, jumper cables are not typically included in the standard car tool package that is usually tucked away near the spare tire in the trunk of your vehicle. While some people may ask a friend or even a stranger for a jump start, it’s important to note that jumping a car can be risky if not done correctly. The process of jumping a vehicle has evolved over the past 10 years, and placing the jumper cables in the wrong spot could potentially damage the electrical system or even cause the battery to explode instead of jump-starting the car.
