How to Jump Start a Car with a Dead Battery

Knowing how to jump a car battery is a basic skill that every driver needs.
Like fixing a flat, jumping your car isn’t something that’s done regularly and never at a convenient time. With some knowledge and by following a few simple steps, it doesn’t take long to jump-start a car. You can be back on the road in a matter of minutes.
Jump-starting a car requires jumper cables, also known as booster cables, to connect the dead battery in your car to a fully charged battery in another vehicle. It’s a great idea to keep a good set of cables along with other roadside emergency equipment in the trunk of your car.

What happens if you attach both negative clamps to the batteries as opposed to one on an unpainted metal part?

We've learnt this from watching so much Hammond Clarkson and May

If you leave both cars on, you can mess up the alternator.

As opposed to jumpstarting a car with a perfectly good battery?

[@tipit0086]

Jump starting a car with a partially dead or weak battery is very different from one with a completely dead battery
He talks about it in the video
