I have a TrekPower battery pack. In my experience, you should bring it back up to full charge at least once a month. I haven't used mine for several months and when I needed it to day, It only has a 25% charge. I'm at home, so its on the charger for a couple of hours. But don't throw it in the trunk and expect it to save your bacon out in the middle of nowhere, 6 months later. His recommended brand may last longer.
Thank you!! I could not find anything online or TH-cam videos to explain whether I had to shut off the car or not before removing the jumper cables. Finally!! Thank you again so much!
@@cadavherYeah me neither, I saw one video where it was like "whatever you do, don't put it on the x, the y, or the z" and I'm like bro I'm watching a video about how to charge a car battery, do you really think I know where those things are? 😅
Thanks so much for your video! I appreciate the clear, step by step instructions, super helpful for a newbie like me. Using your video, I was able to figure out where to connect the clamps, in what order, and felt much more confident about how to safely jump start with a battery kit.
This is the only video that I watched, that makes sense and answers all my questions about what do you do first etc. Thank you so very much! All the best to you 🤗
Excellent video and thank you, just wondering when using a jump starter or booster pack, some video says, connecting negative end to ground and some says negative end of the starter or pack connect to negative terminal of battery, which one is the standard or correct way, for a normal cable jumping, negative end goes to ground of vehicle with dead battery.
Thank you! Another lady was looking for help in the craft store parking lot. There were only women there, but we didn't have to go to hunt down a man to help us because of TH-cam. 🎉🎉🎉
When unhooking why didn’t u , unplug it from the battery pack first , then unhook positive , then negative , or no I should leave it plugged into the jumper , then pos I’ve then negative
I'm confused. Every single time in my entire life that I attach negative to a metal piece like a bracket, the engine block or the frame, nothing ever happens. No car or forklift has ever, in my 31 years, turned over that way. But negative cable to negative terminal? Works flawlessly every single time. Why is this? My battery died this morning so I tried it your way in the video and the lights came on, but when I started it, everything had a full blown seizure and freaked out. I did it my way, and it worked like a charm. - Car off - Lights and everything off - Charger off - Positive to positive - Negative to NEGATIVE and not to the frame or engine block or anything - Charger on - Car on Just did it that way and it's currently running. So what gives?
I just helped out someone in parking lot that needed a jump and I had my trusty jump pack with me. Similar issue to you... we connected black to a screw, no go. Then I moved black to another metal part of the chassis, again no go. Black on negative terminal and it fired right up. Instructions on the jump pack said black on engine ground... I suppose I'll do it their way twice and my way if it doesn't work by that point. I keep a Jump-N-Carry JNC660 in every vehicle. I got them after seeing that's what the tow truck driver pulled out when getting helped out years ago. Just remember to keep them charged :)
I have a dead battery now. Going to try it the way the video suggested just to see if I have a similar issue. I will come back to the comment and edit it to tell y'all my findings.
@@Jay2423M didn't work for me. I tried it on different metal pieces. I did it the traditional way and it worked perfect! Hey try this for your car. It never needs charging and will jump start your car in a few minutes and will last longer than a traditional battery charger. A did some research on it and a trusted source recommended it. People love this thing! Its called "Autowit Supercap 2"! It is a super capacitor! Check it out on TH-cam! I will buy one soon!
I might be wrong, but isnt jumping a battery pushing some serious amps, and therefor its pretty dangerous to ground it to "whatever", since not all wires are thick enough to handle that?
So what about a dead dead battery? No lights, nothing. How long do i leave the battery starter/cables connected? Do i need to turn the key to start position while its jumping?
If you didn't leave any lights on or the radio running (things that may take up all the energy from your battery) I'd recommend getting your battery checked out to make sure no cells are dead. Most battery shops will do this for free I believe. If your battery check is fine then it may be your alternator. If you left something on like Alex said just drive around and the alternator will re-energize your battery!
My Audew Epower 155 jumper USUALLY uses 2% to maybe 5% to jump my camry.... ..... but the last time I used it littorally less than an hour ago it was charged up to 38% and it took several attempts pressing the boost button in response to flashing green light to get my car to finally start and it drained the booster pack from 38% to 22% 🤨🤔 Is there an electrician thats can please explain? Or maybe I have a faulty unit?
@@raptureangel5409 it has a dualist gold under the hood..... it wasn't the battery's fault but actually my fault 🤷..... I left the key on with the stereo on for so long that the windows an locks almost didn't work at all.....
I just tried to start my car with similar car starter and nothing. Then with normal big battery and it worked. I quess if your battery is really dried you cant charge it with this little one. (I quess his battery wasnt drained becouse it took just 2% that is not normal)
Oddly enough i was doing this on a 2.0 fusion too. Those batteries from motorcraft are shit. And ig it was dead dead b/c my battery pack didnt work and i thought i was stupid and didnt connect the capacitor portion correct to the battery or had to wait to build up a charge.
But that won't help you if your car won't start due to corrosion on your terminals. You will need, a 10 MM wrench to take the connector off the battery and a wire brush to clean the terminals. In my case I couldn't even get the negative connector off after loosening the nut so I also needed many other tools such as a small crowbar to get the damn thing off.
I came back from a week long vacation and my truck battery got drained because it was parked in freezing weather. I had to pay a guy $100 to jump start my truck!
Just needed to check that I connect the cables in the correct order and your video is very concise and helpful. Thanks!

Short. To the point. Accurate. How does this only have 92,000 views and not 92 million views?! Great video!
Thanks for the video, now I don’t have to inconvenience my husband while he drinks beer and watches tv.
Maybe you should have paid attention the first time he showed you how to use it.
Get new husband that loves and appreciates you.

FINALLY someone who doesn't jusr slap it on the negative terminal. Respect
No kidding.👍
So we don't need to use the neg term? I'm not sure where to place the black one on my car other than the negative.
@@cadavherYeah me neither, I saw one video where it was like "whatever you do, don't put it on the x, the y, or the z" and I'm like bro I'm watching a video about how to charge a car battery, do you really think I know where those things are? 😅
Why does the negative terminal exist if you aren't supposed to put the black cable on it? What other purpose does the negative terminal serve?

Great concise video. My son gave me one of these jumper packs and wasn't sure how to use it, but Thanks to you, now I do. Great Video.
😂So concise that he never even showed us that his battery was really dead to begin with!
I would not know a grounded area. How do I know which area is grounded to attach the black clip. Please advise. Thank you for your video.
This is the only video that I watched, that makes sense and answers all my questions about what do you do first etc. Thank you so very much! All the best to you 🤗
It helps thanks much I was able to help my husband because he doesn’t know how to use it 😅. We followed your instructions and it work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
Thank you! Now I don’t have to cry to my dad to do it!!
Thank you for this! I bought one of these at my neighbour’s recommendation and it didn’t have any instructions. This helped a lot.
Thanks was panicking and this helped, my car is running now! Appreciate!
A very positive video with no negative comments😬
Very good directions! Battery trouble now, so needed it! Thank you so much!
Thanks I have one as a just in case we already used it to jumpstart but this video is quick and easy to follow
So is it always attach positive first then negative. And then to remove its negative first then positive?
Very clear and concise instructions. Thanks
Thank you have my battery repeatedly dieing due to cold weather. Who needs a man when you have you tube.
You needed a man on TH-cam, didn't you?
There are 1000s of 1000s videos and they are making extremely complicated even on Reddit once i watched your video and now I'm confident
Good to see that you were able to go ahead.
coming back to this video like an old friend... hello

will the car battery charge up just by leaving the portable battery connected? without starting the engine

Can it use during winter time ?
Thanks for the video, are these allowed to be taken on air flight?
Are they any good jump starting 3.0 litre diesels? (By the way how do we know your battery was actually dead?)
I visited the Amazon link, but I didn't see the display window on the device in the picture, the video offered for the project is useless.
I might be wrong, but isnt jumping a battery pushing some serious amps, and therefor its pretty dangerous to ground it to "whatever", since not all wires are thick enough to handle that?
Quick and easy to use, great video
Thanks for sharing! How do we maitanance that charger to keep it always full? Can we keep it in the car all the time?
Excellent demo! Thanks so much.
So I don’t have to turn off the power button first before I unplug the negative cable?
Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for the detailed tutorial
Excellent explanation thank you exactly what I needed.
So what about a dead dead battery? No lights, nothing. How long do i leave the battery starter/cables connected? Do i need to turn the key to start position while its jumping?
Best video. Thank you.
I have avapow 3000A I am trying to use it for the Kia soul 2013 will it work?
thanks for the video，very clear with details！
are their units available that will jump the car using the outlets in the dash?
If the car has no power, the outlets in the car wouldnt work.,
Thanks so much. I had given my battery cables away being discusted one day so I’m glad I watched this before purchasing another pair of cables. 😊
Does this work on any kind of battery? I’ve got a Varta 12v 80Ah battery?
Any 12V battery yes. However if the motor is very big, like a huge boat, it might not have enough power to spin the engine.
This is so simple thank you so much. So you can connet the negative to "any bolt" ? can you confirm
The negative of the battery is connected to the chassis of the car. So almost any metal surface is negative.
Can you clamp the negative to the negative part on the battery?
Absolutely. That's only way it works, for me.
Yes with portables like these you can
How long do you let the car run for?
I wouldn’t turn the car off for at least 10-15 mins
How long do I keep the car on so the battery can fully charge
4-8 hours at highway speeds.
😁 @@primal5435
Big thank you, very helpful, esp for a handless guy like me
How does one go about charging the jumper devise?
What should I do if my car honks at me whenever I try to connect the jumpers to the batt pack? My battery is completely dead.
I like your video and would like to get one of these but none of your links work for me. Can you provide me with the type of charger this is? Thanks
You can get one on Amazon if you search for “portable car jumper”
Thank you for an excellent video.
Hi, how do you recharge these battery packs??
It has a charger
Actually you should always connect - ve first and remove the - ve last.
Good upload never the less !
What is the name of the battery pack he is using in the video
Thanks man save my day,
Thanks
Very useful information ❤
I have a similar box but the light turns red and beeps. Looks like the light is on the error section for short. Any ideas what to do to fix this?
Its not connected in good spot
Gotta walk a couple blocks to O'Reilly and pick one up in the morning and start my car! New battery will be happening soon, I'm afraid.
I need to find how long do leave in plug in , lost book ??? Its Energizer
The links you post here dont work! They say: could not find that page!
very informative
Glad you liked it
Can I charge my laptop with this
Good video. Thank you 🙏
So helpful!
The other day I saw a maintenance guy at work use his for someone's car I never thought of getting my own
Saved me a blast.
After this you'd need to go get a new battery or to charge your battery somewhere right?
you could get about 2 car jumps from the battery before having to charge it
No, but you should drive your car around for 30 minutes
If you didn't leave any lights on or the radio running (things that may take up all the energy from your battery) I'd recommend getting your battery checked out to make sure no cells are dead. Most battery shops will do this for free I believe. If your battery check is fine then it may be your alternator.

Were do you get a battery pack U.K
short and precise
Thanks legend.
You can't leave it in your car. The jumper pack will eventually go dead too especially in cold Canadian winters.
Thank youuuuuu so much!
