I just watched this video on my phone while sitting in a car with a dead battery, in a shopping centef parking lot, with 2 sets of jumper cables. Both the video AND the comments were extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, Truck didn’t start this morning and I had to Uber which was $60 there and back. Glad I can do this now! An apartment complex is a bad place to have a dead battery.
I was wondering if this would work since I drove my car straight into my garage and the temperature dropped in the teens overnight! Was wondering what if I needed a jump !! This was the perfect site to come to ! Thank you very much !!! Thanks for all the helpful tips, also !! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY !!
thx pal saved me alot of trouble, got my car stuck dead in my garage and couldnt reach with one cable to my mom car but thx to you i learned you could connect cables thx g subbed!
QUICK QUESTION: Instead of a secondary working car, I have a 12V Portable Jump Starter. However, the jumper cables that connect to this Portable Jump Starter are too short. Do you think that it'll work if I connect regular jumper cables to my dead cat battery and then the opposite end of the cables, connect them to the short jumper cables that are connected to the 12V Portable Jump Starter?
You know people comments about what they like or don’t but you my friend u saved my Fn Ass from Mom Bro I had her brand new truck and let the battery die waiting for my GF to get off work(footlocker) I wouldn’t have made it home Bro without you I’m serious I’m from Chicago man and leaving a car alone on road is a NoGo.I love you Bro really do I would’ve been shitbagged for months.Got some tail got my moms truck running in 10 minutes Chevy Malibu charged the truck I did exactly what you did bro I almost shit bricks when it worked for me.Thank You my friend wherever you are who em ever you are much love and respect to you✌🏾
Thanks man. Was sitting in my house with a dead battery and wondering if I could do this. Then i realized i have a trickle charger in the garage. But good to k ow for the future. 👍
One of your jumper cables clips have no plastic over the crocodile clips, what if both jump cables had plastic around the clips. Would it burn or melt where the clip attaches to the plastic on the top.
always connect with positive to positive first, start with good car then bad car...wait 4-5 mins while charging....then remove negative then positive... never connect bad battery negative connector directly to battery, connect it to a piece of metal on engine or frame
@@mikemacheese7174 the black cable on the dead car should be connected to a piece of metal on the engine block, connecting it to the battery can cause damage to the battery
I like video but I would always make all dead connections first then to live car with ground for safety that way if ground or short goes to car with ground and rubber tires not human.....
this is late but yes, as long as you connect everything properly. should connect the black cable on the dead car to the engine block instead of the battery terminal, but otherwise everything here is how it should be done. just keep the cables separated, never let black and red touch
8years later this video helped me today. Thank you!

Have you tried this and does it work?

Just a small bit of advice you should always connect positive first . Red first then black second, then reverse when disconnecting
Thanks a ton for that info man ❤
Today this helped me
Would this also work by connecting a jump cable onto the clamps of a booster pack cable as those are really short on a Lidl only one i just bought.
Bless you for this brother

Thanks just saved us some time!
That was a good video.
safer method would be connect the two jump cables before you connect them to a battery.
Thank you!
Using this because the cable tongs or whatever is too big for my Prius . But the cables work.
Thanks for this
Thank you!!
So you can Daisy chain jumper cables
always connect with positive to positive first, start with good car then bad car...wait 4-5 mins while charging....then remove negative then positive... never connect bad battery negative connector directly to battery, connect it to a piece of metal on engine or frame
Why?
@@VareaIII connecting wire directly to negative terminal on dead battery can spark and ignite the battery acid surrounding the terminals
Why the black one got to be negative
Brilliant!
Again it should be positive to positive and negative to engine block NOT pos. to pos. and Neg. to Neg.
What?

@@lexistential good to know. Thanks.

Thank you this was very helpful and informative 👍👍
Thank you
Disconnects negative cable from postive terminal. "See i just made a mistake. That could have been a real problem."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ya think?!???!!??? 😂😂😂😂
Is this safe?
this is late but yes, as long as you connect everything properly. should connect the black cable on the dead car to the engine block instead of the battery terminal, but otherwise everything here is how it should be done. just keep the cables separated, never let black and red touch
@@lexistentialit can create a hot spot and could have a fire
