General Description

If a vehicle cannot start due to excessive 12V battery discharge, it can be started using another vehicle's 12V battery and jump-starting. Note the following:

  • Ensure the supplying battery has a rated voltage of 12V and its capacity (Ah) is not less than that of the faulty vehicle's battery.
  • Clamps on jumper cables must be insulated.
CAUTION

Before starting battery operation, it is essential to carefully read and follow the safety warning instructions related to battery operation.

WARNING
  • There may be explosive hydrogen gas near the 12V battery. Batteries must be kept away from sparks and fire.
  • Do not allow the vehicles to touch during jump-starting. If the positive terminals of both batteries are connected, current will flow immediately, creating a hazardous situation.
Avoid Static Electricity

When charging or jump starting the battery, highly flammable mixed gases are generated. It is important to ensure that neither you nor the battery accumulates static electricity. For example, the following can cause static electricity to accumulate:

  • Wear synthetic fibre clothing.
  • Friction between clothes and seats.
  • Pull or push the battery over a carpet or other synthetic material.
  • Wipe the battery with a cloth.
General Description

If there is a "+" sign around the battery terminal, it is the positive pole of the battery, and if there is a "-" sign around the terminal, it is the negative pole of the battery.
