This theme is even for those in the automotive industry is not very clear, not for the reason there are no rules, but by the fact that sometimes get used to doing what we have to do it once without thinking that it is correct or not.

Use the battery cables to give a call back in a car that does not catch is not for scientists, however basic safety rules are follow-up required.

What this issue has to do with auto alarms?

It's simple, I received a mail because of an alarm burned after the car has run out of battery last week and watch the arrival of a car to the garage that had been with the battery descarregada.O it was a simple operation of connecting a booster cables and battery between two cars and replacing a battery, finished blown fuses, lights malfunction of the airbag, abs and other tales and finally lit a fire alarm panel.

In the case of mail I received not know the reason, but on the other (after reports of the episode) was then an exchange of cables in many sparks in one simple operation performed by those who had no idea how to use the battery cables.

That use battery cables

First of all I want to make clear that in my opinion battery cables to 15 € or something just by luck put a car to work, if a diesel car as much serve to warm hands in winter, with the consequent risk of overheat and catch fire.

Okay, perhaps they serve a small petrol car where the need for energy to put into operation is low, if you have one of these fine, if not ... ... ..

Conclusion:

If we really want to spend money in some battery cables that will let you rest, buy a few cables with 16mm, max + - 2 meters and a good grasp (note the pictures below). Those who have been made with power cords sound systems two claws and very strong, I think I got it in one hundred and euros.

How to connect the battery cables

1. Confirm that both vehicles are turned off.

2. Connect one end of the red wire (positive) to the positive terminal of the battery.

3. Then connect the other end of the red (positive) to the positive terminal of good battery (with charge).

4. Connect one end of the black (negative) to the negative terminal of good battery.

5. IMPORTANT-then plug the other end of the black (negative) point to a clean metal, no paint or signs of corrosion to the vehicle battery. The best place to do so is the engine of the vehicle. Never directly connect the negative terminal of the battery, thus preventing sparks causing a possible explosion.

6. Place the engine running the vehicle with the good battery and keep it a little Accelerated few minutes before trying to put the other operation.

7. Disconnect the cables in reverse order.

8. Keep your vehicle to work for a while in order to gain some battery charge.

This is the only way to use the battery cables in security and not to commit any other electronic component of your vehicle.

This is the procedure that usually use? As usually use the cables to a battery to back?
