Battery Jump Start
Battery Jump Start

jump start, also called a booster, is a procedure of starting a motor vehicle (most commonly cars or trucks that has a discharged or depleted battery. A temporary connection is made to the battery of another vehicle, or to some other external power source. The external supply of electricity recharges the disabled vehicle’s battery and provides some of the power needed to crank the engine. Once the vehicle has been started, its normal charging system will recharge, so the auxiliary batter power source can be removed. If the vehicle charging system is functional, leaving the engine running for about 10-20 minutes will restore the charge of the battery.
