Low Battery and not be able to get your car engine? As the solution while, often used techniques jumper (jump start).  The term simply, action is carried out to to transport power from other cell to cell car that have low battery and used to get your machine. Channel named Jump Start.

However, to do it could not recklessly. Many people connect the origin of the low car battery with another car battery without technique. "If one treats, the result can be shorted out or even explode," said Alas Pangajom, Service Manager PT Mazda Motor Indonesia (MMI), the KompasOtomotif, (13/02/2014).

1. Make sure that battery that will be used as battery booster (source) voltage 12V.

2. If battery booster is using other vehicles, make sure both do not touch each other the car. Turn off all electricity load in the vehicle booster (lamps, audio, etc) and turn off engine cars.

3. Connect jumper cable with the sequence as follows
- Connect one of the cables first to the terminal positive batteries that have low battery (1).
- Connect the other terminal to positive in battery booster (2).
- Connect one of the cables both to the terminal a negative effect on battery booster (3).
- Connect the cable that other components to metal, solid, and open (for example, the front bolts platform machine) far from the battery that ha ve low battery(4).
At the time connecting process, have earned cables out of touch with metal or electrical conductor, because it would give wasting electricity.

4. Turn the machine on which the vehicle is used as a battery booster and let some time. Increase the throttle pedal, and hold above 1,000 rpm. Then turn on the vehicle which have low battery

5. After the engine turn on, disconnect the jumper cables carefully to the reverse order of the way mounting (4 - 3 - 2 - 1)

Warning:
1. Do not let the battery positive terminal is connected to the iron metal objects. This will cause sparks. The problem, sparks near the cell battery is very dangerous. Hydrogen gas generated during normal working battery can cause an explosion and severe burns. When working near the battery, not to the working tool made ​​of metal connected to the positive and negative terminals.

2. Keep all flames, including cigarettes and sparks from an open cell battery.

3. Do not jumpered with frozen batteries or batteries with a liquid very low. "It's too dangerous, potentially explosive and result in serious injury," said Alas.

4. Connect the negative cable to a good ground point and away from the battery.

5. Keep jumper cables from moving components (eg: V-belt, fan motors, etc.).
