How to charge the car battery

One day we can get ready to start our car and not start. One of the main causes is usually that the battery has been discharged . It may be the case that we are in a hurry to go to work or for whatever reason we prefer to turn it on ourselves so as not to have to call a crane or a mechanic. From .com we will see some simple ways of how to recharge the car's battery .

You will need to:
  • A car with the battery discharged and another with the charged battery
  • A set of cables with clamps
Steps to follow:

First, we must emphasize that there is an apparatus that charges the battery. Another option would be if the car had some energy, with the collaboration of several people pushing could start it and after 20 minutes circulating and the battery would be charged.

But we are going to see the case in which we need the energy of another car to start ours. For this we will only need two cars whose batteries have a similar amperage and a set of cables with clips .

Once we have the necessary elements and with the cars turned off, we will place the clips of the red wires on the positive terminals of each battery.

Then, we fix one of the clips of the black cable in the negative terminal of the battery that is charged and put the other clip of the same color in the negative pole of our battery discharged. Experts think that it is safer that the clamp that would have to go in the negative terminal of the discharged battery is better placed in a metallic part of the chassis or the frame to avoid sparks.

When the two batteries are properly connected, we start the car that has the battery well, accelerate a bit and leave it running for a while, so that the accumulator is full of energy. In this way, we will avoid that this one has to make an overstrain when we try to start the engine of the unloaded car.

After a few minutes we turned off the car of the charged battery and immediately tried to start the car that had the battery discharged . If we get the engine to start well from the first attempts, then remove the clips of this car in the reverse order as they were placed and taking care that none of these touch each other or touch any metal part of the car. And it only remains to leave the car on for about 20 minutes or try to circulate so that the battery is charged normally.

Tips
  • Be careful with the liquid in the batteries because it is very corrosive and also be careful with the areas where the tweezers touch.
