How to light a car from another carHome » Autolife » How to light a car correctly - recommendations

Probably, in the practice of every second domestic car enthusiast, a situation has arisen when the battery suddenly runs out.

And as usual, this happens at the most inopportune moment, when you need to drive urgently, but the car won’t start. What to do in such a situation? Naturally, you can call a tow truck or, leaving the car, go on business by public transport.

But this will not change the situation - sooner or later we will have to return to this problem. The best solution is to try to start the car from a different power source, like lighting it.

This is not very difficult to do - the main thing you need to do is follow the basic rules for carrying out this operation. This article will describe in detail how to properly light a car.

Where to start

  1. The first thing you need to do is match the cars to each other. If this happened not in the yard, but on a busy highway, then it is necessary to put up a warning triangle. And if it’s dark outside, it’s better to wear a reflective vest (unless, of course, you take it with you).

    Cars must be placed so that this distance is enough for the crocodile wires, and so that they can freely reach from one battery to another and be able to light a cigarette. One important point must be taken into account here. Make sure that the cars do not touch. Otherwise, when you light a cigarette, undesirable consequences may occur.

  2. Keep the car doors closed and don't forget to put the keys in your pocket. Since when lighting a car, voltage surges are possible. Therefore, at such moments the alarm may go off and the doors will be locked.

  3. It is highly undesirable to use ordinary wires for home use to light a cigarette. The cross-section of such wires will be insufficient. Therefore, when transferring the required charge, they can quickly burn out. For such an operation, it would be correct to use special wires to start the car.

    Among car enthusiasts they are known as "crocodiles" (due to the shape of the contacts). They are made of thick copper wire and hidden behind special insulation. Therefore, such wires can be used even in severe frost. Of course this is ideal.

    The right thing to do is to check the wires for cracks in the insulating material before lighting the car. If they are, then such wiring CANNOT be used under any circumstances!

  4. If the length of the wires is not enough to light a cigarette, then they can be extended using another such kit.

    The contacts must not touch anything. And especially with each other! This is very dangerous, so it is better to insulate them or make sure that two different wires do not touch. If you do not take care of this, the wires may short out, and this, in turn, will lead to expensive repairs.

There are two ways to light a car

The first way to light a cigarette

It can be used if it is not very cold outside and there is still some charge left in the battery - you can turn on the light in the cabin (but it is dim), and the starter turns, but very weakly. This method is completely safe for the machine from which the cigarette is lit.

You must proceed as follows:

  1. Turn off the engine of the car. The battery terminals must be removed. Don’t be upset - in a few minutes, nothing will happen to the car without a battery.
  2. Connect the red wire (+) to the battery terminal, and then the same wire to the battery of the car you want to light.
  3. Connect the black wire (-) to the removed battery. Next, be careful! You cannot connect the negative wire to the negative terminal of a car standing nearby!!! First, this is not true. The second is dangerous. In an attempt to light a cigarette, the battery may run out of charge and then you will have to light a cigarette. Or, if the battery is in a faulty state, then hydrogen will hover above it, and when it mixes with oxygen, a flammable mixture appears, which is very explosive. A small spark is enough (and it will definitely appear when you connect all the contacts) for the battery to explode. Therefore, the negative wire must be secured to any unpainted metal surface of the car body. And place them correctly - as far as possible from the battery. In most cases, it is better to use “ground” for this - the place where the negative wire from the battery is connected. There is a metal plate there, which is screwed on with a bolt. The bolt is not painted - so connect the negative wire to it. If you have doubts, you can find a convenient place on the cylinder block. But make sure that the wire does not touch any moving parts: belt or fan.
  4. Wait a little. Without removing the terminals from the car whose battery has “died”, try to start it. If the first attempt was unsuccessful, you need to wait a little longer. Do not try to start the car more than 2-3 times in a row. If this fails, then the problem is most likely not with the battery.
  5. If the engine starts, do not immediately disconnect the terminals. Let the engine come into operating mode and warm up. The terminals can only be removed after 3-5 minutes of engine operation. This must be done in reverse order. The next point should not be forgotten. In a car, when you disconnect the terminals, voltage drops may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to turn on all permissible energy consumers. Don't worry about your battery running out. If your car's generator is in good condition, then everything will be fine. But it is better to turn off the exterior and interior lighting, otherwise for the same reason it may simply burn out.

The second way to light a cigarette

The situation is much worse than with the first option. The interior lighting does not light up at all, the starter practically does not crank the crankshaft. It would be correct if in such a situation you try to start the car from a tow, but if this is not possible or the conditions are unsuitable for this, you need to light it from another car, but in a slightly different way.

  1. Turn off the engine. Disconnect the terminals from the battery.
  2. Connect the red (+) wire to the positive terminal of the battery, and then the other end of the same wire to the positive terminal of the battery of the car you are trying to start.
  3. Remove the negative terminals from both batteries. Connect the black wire with one end to the negative terminal of your car's battery, and the other end to the negative terminal of the second car. In this case, all the energy from your battery will be directly sent to the starter of the car that needs to be started.

4. There is no need to wait - when using this method, everything will depend only on your battery. And the battery of another car does not participate in this process at all.

  1. Without disconnecting the terminals, try to start the engine. If the first attempt was not successful, wait a little and try to start again. You don't have to turn the starter for a long time. If the car does not start, then the problem is not with the battery.
  2. But if the engine starts, do not immediately disconnect the terminals. Let the engine run for a while and warm up. After 5 minutes of operation, the terminals can be removed. This must be done in reverse order. IMPORTANT!!! Only after you have disconnected all the contacts can you put the negative terminal on the battery of the car that you have so successfully started. Do not forget that voltage drops may occur when the terminals are disconnected. Therefore, turn on all possible consumers that are in your car. But the lighting, on the contrary, must be turned off. They may burn out due to power surges.

And in conclusion…

Whether to light someone else's car or not is a matter for each motorist to decide individually. Don't forget that you too may find yourself in a similar situation. If you think about it, there is nothing complicated in the process of lighting a cigarette.

You just need to follow some rules described above and do everything correctly. And don’t forget - after you start your car, figure out why your battery died so unexpectedly.

Maybe you forgot to turn off the outside lights or maybe your alarm system is getting stuck somewhere and sucking up all the energy. This needs to be fixed. But it would be correct if you purchase a charger, remove the battery and charge it at home.

Then, if all of its “banks” are in good condition, then it will restore its capacity. Otherwise, the next morning you may again find yourself in a similar situation.

Good luck on the roads!!!

How to properly light a car from another car

Hi all! Andrey Kulpanov is in touch with you again on the pages of this blog, which is aimed at all those who cannot imagine their life without a car. Unfortunately, our four-wheeled assistants do not always serve without fail.

Who doesn’t know the situation when you go out to pick up your car and it suddenly won’t start? Of course, we are not talking about more serious breakdowns, but a discharged battery should not serve as an obstacle to an important trip. The easiest way is to find a neighbor in the yard whose car has started and ask him to help.

However, you need to know how to properly light a car from another car.

   Why do they refuse help?

The situation, it would seem, is not at all uncommon, but it is not always possible to find someone willing to “give me a light,” and one can understand them. The standard equipment does not provide for the fact that you will constantly start other people's cars. In the Soviet era, cars were much simpler from an electrical point of view.

Today, many vehicles are literally crammed with various devices. When starting from someone else's battery (donor), voltage surges may occur that are detrimental to the electronics. For this reason, drivers often let people light a cigarette, but before doing so, they disconnect the on-board terminal that powers the electrical equipment in someone else's car.

   Algorithm of actions for starting someone else's car from the battery

The instruction for recharging a car from another vehicle provides approximately the following sequence of actions, which I recommend everyone to adopt:

  1. We take one starting cable and connect it to the positive terminal of the donor battery with one end, and the other with the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
  2. We connect the negative terminal of someone else's car using a cable with the negative terminal of the car that does not want to start. Another option is to apply power to metal, for example, to the cylinder head, thereby providing a reliable “minus”.
  3. Now you need to make sure that the cables lie flat and do not touch other parts.
  4. We start the engine of the donor car, and after that we try to start ours.
  5. If the circuit works, then we disconnect the wires in a certain sequence: first the minus from your car, then from someone else’s. We discard the “positive” cable in the same way.
  6. You shouldn’t turn off the engine right away, but rather let it run so that it reaches a stable speed.

Another point concerns the quality of the cables. The possibility of starting will depend on the wires, and therefore it is best to purchase products with a thick cross-section.

Unfortunately, what you can find on the markets are Chinese cables that have thick insulation, but a very thin metal core inside. They simply may not withstand the current.

In this case, it is advised to wait 20–30 minutes so that the charges of both batteries are slightly equalized, and only then try to start the power unit.

Here are a couple more practical recommendations for novice drivers. Firstly, it is desirable that both batteries (donor and discharged) have approximately the same nominal voltage.

A completely undesirable situation is when your car, which does not want to start, has a battery capacity that is more than 15% higher than the capacity of the donor battery.

And yet, it is best not to turn off the running engine until it reaches its destination, where it can be fully charged using chargers.

   How and why it is important to care for your battery

And to avoid getting into trouble, you should regularly inspect your battery and care for it properly.

Alas, few drivers can boast of this, which they quickly regret as soon as stable frosty weather sets in outside the window.

When I talk about maintenance, I first of all mean monitoring the condition of the terminals, cleaning them from oxidation and dirt. Also, few people check the tightness of the clamps, which can lead to starting problems if the tightness is not enough.

As for operating a car in the winter, you need to understand that in order to restore the battery charge in a car, you have to drive longer distances to ensure its performance.

During the winter months, additional current consumers operate, such as stoves, glass heaters, heated steering wheels and seats, which successfully waste this very charge. Therefore, in order not to take the situation to extremes, it is important to know how to care for your battery and do it, if possible, regularly.

It will also be useful for any driver to know whether the battery is charged if the engine is idling.

For those who still have questions, I advise you to watch a video on this topic, there are many of them on the Internet. Our discussion is over for today. If you found this material useful, recommend my blog to your friends and acquaintances. Don't forget to read the next issues - there will be a lot of interesting things. Safe driving and good roads!

Lighting a car without compromising its “health”

In modern domestic cars, batteries last 2-5 years; in foreign cars, the battery life is 5-7 years. If you use the battery correctly, it will last longer. Both domestic and imported batteries can discharge.

If one winter morning the car does not start, then each driver solves this problem in his own way. Someone is trying to restore the battery's charge by bringing it into a warm room.

Some people start the car using a pushrod, but this is only possible with a manual transmission.

Car enthusiasts have a question about what is the safest way for all cars to start the engine if the battery is dead.

There are 6 ways to start a car if the battery is dead:

  1. Starting using special equipment - a starter-charger is the safest and easiest way. To start the car, the device is connected to the electrical network; the mode switch must be set to the “start” position. The positive wire from the ROM is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, the negative wire clings to ground to the metal of the engine near the starter. As soon as the car starts after turning the ignition key, the ROM can be turned off. The only drawback of the method is that you need to have a ROM. Charging using ROM
  • The battery can be recharged with higher voltage. This makes it possible to reliably start the car, but damages the battery and shortens its service life. To recharge the battery, you do not need to remove it from the car. If the car is equipped with an on-board computer, then in order to prevent the electronics from “flying”, you need to remove the negative terminal from the battery. The current can be increased to a value not exceeding 30% of standard values. The electrolyte level should be normal. The filler plugs need to be opened. Charging takes 20-30 minutes, after which you can start the car.
  • You can start the engine by towing or pushing. This method is only suitable for cars with a manual transmission and preferably with a carburetor. For this method, you need to prepare a cable 4-6 meters long and a vehicle that will be towed. The machines are connected by a cable. The vehicle being towed must have the clutch in third gear. Cars accelerate to 10-15 km/h. After reaching the desired speed with a towed car, you need to smoothly release the clutch. If the car starts, you can remove the cable. With this method, it is important that the actions of the drivers are coordinated, otherwise the cars may be damaged. Starting the engine by towing

    The pusher may be people, but care must be taken to prevent people from being injured.

  • Using lithium batteries. The attitude towards this method is ambiguous. To implement it, you can use any modern gadgets with lithium batteries. You can connect them either directly to the battery or through the cigarette lighter in the cabin. Recharging lasts 20-30 minutes. This method is suitable for all types of cars.
  • Using a “crooked starter”. To implement this method, you need to prepare a jack and a thick rope 5-6 meters long or slings. Using a jack, lift one of the drive wheels and wrap the entire rope around it. Then turn on the ignition and direct transmission. The end of the rope must be pulled sharply in order to spin the wheel well (author of the video Power-Bank.ru).
  •  With the help of a donor car. The method is suitable for cars with manual transmission and automatic transmission, while the engine can be either carburetor or injection. This method will be discussed in detail below.
  • The choice of method depends on the conditions in which the driver is located and on the technical equipment of the car.

    External signs of a dead battery

    The reason for battery discharge is a lack of power from the car's electrical network.

    This may be due to the following reasons:

    • a short circuit occurs at the battery terminals due to contamination;
    • partial closure of the plates, due to which, most often, the battery will die in winter;
    • The electrodes become sulfonated, causing galvanic corrosion of the plates, resulting in a stray current.

    Signs of a low battery:

    1. The battery charging indicator on the dashboard does not light up after turning on the ignition. The cause may be a burnt out light bulb, which should be replaced. If after replacement it does not light up, it means the battery is discharged.
    2. When the ignition is turned on, the indicator on the battery does not work, this is a sign that the battery is not receiving enough voltage from the generator. The battery indicator can light up in one of three colors: white (insufficient amount of electrolyte), green (battery is charged) and black (urgent charging is required). The green color of the indicator is a sign that the battery is working properly.
    3. The starter operates slowly with characteristic clicks after turning the key in the ignition.
    4. The instrument lighting on the panel is dim or absent altogether.
    5. Weak glow or absence of lamps after stopping the car.
    6. Reduced horn volume.
    7. Clicking and crackling sounds are heard in the engine compartment.
    8. The alarm fails or is triggered falsely.
    9. The color of the electrolyte and deposits on the electrodes have changed. The electrolyte should have a brown tint. The dark brown color indicates that the solution contains organic substances that gradually turn into acetic acid compounds. A purple tint indicates that manganese is present in the electrolyte. If there is a light gray coating on the plates, this means that chlorides have formed in the solution.
    10. When I transfer it to another car, it won't start.

    Guide to "lighting up" a car

    Attaching alligator clips to terminals

    Tools and materials

    To light a car you will need:

    • donor car;
    • set of special wires;
    • protective gloves.

    The wires for the lighting procedure have a large cross-section, which is more than 16 square meters. mm, high-quality insulation. The wires must be designed for a starting current of at least 200 A.

    You should check that the clips, which are often called “crocodiles,” are securely fastened: not crimped, but soldered. If the wires are not long enough, they can be extended with a similar set. In this case, the connection points should be reliably insulated. At the ends of the wires there are reliable, powerful “crocodiles”.

    Wires for lighting with crocodiles

    Mechanical part

    To properly carry out the “lighting up” process, you need to know how to light a car and certain rules that should be followed so as not to cause harm to cars.

    1. Cars should be driven as close to each other as possible so that there is sufficient distance for the wires. But the cars must not be allowed to touch. Closely standing cars

      The donor battery must be fully charged.

    2. Both vehicles must have the handbrake on, all equipment must be turned off, and the battery must be sealed. On the donor car, the ignition key must be removed from the lock, the windows and doors must be closed.
    3. To avoid short-circuiting and discharging the donor battery, disconnect the negative terminal on the dead battery. After this, connect the wires for lighting.
    4. First, connect the positive red wires. First of all, connect the red wire to the discharged battery, and then attach a clothespin to the positive terminal of the donor battery.
    5. Then the black wire must be pinched at the negative terminal of the donor battery. Attach the second black wire to the metal of the car engine (to ground) closer to the generator or starter and away from the battery. At the same time, make sure that there are no rotating parts or fuel wires near the hooking point. It is important that the clothespin is attached specifically to the metal of the engine, and not to the negative terminal of a dead battery. Battery connection diagram
    6. Before you start charging, you need to check that the wires are connected correctly. If everything is connected correctly, then you must first start the donor car and let it run for 15-20 minutes at 2000 rpm. Otherwise, the charged battery will have too little time to charge to working condition.
    7. After some time, you can turn off the engine of the donor car and try to start the car that requires charging. If the car does not start, you should let the engine of the donor car run a little longer and try to start it again. If a car with a discharged battery starts, you need to let both cars run for a few minutes and you can disconnect the wires.
    8. Disconnection must be done in the reverse order: first, disconnect the black negative wire connected to ground, then the second negative wire, then disconnect the positive wires. The wire from the charged battery is the last to be disconnected.

    Connecting the black wire

    After both machines are completely turned off, there may be a power surge, which could cause a control element to burn out.

    To avoid this, you should turn on some electricity consumer on the car, for example, heated windows. In this way, voltage surges can be compensated for.

    Before you start driving, you should rev it up a little, this way you can increase the charge level on a discharged battery.

     Loading …

    Recommendations and conclusion

    After the car has been started, you need to check the battery in the garage: capacity, density and condition of the electrolyte. After this, you need to fully charge the battery using a charger.

    Be sure to find out and eliminate the cause of the battery discharge. Otherwise, the unpleasant situation with a discharged battery will repeat.

    The reason for a dead battery is quality, improper operation, maintenance, or expired expiration date.

    To avoid a situation with a discharged battery, do not allow complete discharge, monitor the charge level and condition of the battery. Replace the battery in a timely manner if it cannot be repaired.

    How to properly light a car from another car

    Just a couple of decades ago, this text could not have appeared - literally every vehicle owner knew how to light a car and the material would not have found a reader.

    Today, not every car enthusiast will correctly understand the request of a neighbor in a parking space who couldn’t start in the morning and asks to “let me have a light,” and their more knowledgeable comrades will also talk about what this entails and other mythology that until recently has acquired a simple and a process that is familiar to everyone.

    That’s why we have prepared this article, in which we will tell you how to properly light a car from another car, and also debunk some misconceptions about this process.

    We advise you to remember that if you have the opportunity to remove the battery and charge it in a dry and warm room, then it would be most rational to use it - you will not waste time and mental energy persuading random witnesses to your trouble, and you can also be sure that no yours and the car of an altruistic stranger are in no danger.

    Find someone willing to light your vehicle

    So, what does the diagram of the process of lighting a cigarette from the battery of another car look like? The first step towards resuscitation of a dead battery of a car - the “patient”, that is, the cigarette lighter car, obviously, is to achieve the shortest distance with the car - the “donor”, ​​the car lighting the cigarette, and therefore we adjust the existing car as close as possible, but do not overdo it so as not to damage car bodies. Cases of physical contact between two cars during the lighting process are not uncommon, so be careful not to incur the wrath of your assistant, but rather make sure the contact wires are long enough.

    You must understand that today not everyone you meet will agree to such help, and this may not be a matter of banal greed or laziness.

    The automotive industry annually takes leaps and bounds towards complicating the electronic components of new cars, and therefore the lighting process has become not as safe for the “donor” as in the distant bright times of the complete absence of electronic components on domestic Zhiguli and Moskvich cars.

    A disconnected on-board terminal may also not convince a careless colleague; manufacturers carefully hide all important components under layers of shields or warranty seals, so you will have to look for someone who wants to light the car.

    If you have sufficient persuasion, you can repeat the algorithm described in this material to a disagreeing motorist and convince him that with the right sequence of actions his equipment is not in danger.

    Turn off ignition

    If you have already found a willing car owner to help, then your next action will still be to turn off the ignition of both cars so that nothing threatens the electronic components.

    This is a critically important point, so it’s better to play it safe and check both cars again; if you light a cigarette from an active car, its electronic part may well die and you will face unpleasant proceedings with the person who a minute earlier agreed to help you.

    Connect the terminals according to the instructions

    After these simple procedures, we move on to the technical side of the issue of how to light a car. The person performing the operation must place the red wire clamp on the positive terminal of the recipient battery, and then connect the other end to the donor.

    The reverse sequence is also possible, but is not recommended by experts.

    We remind you that the connecting wires must be in good condition and have a large cross-section; thin wires can extend the process for an unreasonably long period of time, or may not produce results at all.

    As you may have guessed, the next action will be to repeat the procedure with the black negative wire, but the difference is that the clamp is not connected to the battery terminal of the car - the “patient”, but to bare metal, and at the maximum possible distance from the positive terminal, otherwise In this case, all the energy will be spent on charging the battery rather than starting the engine, which again will steal your time. Do not forget also that the cable should not come into contact with moving parts of the engine such as fan blades; I think there is no need to explain why. By following these simple rules you will save a lot of time and moral strength, so do not ignore them.

    Start the engine and disconnect the wires

    Next comes the time to try to start the engine. If everything works out for you, then let the engine warm up to a temperature of about 50 degrees and stable speed, which will take about 5-10 minutes, and then sequentially disconnect the negative and positive terminals.

    In case of failure, you will have to start the “donor” car and try again after some time, 10-15 minutes, after turning off the working car.

    As you remember, a car in working condition can become a victim of a short circuit and lose its electronic filling.

    Use a working car and don’t get into such situations again

    As a result, you should get a started car, which should work in normal mode for some time in order to increase the charge of the recently empty battery. It is best not to turn off the engine until the final point of the route in the form of a house or a car service, where you can put the battery on external charging, and from now on be more attentive to the battery charge indicators.

    I hope that thanks to this material you can easily figure out how to light a battery from another car and not get into a difficult situation.

    But remember that if you, or a friendly stranger, have never performed this procedure, then it is better to turn to specialists or friends who have some experience in lighting cars. Good luck on the roads and don’t get into similar situations.

    How to light a car from another car

    October 25, 2015

    On the road there is always room for a variety of situations. And not all of them are pleasant. For this reason, you must be prepared to either provide assistance to other drivers or receive it from them. In many countries, people are no longer afraid of meeting scammers on the road (this is happening less and less often).

    And if they see a vehicle standing on the side of the road, they will definitely stop and ask if everything is okay. However, in some situations, you have to wait a very, very long time for such help. It is important to understand how to behave in an emergency situation.

    Every driver must know how to light a car so as not to cause harm to himself, another person or vehicle.

    It is very rare to come across people willing to push a car

    This will be very, very difficult to do. Especially if there is no specialized knowledge.

    For this reason, many drivers try to make their iron friend by using other methods.

    However, you should understand that answering the question of how to light a car on the highway is easier than trying to find people willing to push it. Especially if you have a minibus or large SUV.

    If you don’t want to look for drivers to help you, then you can use other methods of starting the engine. They are most applicable in a wide variety of and not very pleasant situations. For example, you can start the engine from a pusher.

    However, this method will not work if you are parked on a deserted highway, or if the weight of your vehicle is quite high. You can also use a jack and fourth gear to crank the engine and start it.

    All of these methods are limited in execution.

    When might you need help?

    And for this reason, the question of how to light a car quite often arises. This method is characterized by high reliability and speed of engine starting. This process will be most relevant in the following cases:

    1. If the weight of the stopped vehicle is large enough that the engine cannot be started by other methods.
    2. If there are wires in the luggage compartment of the car, you can use them when answering the question of how to light a car.
    3. If you need to start the vehicle after a frosty night. It will not be possible to do this with a pusher in such a situation.
    4. If your car breaks down on the highway. In such a situation, the only assistant can be considered the driver of the stopped vehicle.

    It is important to start your car without harming anyone

    There are a variety of situations when you need to answer the question of how to light a car from another car. For this reason, it is necessary to learn the nuances characteristic of this process in order to be able to cope with any problems that arise while starting the engine.

    You need to make sure that not only the engine of your car starts working. In this case, it is very important not to harm the electrical system of the vehicle of the driver who has stopped to help. If you make any mistake, you can drain the donor car's battery.

    You should consider in more detail the question of how to light a car from another car in order to prevent mistakes, malfunctions and other various troubles.

    It is quite understandable that often in situations where you need to start the engine using a cigarette, you do not have the Internet at hand. Accordingly, you will not be able to read the instructions, pictures and other materials.

    Therefore, you should immediately familiarize yourself with the simplest rules for lighting. Knowing them, you can not only understand how to light a battery from another car, but also not harm it in the process.

    Accordingly, both you and the driver who stopped to help can quickly complete the task and move on.

    Algorithm for starting the engine using a cigarette lighter

    There are several quite important nuances that should not only be learned, but also remembered. They need to be taken into account when performing a procedure such as lighting a cigarette. In order to understand the complexities and subtleties of this process, you need to familiarize yourself with the following algorithm:

    1. It is necessary to carefully check the wires used for lighting. It is necessary to use a special high-voltage cable, the ends of which have crocodile terminals on both sides.
    2. How to light a battery from another car? To do this, the donor vehicle must be parked with its front part facing the hood of the broken down vehicle. Open the hoods of two vehicles.
    3. It is necessary to turn off the ignition of both cars and connect the wires. Quite often the red wire is positive and the black wire is negative. However, other colors may be available.
    4. How to light a car correctly? You need to connect the positive wire to the corresponding terminals on the battery of both cars. The negative wire will need to be connected to the negative on the working vehicle and to ground on the vehicle that has broken down.
    5. After this, you will need to start the engine on the working vehicle. Otherwise, its battery will quickly discharge, which will lead to another vehicle in need of help.
    6. The last stage implies that you need to start the engine of a broken down car. But this situation also has some nuances.

    How not to let down a helping driver?

    How to light a car correctly? If you connect the wires and wait about 25 minutes after that without starting the engine of a working car, its battery will be completely discharged.

    What is this connected with? The thing is that the battery that is discharged will immediately begin charging after connecting the wires, using the working battery as a donor. This will lead to its rapid discharge. Accordingly, you can light the car.

    The service of the person who agreed to help you will backfire on him, and he will have to start the engine of his vehicle using the process described above. To prevent such a mistake, all actions must be performed quickly and accurately.

    What should you do after lighting a cigarette?

    When the engine of a stalled vehicle can be started, you will need to wait a few seconds. This must be done so that the discharged battery is slightly recharged. After this, you need to disconnect the wires and thank the stopped driver for helping to light the car.

    His service will be in vain if you turn off the engine after lighting a cigarette during the first 30 minutes. The battery simply may not have time to take the required amount of charge from the generator. This is something to consider if you don't want to stall again.

    As soon as you arrive home or at a service station, you will need to fully charge the battery device.

    An easy process with some subtleties

    How to light a car using a battery? This process has been described in some detail above. It turned out to be not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. But there are certain subtleties.

    And if you do not take them into account, you can waste a significant amount of time. It is imperative to remember the basic rules specific to the lighting process. They cannot be violated. Otherwise, you may be left without help.

    In such a situation, it will be necessary to look for other options for starting the engine.

    Instead of a conclusion

    Lighting a cigarette can safely be considered the only reasonable method of starting the engine. This process will not only help solve the problem, but will also not cause damage to the vehicle’s power unit. If you start the engine with a push, you can damage the transmission gears. And you can directly harm the engine.

    Now you know how to properly light your vehicle from another car. We hope this knowledge will help you if the problem arises.
