Thanks! Those issues were why I was always afraid to jump start my mini bus alone because I didn't know what I was afraid. Great practical advise and knowledge for novices like me. Its what I kept asking people and never got a working answer.

@jernejkurincic9050 11 күн бұрын

I have always removed the cables just after jump starting, never had any issues; the alternator produces more charge than the car needs to run. Just don't turn off the engine for at least 15 minutes. About the high revs and voltage regulation: the started vehicle generally pulls down the voltage of the donor car, so it may be quite possible that you would need higher revs to reach the regulated voltage threshold. If you have a multimeter handy it can help you monitor what is happening - and even jump start a much bigger car.

Back n the old days when mb the voltage regulator was separate from the alt mb it not only was easier but way cheaper to diagnose and fix, than these b/s CHARGING systems. On average, it took only 10-15 mins to change out a volt regulator and most could be simply filed down the contacts to get it to work again. Nowadays, it can take several or more hours just to change the F-ING alt. Had this so-called mechanic try to help this guy just start his small p/u with a smaller car. They had been trying for more than 30 mins and I told him to find a good neg ground on the trk, well, 15-30 secs later, boom, the trk started. The mechanic couldn't say a word b/c he knew he was wrong. Always listen to your elders, they KNOW BETTER........ GR8 VID OTHERWISE!!!!!!

Hey A1 Auto, Guess what!? You CAN jump start a bigger vehicle with a the supply coming from a smaller vehicle! The trick is to do it with time. Yes, TIME! If you take 15 to 20 minutes and let the smaller car supply a charge to the battery in the large vehicle you can start your larger vehicle after the batter gets charged. This is also possible if all you had was a bunch of AA size batteries connected in series. The key is letting the transfer of electrons happen over time.

Interstate battery last more then 5 years, sometimes 8 years . Go with Interstate battery. They are the experts. Once you buy thier battery They can test it free anytime Fill in the fuilds , maintenance Clean the connection all for free !!!!!! And they always try thier best to troubleshoot the battery unlike dealership and other auto parts . they will say " you need a new battery " They help me with my Nissan problem, battery died every 2 years, they troubleshoot it 5 times and finally found the issue. No more dead battery for me and no charge to finding the issue

Get good heavy duty cables. The cheap ones are not good to use. If there is damage to the wires inside the insulation, that may also cause this. Store your cables in a way they are protected for this reason. Be safe and good luck.

If you do, just make sure you hook up other vehicle wrong too. Ie: both black handles on red battery terminals, one red handle on good black battery terminal and the other red handle to a good ground in the bad vh..... Just Verify The Same Side Cable Goes to the Positive on Each Battery. But safer to undo, and re-do red to red black to black.

It did get a little hot driving in limp mode but no damage. Won't rush a jump pack start ever again.

Is it not risky to run the slave car with the donor car connected? Can’t the reverse charging mess up many of computers. Is it not safer to charge for a few minutes with the donor vehicle, and then disconnect? Old cars not a problem. Modern cars are more sensitive to charging issues. Or at least that is what I have been told.
