Get Ready First
Before you start the activity, arrange a few
things first. It is called the preparation phase.
Has the battery completely exhausted or there is
some charge left? Remove the battery carefully
from the vehicle. Make sure you have
the necessary tools and knowledge of it. Some
batteries are easy to remove whereas in some cars
it is fitted under the fender. In some vehicles,
it is below the seat. Once you remove it

Jump The Battery
Put every accessory off small or big. Put off
all the lights. It is an extremely important
point. Get the battery down. Remove the ground
cable or negative cable first which is black in
color. You can see the negative sign on the
ground terminal. The power terminal will have a
positive sign. Clean the terminals with a
cleaning brush and a mixture of baking soda and
water to neutralize the acid. Do not forget to
wear a mask and eye protection to avoid any
contact with acid. Remove the caps and check the
water level. Add distilled water to refill it.
Dont overfill the battery. If you have a
maintenance free battery, then you cant see
the acid level.

It takes around 12 hours to fully charge a
battery if the voltage is below 11.85 and the
charge rate is 5-amp. It takes 6 hours if the
charge rate is 10-amp. The time depends on the
open circuit voltage and cold cranking amp. If
the battery doesnt charge after putting it on
charging for a  stipulated time, then it is
perhaps dead. You have to replace it with a new
one.
