Do It Yourself Educational Program / / December 19, 2019
Low temperatures sometimes portrayed surprises even those who regularly change the battery in the car. If it's -25 ° C and less fully serviceable battery per night loses up to half its capacity: electrolyte thickens during chemical reactions slows down and the battery can no longer pay all the accumulated energy.
Riding in urban-enabled heater, heated mirrors and seats are also not conducive to the proper charging the battery, not to mention the fact that you can simply forget to turn off the parking lot parking lights or other instruments.
Discharged battery will give out gummy sounds and clicks when attempting to run the starter motor, and the dim glow of the dashboard indicators, which is even less when you turn the key.
If the battery no signs of life, should not immediately panic. Desperate situations do not happen. There are at least four ways to bring to life cars even with a flat battery.
How to start the car, lit it with a battery of the donor
Universal and the most correct way of resuscitation. It deservedly the most popular among drivers.
Suitable for injection, gasoline and diesel cars with any type of transmission.
What is needed
- Car donor with a serviceable battery.
- Jump leads with the "crocodile".
Unless the problem is not caught you in the deep woods, problems with the car donor should arise. But with a set of jump leads more difficult if you do not carry any such in the trunk, it is hoped that you will come to the aid of the driver would be prudent.
What do we have to do
To successfully start a car with a battery planted and not hurt the car-donor, it is important to observe the correct sequence of actions:
- Put the car as close as possible to one another, bumper to bumper, or bumper to the wing, depending on the location of the battery.
- Turn off the engine of the donor and always turn off the ignition, so as not to burn the electronics.
- Connect the red jump wire positive terminals of both batteries, starting with the serviceable.
- One end of the black wire to the cylinder block or other metal engine parts his car away from the elements of the fuel system, and the second - to the negative terminal the battery of the donor.
- Try to run your car by doing no more than 2-3 attempts.
- After the engine starts, let it run for two minutes and disconnect the wires in the reverse sequence.
Do not try to light from a subcompact car with engine capacity of more than two liters, especially diesel. The capacity of the battery of the donor must be greater than or equal to the battery capacity, which is needed to revive.
How to start the car with a tug or pusher
Classic, you can say, antiquated method, when the engine is started using the acceleration of the machine and enable transmission. Injection engine in this way can be started only when the battery is not fully seated and its charge is sufficient that the fuel pump fuel pumped from a tank into the system.
The method is suitable only for cars with manual transmission.
What is needed
- Tow rope.
- Other serviceable car or assistants.
Not even in the most crowded place can be found, if not another car, then at least a couple of caring volunteers to push your car. Well, the rope must always be in the trunk.
What do we have to do
The method is very simple and does not require any special skills, except coordination of actions and conditioned signals to all stakeholders.
- Connect the tow rope both cars.
- Turn the ignition switch on your machine, depress the clutch and shift to third gear without releasing the clutch pedal.
- Give the command to the driver of the towing car to start moving.
- After the dissolution up to 10-20 km / h smoothly release the clutch.
- When the engine starts, depress the clutch again and the signal other drivers.
Do not rush to switch to neutral and run the engine with the clutch squeezed, or because of the cold oil in the transmission it can immediately stall. Keep this in mind and in the event that the car will be strong to disperse the volunteers.
How to start the car with the help of ropes
Rather complicated process which nevertheless help out if aid can not expect from anyone.
Only suitable for cars with manual transmission.
What is needed
- Jack.
- Tow rope or rope.
Jack is in the car each driver. Tow rope must also be. If it is not at hand will be, any suitable length of rope at least 2-3 meters.
What do we have to do
- Put the car on the parking brake, and put stones or other Chock the wheels.
- With the help of a jack lift the machine so that the air turned out to one of the drive wheels.
- Turn on the ignition and third gear.
- Tightly wound a few turns of cable or rope wheel sharply Pull (can run off to the side).
- If it does not start the engine the first time, repeat the procedure.
- When the engine starts, turn neutral and lower the machine, removing the jack.
In no case do not attach the cable to the disc or wrap on hand. Otherwise, after starting the engine, have the risk of getting seriously injured when a cable rewound by the rotating wheel.
How to start the car by means of start-charger
Pre-chargers, or so-called boosters - the most technologically advanced way to run cars with a discharged battery. Thanks to the lithium iron phosphate battery, these miniature Gadgets able to give huge currents even at low capacity.
Suitable for injection, gasoline and diesel cars with any type of transmission.
What is needed
- Booster.
The advantage of starting-up chargers is that they are completely independent. In addition to the booster, no longer need anything else to start the machine. The downside is the relatively high price gadgets.
What do we have to do
Each booster comes with detailed instructions, but the general principle of operation they have the same.
- Turn off the ignition in the car.
- Connect the "crocodiles" booster to the battery terminals, observing the polarity.
- Start the car.
Cars with engine capacity of up to two liters boosters run without any problems even in the bitter cold, and with a fully discharged battery. Difficulties may be a motor with a volume of two liters, especially diesel.
How to prevent discharge
- In order not to get into trouble, you need to monitor the state of the battery and change it in a timely manner, without waiting for complete failure.
- When starting the engine always depress the clutch. This eliminates the need to rotate the starter pinion in a frozen CAT transmission oil and facilitate the process.
- If you have an important trip, you can remove the battery from the car and take him home for the night. So there will be more chances to start the engine in the morning.
- And, of course, do not forget to turn off the dimensions and other equipment, leaving the car in the parking lot.
