A car battery is a physical reserve of energy .
It will die quicker for the things like disuse, corrosion
and faulty connections.
It needs very large amount of power to turn over an engine
and start a car.

1. Faulty Connections
Sometimes the screws or bolts which connect
the ports to the cables can become loose and the
whole connection fails and ultimately the battery
will be completely dead because no power will be
going from the battery to the starter.

2. Corrosion
Sometimes that screws or bolts which connect
the ports to the cables can develop a corroded
Connection which will made the whole connection weaker
and therefore it becomes harder for power to transfer from
battery to the starter.

Letting a car sit idle for a while without using it for
at least 2 weeks or more will cause loss of power that it can
no longer start your engine .

will die and then the battery won’t restart the car.

Hook up one end of the positive cable
[ RED] to the positive [+] terminal on
the [rescue] car's battery, and the
other end to the positive [+] terminal to
the positive terminal to the dead
battery. Bear in mind the positive
terminal is RED.
STEP-1
![Page 19: Car Battery Problems](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081404/55943e771a28abd35b8b4694/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Once the battery starts up, allow it to
run for 5 full minutes so its alternator
can boost the battery. Unhook the
jumper cables from both cars in the
Opposed order. Be sure that you do not
permit any of the open jumper cable end
to link with, as they can build a spark.
