When we turn our car’s ignition key in order to start the engine several things happen, all of them have to do with electricity. As long as a car’s engine is off all electric power must come from the car’s battery. Therefore, a flat battery means trouble with getting the engine up and running. A battery jump start will almost always solve the problem.
Several reasons may lead to a flat battery situation, we may have left our headlights on while our car was parked (with engine turned off), a fault in the vehicle’s electric systems or maybe the battery itself is getting old. Whatever the reason the result is the same, the engine can no longer be started with the normal, simple turn of the ignition key.
Fast and Dependable Car Jump Starting
Most people know that it is possible to jump-start a manual shift vehicle by pushing it down the road, gaining enough momentum so that if we place it in second gear and release the clutch the engine will begin revolving, catch on and spring to life. It is impossible to do this with automatic shift vehicles.
Jump-starting vehicles with automatic transmission, as well as sticks shift without the need to exhaust ourselves pushing them, can be done using a battery jump start. Connecting alive, sufficiently charged battery allows us to then start the engine normally.
