Starting Your Car with Tweezers

These starter clamps aren't that expensive, and to use them, you will need to connect them to the battery of another vehicle in the following way:

• Without any part of the body touching, place both cars together so the clamps can reach each other.
• Open the hood of both vehicles and connect the red clamps to the two batteries' positive (+) terminals.
• Attach the black clips to the negatives (-).
• Start the car with the battery and then do the same with the one that has it discharged. Lastly, remove the tweezers.

Jump Start Your Car with a Pocket Starter

These objects are auxiliary batteries to charge the mobile phone, but some are larger and built to load more powerful devices. They must have a capacity of at least 8,000 mAh, and you can find them on websites like Amazon. To use them, you have to connect their cables, the positive with the positive terminal of your battery and the same with the negative ones, turn them on, and turn on your car.

Call the Tow Truck

If your car insurance has roadside assistance, almost all policies include it, you can call the company's tow truck, and a technician will come to start your car with an impressive jump starter. This solution is the most comfortable, but you'll have to wait for the crane to arrive.

Refrain From Starting Your Car by Pushing It

If you want to avoid possible breakdowns, don't push your car to get it started. You won't have a brake booster or power steering until the car starts, which can be dangerous. But still, this maneuver can get you out of a hassle if you need to push the car: have someone move the vehicle or 'launch' it downhill - in a safe place - with the ignition on, step on the clutch and insert a second gear. When you reach about nine mph, release the clutch pedal, and the car will start. This step applies only to vehicles with manual transmission.

How to Act If Your Car Has Run Out of Battery

Due to the constant discharges suffered by having to start the engine regularly, the batteries in modern cars are built to be more powerful. They can be started with tweezers or with a charger. Still, when changing them, you will have to go to a workshop: it's necessary to reprogram the control unit so that the car works correctly.

What to Do If Your Hybrid Car Has Run Out of Battery

These models have a traditional 12V battery responsible for starting the engine and the air conditioning, lighting, multimedia systems, etc. If this battery fails, the car won't start. In that case, you'll have to start it like any other vehicle: by connecting the clamps or a starter to another vehicle. But be wary of the terminal of your automobile. Brands like Toyota have specific connection ends that are specified in the user book.

What Happens If Your Car Has the Battery behind It and It Won't Start?

The only difference is that, in these vehicles, there are two sockets in the engine compartment that are directly attached to the battery to connect the clamps or the charger.

Lastly, Do This If Your Electric Car Has Run Out of Battery

All vehicles of this type have, in addition to the battery that drives the electric motor, have a standard 12V battery that is responsible for supplying energy to the air conditioning system, the lights, and the car's start-up. This battery is recharged with the bigger battery itself, but if the 12V battery fails, the vehicle won't start even if the other battery is fully charged. If the latter happens, it can be started the same as any other car: connecting tweezers or a portable starter, be it professional or pocket-sized. Of course, please consult the user's book, because depending on the model, you have to do some things or others after starting the car, although it's enough to circulate as long as the main battery is loaded.
