Allwility: That is not true Sir. Nothing will happen to your car if ur connect it to the negative side of your battery . it's something I have been doing for more than 10years and it always work when the two heads are connected to the battery without any issue. And if after doing jump start to start you vehicle and after driving it around for some times the vehicle can't still start on its own then it is likely due to the faulty alternator or the battery. |

miketayo:That you didn't fry your car on those attempts were all near misses if you know what I mean. Acid batteries produce hydrogen when charged. If you do -ve to -ve connection there are chances of producing a spark which might ignite the hydrogen and explode the battery. The resultant effect might be acid being poured on you or your car's microprocessors being fried. |

KORLAR: Areaboy2:Truth is that, it doesn't matter if you connect to the negative terminal or the car body, both will definitely work. There must have been another reason why it didnt work when you connected to the negative terminals, probably there was poor contact. Connecting to the car body instead of the -ve terminal is just a safety precaution because of sparks (and some other risks). |

Allwility: if the positive terminal is connected to the body of the car wat is d point connecting to a metal when d car itself is metallic |

miketayo:honestly, dunno what they are talking about. I have been jump starting using -ve to -ve all this years with no ish, even my rewire, batter charger jump start using same method. The only time I had to use the unpainted alternative was when I couldn't get a wire to connect the negative so I just used a metal to connect the -ve head of the other batter to an unpainted surface on the car. |

siraj1402: If you ask me for this kinda help, I'll think twice because the logic is that you're actually using my battery to recharge yours. |
Re: How To Jump Start A Car by Allwility: 8:44am On Sep 28, 2016 |
miketayo:No sir, pls don't get it mixed up. It's the negative terminal that's connected to the body of the car. |

Nice info |

siraj1402:. Its not a technology and you cannot push start an automatic car. |
Re: How To Jump Start A Car by whytnblack: 9:06am On Sep 28, 2016 |
What of the cable you attached to the metal? You are meant to return it to the negative terminal of your car to charge nah. |

Re: How To Jump Start A Car by okikiosibodu(m): 10:38am On Sep 28, 2016 |
OP, I am just curious. What will happen if the negative nodes are also connected to each other? |
Re: How To Jump Start A Car by miketayo(m): 11:27am On Sep 28, 2016 |

lapazi:nice info bro.. Pls my question is... Should I leave the connection wire that runs from my battery to my car or should I disconnect it while performing this operation... Thanks |

KORLAR: the whole metal body of a car is earth aka negative (-) if the any metal is painted you then loose the negative since the paint itself became an insulation so you go for the unpainted but mostly the engine its self |
Re: How To Jump Start A Car by ZIMDRILL(m): 1:07pm On Sep 28, 2016 |
Allwility: i think you are being confused when jump starting or even charging a battery the connection is always positive to positive and negative to negative then you are jumping from a standalone battery that battery will only discharge 12volts then if you are jump starting from an running or whether idling or being raved you will only get the regulated current from the running car roughly 14volts which then gets reduce when current get to the dead battery as the dead battery would suck up some volts most likely 2 volts there the remaining 12 volts starts up the car so tell us when you jump start a car you put positive to negative and then negative to positive no wonder you fry the ECU |

esimple4u: the terminals on your battery to you car remain connected |
Re: How To Jump Start A Car by Allwility: 2:03pm On Sep 28, 2016 |
ZIMDRILL: Lol, am I confused on this? Not at all. I never said you should cross wires like +ve to -ve...You can go through my posts fa. What we are discussing is why you must not connect the negative terminal of the good battery to the negative terminal of the dead battery. If there's a spark, it can lead to explosion of the battery. |

kingreign: I swear. Not stingy, but wicked. Een when I do freely give out mine, to the chagrin of friends and passers-by. But, not all Nigerians are like those described. I no lie there are some who are just angels...... |
Re: How To Jump Start A Car by ZIMDRILL(m): 7:12pm On Sep 28, 2016 |
Allwility: a spark is always there whether you connect correctly or the wrong way but there is a difference in the loudness and spark size negative of a good battery to negative of dead battery never explode unless if there something wrong with the dead battery especially in africa we dont want to replace things straight away we fiddle with dead thing until it either kills us or finally surrender that the part is dead the reason we use the metal body is very simple, the body has a better earth contacts than the battery terminal and also your negative cable might be short to reach the battery terminals so you can attacth it to the manifold engine hooks etc a normal dead battery would not explode if a negative from a good battery is connected to it |

ZIMDRILL: Lol, I believe the OP must have jump started his vehicle and prolly viewing this thread from one cool joint. Come make we go one cool spot go take pepper soup and orijin. I raised this topic during lunch hour at work today...o boy see debate. Engineering guys bringing out automotive textbooks to confirm and all that but the safety guys were having none of it. Chief engineer said he's always connected negative terminal to negative terminal and it works for him although he could remember just one time he jumped a battery and it exploded. We asked if an incident investigation was done to determine what caused the battery exploding, he said no. I smiled and walked away. 1 Like |

Re: How To Jump Start A Car by nwolisar: 10:05pm On Sep 30, 2016 |
Allwility:Negative to Negative wont fry the car, the negative of the battery in the car is grounded already... So its easier to connect the working battery -ve terminal to unpainted part is for safety, not to make any mistake of polarity mixing which is bad. and it's thesame as connect the-ve terminals together too. |
