So my cars batteries died, and i dont have anyone to help me jumpstart it, ive ordered an automatic smart charger on amazon for it but i cant get to my car from my house, its over 50m away and i cant find a lead long enough and even if i could, it wouldn't be safe to leave it out for hours long enough to charge it to full. My only idea is to take the battery out, and charge it in the back yard... But now im a little worried, what are the risks when doing that, what complications are you talking about? Ps thank you for the video and thanks again if you reply to this
It’s ok to remove the battery. It has to be, batteries have to be replaced from time to time. Dependant on the car you may need to put in a radio code. On my Toyota there is a reset process for the engine, which is on the channel. Good luck I’m sure you won’t need it.
@@azimmorganam it will probably have a radio code, but if you don’t have that your dealer will be able to look it up. I’m not familiar with the jazz but in principle remove the negative lead first, then the positive. There will be a battery hold down strap to undo, then it should come out
I always charged the battery in my cars without removing it. My car has computer systems, and if the battery is removed all the preferences will be reset. If removing the battery, there is a portable supply from the manufacture that can be connected to a port that allows to maintain power for the computer modules. I use the charger in the 5 Amp mode to charge the battery. It will automatically go to standby when the battery is charged. When charging the battery I leave the hood opened as to allow air circulation, and thus lower any chance from the affect of the battery out gassing fumes and hydrogen.
I've charged still connected for the last 50 years with no issues.⚠️
Me too.
Do you use an extension cord?
Wonderful. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback 🙂
