This video has dangerous information in it please do not ever do the procedure shown in this video. There are a lot of people like you who are looking for information that they did not get taught when they were young. This is not where you should be looking. Connecting the final black lead to the battery carries a very serious risk. Once a car battery is fully discharged it releases hydrogen gas. Connecting the final black lead to the battery negative terminal will cause a spark. If your battery is close enough to the end of its life and enough hydrogen gas has built up around it this will cause an explosion. This video is objectively dangerous and I am trying my best to get it taken down.

I got away from jumper cables a few years ago. Jump boxes, booster boxes, whatever you want to call them have come a long way and are life savers and you do not have to depend on another vehicle.
@@LeeLee-gy7gpIt’s really not a waste of money. Sometimes the hardest part with cables is getting someone with another car to give you a jump. With a jump box you can jump your car at any secomd
@@reesesj4709 Wait until you find yourself alone in a parking lot late at night with no one around to help you out with an additional battery the jumper cables require. Not to mention getting the vehicles in position to attach the cables, etc. Jump boxes are the way to go.

Never turn both vehicles at the same time because you will blow the computer, only turn on the good car the good batery let it run for about 10 minutes then turn off thw vehicle, disconnect the cables and then try to turn on the the car with the bad baterry ALWAYS DISCONECT THE CABLES BEFORE YOUR TURN ON THE BAD BATERY CAR, PLEASE ALWAYS DISCONNECT BEFORE STARTING THE BAD BATERY CAR. MY FATHER ALWAYS SHOW US THAT AND IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS. BLESSINGS TO YALL.
That’s not at all true and is a tale. That’s not how current works and I can promise you, you will not hurt anything by having both vehicles running while hooked up granted they’re both 12 volt and your not jumping a 12 volt vehicle with a 24 volt.
You don't need the live battery car to be running to jumpstart the dead battery car. The correct way is to turn the ignition to position 1 on the dead battery car and wait at least 3 minutes, and then start it with the live battery car being completely off. On older cars, it's OK, but on newer cars that are full of electronics, having both alternators on can cause electrical damage.
⚠️ DON’T attach the black to the actual battery! Find another grounded area! Also, make sure BOTH cars of OFF before turning on the car that will be used to jump the other (dead) one! You need to update your education and get a jump pack - car to car jumps are NOT needed and much LESS SAFE, esp when dealing with kids or anyone inexperienced! It’s sweet you care though.

You really shouldn't listen to this guy. Following this advice is likely to cause an explosion. As a car battery loses charge it releases hydrogen gas. The closer to the end of the batteries life the more gas it releases. Connecting the final black lead to the negative terminal of the dead battery causes a spark. That spark will ignite the gas and blow you up. You should be connecting the final lead to a bare piece of metal far away from the battery and any electronics.

Black on the dead battery shouldnt go on since it could start a spark making a fire. Find a metal area that is unpainted like a bolt or the frame. This does not go for the live battery.

And also, when he goes to connect the second vehicle, she has the cables ready and hands the cables right back to him right as he needs them. It just seems to me like she's just hiding behind him because she might be embarrassed she doesn't have her hair and make up done or something. ...

We want homes not military drones and ungrateful people who are trying to tell you to be grateful. 65% of Americans are on anti depressants- and most of them are also women-this means that there are women who are being used to bully or fund themselves into thinking free will cannot be abused to make cheating and lying more of an opportunity if we don’t put justice before peace for each other to actually sustain homes without the narratives in media and conversations and female interests that are built off of following other people and wanting to please them in some sort of corrupt sense of idealism and not being guided to know what’s right and wrong. History was humanity’s freedom and look what that consisted of… Women would sleep with their slaves and so would men Women would cheat on their husbands for men who had gold and slaves Which plays a vital role into how slavery and gold was a very highly symbolic representation of wealth like money is today. But where is gratefulness when we need it?
This video is just dangerous and needs to be taken down. There are legitimately people in this comments section defending connecting the final lead directly to the battery. This video most likely got someone killed.
Likewise. But nowadays, there is so much plastic under the hood that you can't find any good metal and sometimes I end up going negative to negative. I was warned about batteries blowing up.💥
@Steve Rudder yeah it can be hard to find metal on newer cars. I'm lucky I have an old car. 🤣 And same here, but the only battery I ever actually see pop was on charge in my old workshop 😅
FOR ANUONE TAKING ADVICE PLEASE KNOW THE BLACK ISNT SUPPOSED TO GO ON THE NEGATIVE FOR THE DEAD BATTERY ITS SUPPOSED TO GO ON A METAL PART OF THE CAR THAT CAN GROUND THE ELECTRICITY PLEASE LOOK UP HOW TO JUMP YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL OF CAR
Some people will say it doesn’t matter if you ground the negative cable. Only time I have ever seen jumper cables melt (not even cheap ones) was when someone attached both cables to both batteries. So yeah, I ground it.
It's recommended to NOT connect black directly to the dead battery but any other metal part in the car. The only reason for that is that with this final connection the circuit is closed and there might be electrical sparks which ideally should not be near the battery because of potentially igniting any hydrogen gas.
Procedure is not ok. Correct steps to be followed are: Switch off all electrical items in both the cars. Switch off the ignition and take out the keys from both the cars. Connect one end of the Red jumper cable to the Positive (+) terminal of the dead battery, mostly Red. Connect the other end of the Red jumper cable to the Positive (+) terminal of the good battery, mostly Red. Connect one end of the Black jumper cable to the Negative (-) terminal of the good battery, mostly Black. Connect the other end of the Black jumper cable to some unpainted metallic part of the car with the dead battery. Note: For safety do not use the Negative (-) terminal of the dead battery. Start the car with the good battery and let it tun for some time. Now start the car with the dead battery. It should start. If it doesn't wait for some more time and try again. If it still doesn't start call a mechanic. Disconnecting the jumper cables should be done in the reverse order of the connecting sequence.
not the correct way the final connection of the black negative cable will be to any metal ground on the car with the dead battery to avoid sparks and a possible explosion
Tip; All correct but you shut off the engine of the jumper car before cranking the dead. An alternator produces close to 14 Volts. If you have 2 14 volt sources hookee to the same electronic components that are meant for 12, you can damage some components in both Run the donor car for a few minutes, kill the engine THEN crank the dead one.
I'm tow truck driver I do this for a living You make sure that the live battery vehicle is on before you make the connection because if you hook up to the dead battery and the vehicle's not running it can automatically short the live battery and you'll be in a position where your car won't start! You always hook up the live battery first and then hook up the negative the dead battery not simultaneously life battery both hooked up positive negative and then hook up the positive homework dead battery and then the negative
Everyone seems to have their own correct way which varies so we need to ask the feller who invented the jumper cables cause everyone seems to have a doctorate in jumping vehicles 😅
The negative on the "dead" battery needs to go onto the body of the car (assuming it's a negative earth system) to create a potential difference across the starter motor.
You don’t need to let it run to give it a charge. Have it off instead that way the battery isn’t trying to keep 2 engines going at once. You’ll have better chances at knowing if it’s a battery issue, alternator, or wiring issue.
Last connection you make with the black cable should be to a ground at least 6 inches away from the battery. Anything metal and not connected to anything else is a ground.
now days with complex electronics, jumper cable is thing of the past when a good portable jumper battery cost $50 that can be carry in the car along with other emergency kit. I just charge the battery couple times a year just to have a full power ready to go if need for jumping, charging portable electronics, etc.
Thank you so much!!!’n Me and my Buddy had to use this video to jump my car today We had to hitch a ride to get to his car but we were able to jump my car with his Thank you so much your a true lifesaver ❤❤❤
Don't have both cars running at the same time - you will damage the alternators on each car. Connect to the live battery for 10 minutes running. Then you're done.
Red and black on the battery of the car being jumped, red on the battery and black to a ground that isn't the negative battery terminal on the car doing the jumping. The alternator usually has a bracket to clamp to, if not, the body will work, the engine will work, the frame will work.
most important: make sure the vehicle with the good battery is NOT running when you turn over the dead battery vehicle. The alternators will both spin at the same time and can possibly ruin electronics. Turn off good vehicle when firing up dead battery 🪫
I've never used cables, but I've used jump packs a ton in the past.. are you supposed to ground a jump pack too? I've always hooked it up to both terminals and never had any issues, but that's just what I was told to do.
Im no electeictian but what i was taught has always made sense to me. Can someone explain why you put the hot lines on before grounding? I was taught connect negatives to ground first. Not on the batterries. But connect dead side black to a bit of metal then connect live side negative. Then dead side red. And finally red side live. The reason it makes sense to me is that you keep the cables from being "hot" until the last steps. Am i wrong? And if so, how?
So I just needed to jump my car for the first time and it went real smooth😊You make it so easy to understand. Again thank you so much, and God bless you and your family.
Negative black cable on the dead car side should connect to a grounded component of the car. Otherwise you could short the car your using to jump the dead one.
This procedure can be super helpful in an emergency. We have always done it over the years with good success. However, it comes with certain risks. The alternator can actually get "hit". I learned the hard way. A few weeks after attempting to give someone a jumpstart, I had to get my alternator repaired, and also replaced my starter. And the worst part is, the disabled vehicle I was trying to help, never actually started. I understand that a better thing to have done was ground the jumped cable on the body of the engine. The best way to help someone whose car won't start is to actually take your battery out of your car and put it in theirs. Perhaps we should be thinking about investing in a suitable car jumper kit. (And PLEASE keep it fully charged at all times)
_Correct Way To Do It_ 1. Red(Dead) to Red(Charged) 2. Black(Charged) and ground the other black(Dead) And removing is vise versa, meaning the opposite of how you did it. *Also to be safe, you should never connect two positives with two negatives which makes a closed circuit and will cause a fire and melt the jumper cables LIKE IN THIS VIDEO*
Thanks for the information, But it shouldn't be done like that anymore. Because new cars have these computer Motherboards, that you could burn it out. By jumping the vehicle battery to battery.
Very true. It doesn't happen often, but it is always a possibility. As an extra precaution, simply connect the other black clamp to a separate part of the dead vehicle and NOT directly to the negative (-) terminal on the dead battery. A nut or bolt or other metal part of the car can be used as a ground instead, which will help prevent a short circuit.

I hope your daughter is grateful and truly learns from you regarding values and even safety.
Not a lot of opportunities for us men to have families but those men who can afford that world - we ask the families of these men to never forget to appreciate them without pity but with sheer will that proves a clean heart.
What? All men have the opportunity to have a family.
@@jeffcampbell2710 with women who are aware and trust worthy?
Yeah go and enjoy your 56% divorce rate where 70-90% of the divorces are initiated by women for financial reasons
They’re not even grateful for us for them to have expectations from us yet we have loser kucks like you who probably think only fans is a great representation of freedom yet most prostitution starts online in very unfortunate ways that not even our leaders have the audacity to make aware.
14 million slaves in India yet America continues to neglect this and the men of those nations who also want to stop these things because they want to deem certain groups of men as “terrorists “ or “criminals “ or “rapists “ by the actions of individuals for reasons disregarded objectively and yet unjustly and mixing them up with other groups who are involved with other things that consist of ruining homes as an opportunity that should not be available in any nation as a suggestion to make things better
7 veterans commit suicide everyday due to ptsd reasons yet our tax money goes towards ruining Americas own reputation by neglecting how truth is as difficult as finding solid reason to trust people’s intentions when it’s ok to have 4-32 sexual partners and then have the expectations of stability to be the outcome since the body of an individual is now culturally and religiously/esoterically being separated from our individual identity and how males and females are not being taken care of in a way that reassures them and so that we may need to make true difference by now sacrificing time into more efficiency in the societies economic choices as a suggestion.
We want homes not military drones and ungrateful people who are trying to tell you to be grateful.
65% of Americans are on anti depressants- and most of them are also women-this means that there are women who are being used to bully or fund themselves into thinking free will cannot be abused to make cheating and lying more of an opportunity if we don’t put justice before peace for each other to actually sustain homes without the narratives in media and conversations and female interests that are built off of following other people and wanting to please them in some sort of corrupt sense of idealism and not being guided to know what’s right and wrong.
History was humanity’s freedom and look what that consisted of…
Women would sleep with their slaves and so would men
Women would cheat on their husbands for men who had gold and slaves
Which plays a vital role into how slavery and gold was a very highly symbolic representation of wealth like money is today.
But where is gratefulness when we need it?
@@jeffcampbell2710I mean there's infertility, but idk if that's what he means
Thank you so much! Worked like a charm. Sending to my kids. They know how but it’ll be a refresher.
Straight to the point. Thank you 😊😊
You sound like a great father and I love how excited your daughter is watching you
If only he wasn't an idiot spreading dangerous information.
He’s teaching her wrong. And why would you have your street meat on a video of you guessing the wrong way to jump a battery…?
Just to be safe, connect the black cable (on the dead car) to a bare metal surface that’s away from a moving part, fuel, or vapors.
This video is just dangerous and needs to be taken down. There are legitimately people in this comments section defending connecting the final lead directly to the battery. This video most likely got someone killed.
Used this to get me home tonight. You’re awesome!
I've always gone positive to positive negative to ground same result, but that was how I was told
Likewise. But nowadays, there is so much plastic under the hood that you can't find any good metal and sometimes I end up going negative to negative.
I was warned about batteries blowing up.💥
@Steve Rudder yeah it can be hard to find metal on newer cars. I'm lucky I have an old car. 🤣
And same here, but the only battery I ever actually see pop was on charge in my old workshop 😅
Yep. I got away from having the old jumper cables. Now I have the cordless cables. 😆
Thank you. I always forget which one goes first. I shorted out my radio doing it the wrong way.
First step is to have the good battery car not running .
FOR ANUONE TAKING ADVICE PLEASE KNOW THE BLACK ISNT SUPPOSED TO GO ON THE NEGATIVE FOR THE DEAD BATTERY ITS SUPPOSED TO GO ON A METAL PART OF THE CAR THAT CAN GROUND THE ELECTRICITY PLEASE LOOK UP HOW TO JUMP YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL OF CAR
Some people will say it doesn’t matter if you ground the negative cable. Only time I have ever seen jumper cables melt (not even cheap ones) was when someone attached both cables to both batteries. So yeah, I ground it.
Thank you! You just saved me.
Thank you ! Got my truck started 🎉
This worked. Thanks for the quick tutorial. You made it super easy. ❤
Hey! Thanks so much for your video. It helped us out and clarified some things we didn't quite get after watching other videos on the subject.
Thank u so much your simple instructions help me to fix the battery.
Thank you .. just followee your instructions and got to help my dad jump start his car so he doesnt get stranded in the rain ❤
Hes a good dad
It's recommended to NOT connect black directly to the dead battery but any other metal part in the car. The only reason for that is that with this final connection the circuit is closed and there might be electrical sparks which ideally should not be near the battery because of potentially igniting any hydrogen gas.
Other than the risk of sparks it will however work just fine.
Excellent! Thank you.🙏🏽
Thank you for posting… it just worked! And Im safe and alive! Never learned this. My husband just sat there when I asked for his help…oh well!
Procedure is not ok.
Correct steps to be followed are:
Switch off all electrical items in both the cars.
Switch off the ignition and take out the keys from both the cars.
Connect one end of the Red jumper cable to the Positive (+) terminal of the dead battery, mostly Red.
Connect the other end of the Red jumper cable to the Positive (+) terminal of the good battery, mostly Red.
Connect one end of the Black jumper cable to the Negative (-) terminal of the good battery, mostly Black.
Connect the other end of the Black jumper cable to some unpainted metallic part of the car with the dead battery. Note: For safety do not use the Negative (-) terminal of the dead battery.
Start the car with the good battery and let it tun for some time.
Now start the car with the dead battery. It should start. If it doesn't wait for some more time and try again. If it still doesn't start call a mechanic.
Disconnecting the jumper cables should be done in the reverse order of the connecting sequence.
Thank you from a grown man who didn't know how to do this until now.
not the correct way
the final connection of the black negative cable will be to any metal ground on the car with the dead battery to avoid sparks and a possible explosion
Thank you for being a dad. Fathers are very important. I thought my boys the same thing and have them a lot in situation when needed.
This is how my dad taught me!!!! Thanks for the reminder!!!
I just helped someone with this vid. I always forget which color I clamp first. Ty.
Thank you for the small but great information,
I love this man. I really felt like I was talking to my Dad lol 😂 Keep up the good work daddy-o
The last connection on the dead car is a ground point away from the battery.
This video is objectively very dangerous. I do not doubt that someone has died as a result of following this man's idiotic advice.
Tip;
All correct but you shut off the engine of the jumper car before cranking the dead.
An alternator produces close to 14 Volts. If you have 2 14 volt sources hookee to the same electronic components that are meant for 12, you can damage some components in both
Run the donor car for a few minutes, kill the engine THEN crank the dead one.
Thank you so much. I can remember finally because of your explanation. 😘😁
Thank you I was tought the car had to be on
I'm tow truck driver I do this for a living You make sure that the live battery vehicle is on before you make the connection because if you hook up to the dead battery and the vehicle's not running it can automatically short the live battery and you'll be in a position where your car won't start! You always hook up the live battery first and then hook up the negative the dead battery not simultaneously life battery both hooked up positive negative and then hook up the positive homework dead battery and then the negative
Thanks, Dad. Followed your instructions and I have the vehicle started. Now, how to remove? Reverse order? Should both vehicles be turned off?
Everyone seems to have their own correct way which varies so we need to ask the feller who invented the jumper cables cause everyone seems to have a doctorate in jumping vehicles 😅
The negative on the "dead" battery needs to go onto the body of the car (assuming it's a negative earth system) to create a potential difference across the starter motor.
I see why you're not a mechanic and I'm glad you pointed that out
😂😂😂 chill
😂😂😂
You don’t need to let it run to give it a charge. Have it off instead that way the battery isn’t trying to keep 2 engines going at once. You’ll have better chances at knowing if it’s a battery issue, alternator, or wiring issue.
Last connection you make with the black cable should be to a ground at least 6 inches away from the battery. Anything metal and not connected to anything else is a ground.
Thanks easy to understand
now days with complex electronics, jumper cable is thing of the past when a good portable jumper battery cost $50 that can be carry in the car along with other emergency kit. I just charge the battery couple times a year just to have a full power ready to go if need for jumping, charging portable electronics, etc.
God bless you! Thank you so much for this video!!!
Thank you so much!!!’n
Me and my Buddy had to use this video to jump my car today
We had to hitch a ride to get to his car but we were able to jump my car with his
Thank you so much your a true lifesaver
❤❤❤
Hey dad I know you don't know me, I am a woman, thank you for teaching your daughter what to do to keep from being stained. You're all heart. ❤
I’m never knew my father 😢… thanks
My entire 28yrs of existence I thought they said “red you’re dead” not “red to dead” omg 😭
This is correct. 50 years mechanic
Don't have both cars running at the same time - you will damage the alternators on each car. Connect to the live battery for 10 minutes running. Then you're done.
Red and black on the battery of the car being jumped, red on the battery and black to a ground that isn't the negative battery terminal on the car doing the jumping. The alternator usually has a bracket to clamp to, if not, the body will work, the engine will work, the frame will work.
most important:
make sure the vehicle with the good battery is NOT running when you turn over the dead battery vehicle. The alternators will both spin at the same time and can possibly ruin electronics. Turn off good vehicle when firing up dead battery 🪫
Thanks, dad.
Wrong…
Always go to a ‘ground’ on the dead car, like a bolt , not the battery negative terminal!!!
Reduce the risk of explosion 💥 that way!!
I've never used cables, but I've used jump packs a ton in the past.. are you supposed to ground a jump pack too? I've always hooked it up to both terminals and never had any issues, but that's just what I was told to do.
@@anokat Jump packs have an on and off switch. Leave it off while hooking up and there is no risk of sparks. Turn it off before removing cables
Thanks single mother no friends and my father is dead this helped me a lot
Actually you should connect both the "dead battery" cables before the good battery side. Or at least connect the last one on the good battery side.
Thanks dad.
Connect the red cables to the red car, black ones to the black car, and you’re done……..for! 😂😂 what a choice of car colors for the video.
Wrong , disabled car black to a body ground. Putting the black on the battery can cause a explosion if there are acid fumes around it.
Im no electeictian but what i was taught has always made sense to me.
Can someone explain why you put the hot lines on before grounding?
I was taught connect negatives to ground first. Not on the batterries. But connect dead side black to a bit of metal then connect live side negative. Then dead side red. And finally red side live.
The reason it makes sense to me is that you keep the cables from being "hot" until the last steps. Am i wrong? And if so, how?
Hey dad your on point, thank you so much for teaching me. The car battery hook up. God bless you
Thank you sir!!
So I just needed to jump my car for the first time and it went real smooth😊You make it so easy to understand. Again thank you so much, and God bless you
and your family.
Thanks, Dad!
Technically, you should put the black that’s on the dead car on a body ground and not the battery… You get much better results this way lol
The negative terminal on the dead car should always be clear.
Thank you so much!!!!
Negative black cable on the dead car side should connect to a grounded component of the car. Otherwise you could short the car your using to jump the dead one.
Great video keep up the great work 💯👏
This procedure can be super helpful in an emergency. We have always done it over the years with good success. However, it comes with certain risks. The alternator can actually get "hit".
I learned the hard way. A few weeks after attempting to give someone a jumpstart, I had to get my alternator repaired, and also replaced my starter.
And the worst part is, the disabled vehicle I was trying to help, never actually started.
I understand that a better thing to have done was ground the jumped cable on the body of the engine.
The best way to help someone whose car won't start is to actually take your battery out of your car and put it in theirs.
Perhaps we should be thinking about investing in a suitable car jumper kit. (And PLEASE keep it fully charged at all times)
Stuck in the 1950's .get rid of those cables. Get a super cap,and possibly a lithium ion pack too.get a battery tester and you will be set
Thank you for this i just jumped my mother in laws vehicle and all worked well. I have burnt cables before I most likely did it backwards.
_Correct Way To Do It_
1. Red(Dead) to Red(Charged)
2. Black(Charged) and ground the other black(Dead)
And removing is vise versa, meaning the opposite of how you did it. *Also to be safe, you should never connect two positives with two negatives which makes a closed circuit and will cause a fire and melt the jumper cables LIKE IN THIS VIDEO*
Thanks for the information, But it shouldn't be done like that anymore. Because new cars have these computer Motherboards, that you could burn it out. By jumping the vehicle battery to battery.
Very true. It doesn't happen often, but it is always a possibility. As an extra precaution, simply connect the other black clamp to a separate part of the dead vehicle and NOT directly to the negative (-) terminal on the dead battery. A nut or bolt or other metal part of the car can be used as a ground instead, which will help prevent a short circuit.
Sounds like you have a tesla…sorry about that.
@@aka_dust Stop hating. You want a Tesla yourself.
My dad passed away a while back, and I’m really missing him today. You look almost identical.
Thanks for giving me a little piece of my dad when I needed him most!
You are the man... my mustang depends on you everytime :) I need a hero jump.
