If your battery dies when you’re leaving your home, you can call for a mechanic at your pace. On the road though, you need to either have someone check on your car then and there or you have to do a car jump start so you can take it to a repair shop.
Let’s figure out what you should do.
How long can a car jump start attempt take?
You can’t perform a car jump start without another car for manual transmission vehicles. If you’re stuck on the road, you will have to ask a kind stranger to help you out.
Unless you have automatic transmission and a battery jump starter with you. It’s a matter of unplugging the cable, draining the battery completely, and plugging it back in properly.
Once cables are connected, the jump starting process can take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. Though, it’s often on the five minutes side than thirty minutes. You have to drive the car for another 15 minutes for a full recharge.
If you don’t have a battery jump starter, you can simply call a car jump start service for assistance.
Calling a 24-hour, 365 days, full Singapore coverage area rescue team such as Battery Tyre is always the better option in this situation. They will arrive at your location within 30 to 35 minutes at most and jump start your car for you. If you are in a hurry, you can hail a taxi for your destination in the meantime.
If your battery is completely dead and jump starting it won’t work, they will have equipment
ready to replace the battery too. All you need to do is give a go-ahead.
Is jump-starting a car dangerous?
If your battery is in good condition and you know the correct steps to jump-start a car, there is no danger.
However, if you don’t know the steps, you may accidentally connect the negative cables to the positive ones or vice versa and cause a fire. Connecting cables to a faulty battery can even lead to explosions on occasion.
