Using a Booster Battery

CQ221020-UN-21NOV03

A - Engine

B - Weak battery

C - Booster battery

D - Positive terminal of weak battery

E - Positive terminal of booster battery

F - Ground connection

IMPORTANT: If this procedure is necessary, do not directly connect booster battery cables (C) to terminals of weak battery (B). This may damage the batteries or even cause an explosion.

Use cables terminated in “crocodile” clips, and with sufficient current carrying capacity.

Procedure

1. Connect a cable between the (+) terminals (D and E) of batteries (B and C).

2. Connect the other cable to the (-) terminal of the booster battery (C) and attach the other end to a ground connection (F) for example: engine housing, chassis.

3. Start up engine.
