How to Charge a Car Battery Without a Charger
Knowing how to charge a car battery without a charger is something that every car owner should learn to do at some point. The knowledge can definitely come in handy if the battery goes dead and you are not in the presence of someone that knows what to do.
How to Charge a Car Battery Without a Charger
Park a car with a charged battery in front of your car and turn off the ignition. Make sure that the two cars are not touching.
Open the hoods and locate the battery in each car.
Take out the jumper cables and attach the red clamp to the terminal of the dead battery, and then attach the other red clamp onto the terminal of the working battery. Next, attach the black clamp to the terminal of the working battery and the other black clamp to the unpainted metal surface of the car with the dead battery.
Start the engine of the working car and wait several minutes for the battery in the dead car to charge.
Try to start the engine of the dead car. If it will not start, wait a few minutes and try to start again.
Once the dead car starts, remove the jumper cables from both cars.
