battery.
■ Use a booster vehicle battery with
the same voltage (12 Volts). Its
capacity (Ah) must not be much
less than that of the discharged
vehicle battery.

terminals and a cross section of at

discharged vehicle battery.
3. Connect the black lead to the
negative terminal of the booster
vehicle battery.

lead to a vehicle grounding point,
such as the engine block or an
engine mounting bolt. Connect as
