handling a vehicle battery.
● Use a booster vehicle battery with the same voltage (12 Volt).
Its capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the
discharged vehicle battery.
● Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of
at least 16 mm 2
(25 mm 2
for
diesel engines).
● Do not disconnect the discharged
