Professional jumper cables

Jumper cables are of capital importance when your car's battery is broken.

What is a professional jumper cable?

A jumper cable is a device used to connect two vehicles by their battery so that the power of the tow car can compensate for the weakness of the broken down car. The professional jumper cable allows the faulty vehicle to be started. This type of device is a very energy-conducting material. It is made up of insulated pliers. The jumper cable also has two lengths of cable: one red and one black.

How to use professional jumper cables?

It should be noted that the cable clamps must be put in place once the engines of both vehicles are turned off. The battery that provides the power must also have the same voltage and capacity as the one receiving it.

To use the cable, you must start by connecting the two + terminals of the batteries. The black clamp is then placed on the negative terminal of the recovery vehicle, while the other end is placed on the one receiving the energy. Start the tow car then the other car. After starting, disconnect the negative terminals before the positive terminals. For safety reasons, it is essential to wear gloves and protective glasses throughout the operation.
