Why You Shouldn’t Do It Yourself
Although it is a standard task that you’ve probably seen time and time again, and have probably been taught how to do, jump starting a vehicle can go wrong for various reasons. This is why we always recommend getting help jump starting your vehicle as leaving it to the professionals will mitigate the risk of something going wrong in the short or long term. Below are a few reasons why it can be a hazardous situation:

It can be hard to tell if your battery may be damaged, and by connecting jumper cables to a damaged battery, a fire could potentially develop. The sulfuric acid in car batteries can vapourize and spill out of vents. These vapours may be extremely flammable. Jumper cables are known to produce sparks, which when ignited by these gases can result in flames or even an explosion. If not done properly, you run the risk of seriously hurting both you and others.
Jumping a car in the rain might also have negative effects. Water is an excellent electrical conductor. Even though you may not get hurt, that doesn’t mean your car came out unscathed.
If done incorrectly, jumping your own car can harm your vehicle. More electronics than ever before are being built into modern vehicles. The electronics in your car may get damaged if you jump it improperly. The incorrect terminal placement might cause a short circuit or possible irreparable damage to certain components. This mistake could cost you a lot of money in the long run.
