How to jump-start
- Park the two cars close, turn both engines off and pop both hoods.
- Clamp one red end to the + terminal of the dead battery, then the other red end to the + terminal of the good battery.
- Clamp one black end to the − terminal of the good battery and the other to a bare, unpainted metal part of the dead car.
- Start the car with the good battery first, then the dead one.
- Once it's running, remove the cables in reverse order and put them back in the bag.
Why choose these jumper cables
A dead battery is one of the most common breakdowns there is, especially on the first cold snap or after the car sits for a few days. With a set of jumper cables in the trunk, you're not stuck waiting an hour for a tow truck: a neighbor, a coworker or a friendly stranger is all it takes, and you're rolling again in minutes.
The problem with a lot of cheap cables is that they're short and thin. You have to park nose to nose, and on a bigger engine they just can't carry enough current. Here you pick the thickness for your engine, from a city car to a truck, and the length up to 16 ft. The clamps are insulated with a strong spring, the PVC jacket stays flexible, and if you live where winters get brutal, there's a version rated to −40 °F.
They make a practical gift for a new driver, someone who doesn't drive much, or anyone who road-trips a lot. Packed in their bag they take up hardly any space, and the day you need them, they're worth every inch.
Dead battery? Back on the road in minutes, no tow truck
It's a cold morning, you turn the key, and nothing. Maybe you left the lights on, maybe the battery is old, maybe it's just the cold. Without cables you're waiting on roadside assistance; with them, all you need is another car with a good battery. With these jumper cables you choose both the length, 3, 4 or 5 m (10, 13 or 16 ft), and the cable thickness, 10 to 25 mm², to match your engine, from a compact car to a truck. Insulated red and black clamps and a storage bag are included.
The benefits at a glance
-
The right thickness for your engine
The thicker the cable, the more current it carries: pick the size that matches your engine, from compact cars to trucks. -
Up to 16 ft of reach
At 13 or 16 ft (4 or 5 m), the cars don't have to be nose to nose. -
Cold-rated version to −40 °F
The cold-resistant cable stays flexible and won't crack down to −40 °C (−40 °F), for harsh winters and mountain towns (engines up to 3.0 L). -
Insulated clamps with a strong spring
Red for positive, black for negative, fully insulated so they're safe to handle, with a stiff spring that bites onto the terminal. -
CCA wire, PVC jacket
Copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductor in a soft, flexible PVC jacket that's easy to uncoil and wind back up. -
Storage bag included
The cables stay coiled, clean and in the trunk, ready the day you need them.
