Jump starting a car, sometimes referred to as boost starting a car, is a simple method of starting a vehicle which does not have enough remaining power in its own battery to crank the engine. To perform a jump start, a temporary connection is made between the dead battery and a live battery, or some other external device, like a jump starter or battery charger.
This external power supply recharges the dead battery enough to crank the engine and start the car. Once the car has been started, the external power source can be disconnected and the car's internal charging system should recharge the battery on its own. If there is a problem with the alternator, or some other component of the car's charging system, it will not be able to recharge the battery and most likely the car will quickly stop running.
Because dead batteries are one of the most common causes of a car not starting, many motorists carry a set of jumper cables in their trunk, or under a seat. While this can be incredibly helpful, it requires the use of another car with a live battery. If stranded at home with multiple cars, this may not be much of a problem as one can just use the other car at the home. If stranded on the side of a highway or road, this becomes more problematic as one is relying on the kindness of a passing motorist to stop and help them out. If stranded on a deserted road with little to no traffic, one may have to wait for hours before another car comes along to help them out.

Instead of relying on the kindness of strangers, many have taken to keeping a jump starter in their trunk at all times. Jump starters are portable, charged devices that contain enough power to start a car. This allows you to be completely self sufficient and get back on the road quicker.
A portable vehicle jump starting device can be handy if your car has a dead battery. However, the jump starter won't do much good if it, too, is dead. Fortunately, most vehicle battery jump starters, sometimes referred to as battery chargers, come with several options to keep them charged. How you charge your specific battery jump starter will depend on the brand and item you purchased.
Step 1
Plug the battery jump starter into a regular wall outlet. Many car battery jump starters and chargers have standard plugs that can connect them to an electrical outlet. These batteries charge using electricity, so the process is similar to plugging your cell phone into its wall-charger.
Step 2

Use your vehicle's A/C adapter. You can charge many car battery jump starters by attaching them to the the A/C adapter (cigarette lighter) on your vehicle. Similar to charging a cell phone in a car, the jump starter can draw enough power from your A/C outlet to keep a full charge and will be ready when you need it.
Use solar power. Though they are not very common, there are solar-powered car battery chargers that can be used to power your car battery jump starter. These are not typically portable, but they do work for stationary battery charging and jumping.
Tip
- Check the power level on your car battery jump starter frequently to ensure it has enough charge to jump your battery when you need it.
