Many people boosting a car battery in the dead cold of winter or especially
with a battery with no power from leaving your headlights on in the warm summertime
do not know or appreciate that an auto battery can explode with one single
spark leaving the person blinded. Yet try to tell these people and they will
wave you away in the parking lot. Watch them as you advise "Ensure that
you make the last connection on the dead battery, not the live one". They
will nod and wave you away - as they make that last and fateful connection with
the battery booster cable clamp on guess what - the dangerous charged (not
dead) battery. What can a helpful soul do other than leaving the area quickly
before the battery potentially explodes spewing strong acid battery around? Here
are some tidbits from the top car battery boost service to share with.
It seems that most people and
automobile owners fail to appreciate just how dangerous an ordinary standard
auto battery can be. Working around batteries can be simply dangerous and deadly
because they give off explosive hydrogen sulfide gasses and contain powerful
corrosive Sulphuric acid as well. Exploding batteries have killed, injured and
blinded poor souls who should have paid heed to warnings and in many cases
fully known better.

When you are using battery booster
cables to start another vehicle- take great care, first of all, to ensure that
the autos - especially metal components and parts are not touching. Not all
bumpers, especially in the case of trucks and Sport Utility SUV vehicles use
only plastic-covered bumpers. Top car battery boost service professionals make
sure that the final electrical connection, to complete the circuit is with the
uncharged automobile not with the charged one. Sure you want to boost or start
the dead car or truck. Yet make sure and insist no matter what the owner or
on-site expert says that the final connections are with that dead vehicle and
not the one with the charged (and potentially with dangerous hydrogen sulfide
gasses lingering around the fully charged unit).
Experienced mechanics from top car battery boost service and auto towing will often advise that the final connection be with the negative (black) cable clamp ( not the red positive one) and if possible clamp that black ( negative ) battery boost cable clamp onto a piece of metal of the auto frame rather than on the battery terminal itself. This way if a spark arises it is safely far away from the battery to ignite the dangerous hydrogen gasses.
Better safe than sorry when it comes to working around auto battery failures.
