Get Ready for Car Jump Start (a Useful Checklist to Keep With the Cables)
Battery cables saved my day numerous times. Hard to remember the order to connect them (plus, minus, which car?).
This instructable will make you ready for such unexpected events (or to provide help), by having a jump-lead pack consisting of the cables, plus a one-pager with concise instructions.
It will help only in the event that the battery is simply discharged. If the battery or the dynamo is dead, it will not help.
It is assumed that you are familiar with the usage of jump-leads and only need a quick checklist. For more info see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle).
It is the one-pager document in step 2 that is central. The text has been reviewed (in fact, rephrased) by Lemonie.
