What To Do When Your Car Battery Dies

1. Stay Calm

Your first step is to stay calm. A dead battery is a common issue, and it's not the end of the world. Take a deep breath; we've got this!

2. Diagnose the Issue

When you turn the key, do your lights, radio, or other electronics work? If they do, your battery might not be completely dead.

3. Try a Jump Start

If your lights work, you can try jump-starting your car. Find a friend with a running car, grab some jumper cables, and follow these steps:

• Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of your dead battery.
• Connect the other red clamp to the positive terminal of the working battery.
• Connect the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal of the working battery
• Attach the other black clamp to an unpainted metal part of your car (not the dead battery).
• Start the working car and let it run for a few minutes.
• Try to start your car. If it works, your battery needs a boost.

4. Call for Help
