[Closed] Jump starting car with leads

I liked that 🙂

Takes me back to my days of using Lucas products on various old British Cars.

Their lighting divisions motto;

"Lucas - Prince of Darkness"

always had the ring of authenticity about it.

I knew them as "bringers of darkness", but yours is probably better.

Saw a landie in the states with "why do the Brits drink warm beer? Because they have lucas refrigerators" as a bumper sticker

Connecting the -ve clip to a suspension turret bolt or engine lug forces the current from the healthy battery directly through the dead car. It's the starter motor that needs the instant oomph more than the dead battery.
