I have fixed many vehicles with bad alternators

The more it stays there the bigger the chance for cornea damage.
If you suspect a bad connection on the jumper cables, do not wiggle the connector while connected. Disconnect one on the disabled car first then wiggle the suspect ones then reconnect the rest.

Remember you want to avoid making sparks.
After using the jumper cables wash them with water if possible and store them in the bag they came in.
Starting a car with the cables connected and letting it run could damage systems in either car. Things like computers etc. I have fixed many vehicles with bad alternators and computers due to this.

That is why I recommend charging the bad battery by letting the good car charge the bad one for at least 10 minutes. Then you can disconnect the cables and start the car with out damaging anything.

There's a theory that running two cars with the cables connected can damage the alternators. I will up date this article with some facts about this.
Another way to get a car running is by push starting it. This is not recommended either. First, damage to the drive train is possible, (Expensive) especially if done often. Second, as I mentioned

before, if the car doesn't run because the battery is dead, the alternator will work too hard to charge the battery when you get it started. If the problem is the alternator, the car won't run too

far at all because the battery is not getting any charge so it will be depleted very soon. Push start should be done only in extreme emergency situations. As I said, be intelligent and call an

expert.I hope the information here was of help to you. As always no one is perfect. If you think there's a mistake or want to add something to this article, by all means contact me directly.
Considering the low cost of replacing the battery with a new one and after reading this information I am pretty sure you will decide not to risk performing a jump instead of replacing the battery.

Unless of course, you are a professional and/or already know what I wrote here.it is better to leave things to the experts when it comes to dealing with them. You will actually save more money (or

even your own life) that way by avoiding costly mistakes.
