Yesterday my car battery failed on me. I forgot to turn off my headlights last night while I was at work. When I tried starting my car I couldn't hear a noise or even a click to let me know that current is flowing.
Lo' and behold, it won't start. I started looking for someone who has a jumper cable so that I could start it up but my searching failed. Luckily one of my former NAM team mates Brian Arica had his car parked right in front of mine, I hurriedly call my brother-in-law to teach me what should I do.
He told me that I need to get a good known working battery, Brian has a 2SMF while I have 1SNF. He told me to tap connect my wires to the correct poles and start the car. It worked like a charm, next thing he told me to do is to remove the positive wire and make sure that it won't contact/ touch any metal part for this would cause a short circuit. After removing the positive wire I then removed the negative wire and reconnected them red/ positive comes first and soon enough I was heading back home.
Right after changing my outfit I immediately took the car battery to our good old battery charging friend for Php 60.00 they charged it all up and it is now working.
