Put away the jumper cables and call a wrecker. A damaged battery can explode and really hurt you. If the battery looks ok, then park the cars close enough to each other for the jumper cables to reach and shut off both engines. Now make sure the terminals are not caked with corrosion. Try to clean them off as best you can.

A corroded terminal will make it a lot harder to jump the battery. At this point you are ready to hook up your jumper cables to the batteries. (Normally, the red cable is (+) positive and black cable is (-) negative)They must be connected in this exact order:1. Connect one end of the (+) positive cable to the (+) positive terminal on the dead battery.2. Connect the other end of the (+) positive cable to (+) positive terminal on the good battery.3. Connect one end of the (-) negative cable to (-) negative terminal on the good battery.4. Connect the other end of the (-) negative cable to the engine block of the dead car. You are ready to start up the good car's engine and charge the dead battery. First of all, shut off all electrical equipment on the good car.

(head lights, radio, etc.) Let the good car's engine run for a minute or so before you attempt to start the dead one. Now get in the dead car and attempt to crank it. If it sounds like it wants to start but won't quite get there, give it some more time and try again. When the dead has started and is running, it is time to remove the jumper cables. This must be done in reverse order.

Here are the steps:1. Disconnect (-) negative cable from the engine block on dead car.2. Disconnect (-) negative cable from the (-) negative terminal on the good battery.3. Disconnect (+) positive cable from the (+) positive terminal on the good battery.4. Disconnect (+) positive cable from the (+) positive terminal on the dead battery.After the dead car has been running for a while, turn it off. See if will start on its own. If it does, you should be ok on the drive home. If not, jump it again and have someone follow you home. When you arrive at home, you can then put a battery charger on it all night and see if it cranks in the morning..

By making comprehensive battery health information quickly and easily accessible as well as cost effective, auto technicians can now anticipate battery failure - helping valued customers avoid unnecessary auto problems due to dead batteries.With the AA500, its now fast and convenient to proactively test the battery of every vehicle that comes into my shop, something Ive never been able to do, commented Bryan Bryer, owner of Central Garage. In less than 15 seconds, I have enough information to tell my customer its time to replace the cars battery rather than wait for the battery to fail leaving my customer stranded then forced to find a jumpstart or tow. Argus has come up with a battery testing tool that is affordable enough for me to put in every bay at my garage. Argus Analyzers hand-held line employs two patented new test technologies, Crank-CheckTM and High Frequency Impedance, which overcome the critical shortcomings of conventional battery analysis technology." Crank-Check analyzes the batterys performance during an actual starting sequence, providingreal-time information about the starting capacity of the battery relative to the actual load." High Frequency Impedance (HFI) technology measures the internal resistance of the battery. It is similar to existing conductance test approaches, with a few important exceptions: the test can be performed while a battery is in use, eliminating the need to effectively take the battery offline to test. The Argus HFI test is faster, and not confused by interference from vehicle or charger systems.

Additionally HFI is highly accurate over a large range of battery sizes from 30 CCA to over 2000 CCA."Argus' Crank-Check technology provides the most accurate assessment of a battery's cranking health, Bryer continues. There is just no other product out there that gets me this critical battery performance data. The HFI approach to determining battery capacity is the fastest and most accurate available. The technology is so robust we can test battery capacity without worrying about interference from either the vehicle or charger systems. This saves us time, money and eliminates annoying and costly misdiagnoses.

The Argus battery testers provide the information our technicians need to truly understand how a battery is performing so they can make informed and proactive recommendations to their customers. This is a huge improvement over the limited pass/fail results offered by technology in the past."Argus Analyzers hand-held line features four models including the AA 200, 300, 400, and 500--starting at $99--for applications ranging from cars, trucks, and boats, to industrial equipment, telecom equipment and electric vehicles.About Argus AnalyzersBased in Jamestown, Rhode Island, Argus Analyzers www.argusanalyzers.com is composed of an innovative team of scientists, engineers, and manufacturing and marketing professionals with extensive experience in battery and power technology.

The news is not so good if you have a first- or second-generation iPod: You can choose between a check for $25 or a $50 store credit to use on Apple products (excluding iTunes). Well, at least that's something. But you're still stuck with your dead battery. What can you do? The simple (and costly) approach would be to go with Apple's iPod Out-of- Warranty Battery Replacement Program.Send in your dead iPod along with a check for $99 plus $6.95 shipping and you'll receive an equivalent new or refurbished model with a fresh battery in one to three weeks. Besides paying more than three times the cost of a battery, which can be obtained online for around $30, you're not even guaranteed you'll receive your exact iPod back in the mail.

Why not avoid all of Apple's service fees? You really can replace the battery on your own: We'll show you how. Sure, you'll void the warranty in the process, but isn't that part of the fun?Visit http://www.goto-site.com/best-buy/replace-ipod-battery.html for complete instructions and step by step pictures..
