Battery cables

Immediate consequence, no battery in the vehicle and impossible to start it! In these cases, there is only one thing to do, connect the battery to someone else’s in order to restart the engine. To do this, you need battery cables!
Indispensable although I hope you never use them, these cables could save your life! So a tip, always keep them in your trunk, just in case! As a reminder, don’t forget to connect the + with the red terminal and the – with the black terminal. Also, don’t forget that not all cars are compatible! Starting a gasoline engine with a diesel engine is possible, but starting a diesel engine with a gasoline engine is not!
