Bestseller No. Methodology Forbes Wheels examined more than 15 jumper cables and considered evaluations by critics and end users.
We also evaluated key features. The five selected here represent the best combinations of price, performance, cable length, cable construction, wire thickness gauge , and special features such as polarity protection in case you mistakenly cross the cables.
Our choices reflect what users tpically want. A or foot cable works in most situations if the two cars are side by side or nose to nose.
If the cars are one-behind-the-other, 20 or 25 feet is preferable, and some reach 30 feet. Some will want thicker, heavier cables to start big V8 or diesel engines. What Are Jumper Cables? Jumper cables , booster cables , or jumper leads all three terms describe the same product , let you get a jump start of your dead car battery.

Attach the other red end to the positive terminal of the donor car.
Attach the black cable to the negative terminal of the donor car. Connect the other end of the black cable NOT to the negative battery terminal but to an unpainted metal part of the engine compartment.
You may have to hunt around. Have bystanders step away from the engine compartments. Start the donor car, rev the engine a little, to 2,, rpm. Start the engine on the dead car. Once the dead-engine car starts, disconnect the cables in reverse order: Black cable on dead car comes off first, then black on good car, red on good car, red on dead car.
Keep the now-started car running at least 15 minutes. Give it a good tug. It takes more effort than the button or lever that opens the trunk. The hood will pop open a little.
