"smoking "from another car can, of course, temporarily solve your problem. However, it is important to find out the reason that led to the discharge of the battery.
There may be three reasons for this:
1. The battery may have been discharged from numerous attempts to start the engine or because the external lights were not turned off.
2. Faulty battery charging system [loose or broken alternator drive belt, or alternator wiring is faulty, or the alternator itself is faulty].
3. Faulty battery [low electrolyte density or damaged plates).
When starting the engine with a foreign battery, take the following precautions into account:
Before connecting a foreign battery, make sure that the ignition is turned off.
Make sure all electrical equipment is turned off (lights, heater, windshield wipers, etc.)
Make sure the foreign battery has the same voltage as yours.
If the battery of another vehicle is used as a bystander, the vehicles must not touch each other.
Make sure the transmission is in position "neutral" (or "PARK" in case of automatic transmission).
1. Connect one end of the red jumper wire to the positive (+) terminal of a discharged battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red wire to the positive (+) foreign battery terminal
3. Connect one end of the black jumper wire to the negative (-) foreign battery terminal
4. Attach the other end of the black wire to some engine bracket that needs to be started, away from the battery
5. Make sure the connecting wires do not touch the fan, drive belts or other moving parts of the engine.
6. Start the engine with a foreign battery. When the engine starts to run steadily at idle, disconnect the connecting wires in the reverse order of connection.
