How long should I jump start my car for?
If your car does start, let it run for a few minutes to help charge the battery further. Unhook the clamps in the reverse order of how you put them on.

Avoid placing it on the engine as it might fall off when the engine starts. Once the battery pack is connected, switch on the pack and attempt to start the vehicle as you normally would. If it doesn’t start after a few attempts, it might be more serious than a flat battery.

How long does a car last after a jump start?
Every time he had the oil changed over the last year, the dealership would test the battery and the test showed the battery needed to be replaced. Even though it was fully-charged, it didn’t have the 750 cold cranking amps for which the battery was rated. It still had enough to turn over the engine, but it was definitely on it’s way out.
What should I do if my car JumpStart does not match?
If they do not match, serious damage can occur to both vehicles. Park the cars close enough for the cables to reach, but they should not touch. Turn the engine off in the car with the good battery. Unplug any accessories (like cell phone chargers); the power surge generated by the jumpstart can short them out.

Rev the engine slightly. This may build a charge in the dead battery and allow you to restart. If these steps do not work after three or four more tries, stop trying to jump-start. The battery may be shorted internally, or the dead car may have other electrical problems besides the battery.
