It happens to the best of us. We leave the radio or the lights on in the car overnight and wake up the next morning to find that the battery has gone flat just at the moment when we most need the car. If your battery does go completely flat, then you will need to charge it. You can do this in one of several ways.

There is never a convenient time for your car battery to run flat, but it always seems to happen when you need to be somewhere in a hurry.

If you don’t have time to get hold of a battery charger and fully charge your car battery from the mains, then jump starting your vehicle is probably the quickest and most efficient way of getting yourself back on the road. All you will need is a set of jump leads and a friendly driver with a few minutes to spare and a fully charged battery.
