The correct connection method of booster cable mainly includes the following steps: 1. Make sure both vehicles are turned off and all unnecessary lights and accessories are turned off to avoid electrical accidents. 2. Open the engine compartment cover. If the battery has a protective cover, you need to remove the protective cover to expose the positive and negative terminals of the battery. 3. Confirm the positive and negative poles of the battery. If you cannot tell the difference, do not start charging. 4. Use a red connecting wire, connect one end to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle, and the other end to the positive terminal of the rescued vehicle. 5. Use a black connecting wire, connect one end to the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle, and the other end to the negative terminal of the rescued vehicle or the body. 6. After connecting the lines, start the engine of the rescue vehicle, and then start the engine of the rescued vehicle. After starting the vehicle, remove the cables in reverse order. 7. It should be noted that when connecting the battery cable, the positive pole should be connected first and then the negative pole. This order is to prevent accidental short circuit. At the same time, disassembly should also be carried out in this order. During operation, the positive and negative poles must not come into contact, otherwise it may cause a short circuit or even a fire. #Boostercable #Jumpercable #Batterycable

Electric vehicles are here to stay, but there are still many misconceptions about them. One of the most common questions we get is if it's safe to use a fire suppression system based on water mist. Most of us have been taught not to mix electricity and water. Water mist isn't considered conductive, and in addition, electric vehicles are constructed to withstand humidity, rain, road splash, and similar. These vehicles have a lot of protection for high-voltage components, and the vehicle's battery management system has safety features to protect from dangerous currents. Water-based mists also have a great cooling effect and are considered the most efficient fire suppressants for electric vehicles. Many believe that batteries in electric cars and buses catch fire all the time. While it is true that battery fires are serious and difficult to put out, research presented at the 2023 FIVE conference shows 50-60% of EV-fires never even involve the battery. Fogmaker protects EVs through preventing a fire from reaching the battery, and if a battery should catch fire anyway, the system cools it and gives time to evacuate the vehicle.

Important insights on EV fire safety. Check out how EVSE is addressing risks and ensuring chargers meet the highest safety standards.
The Truth about Electric Vehicle Chargers and Fires 🔥 At EVSE, we frequently hear concerns about the fire risks associated with Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their chargers. There’s a lot of noise and misinformation out there, making it easy for these fears to spread. But how much of it is actually true? Aristides Nikolopoulos, our Head of Engineering, decided to sit down with Alister Curtain, a fire engineer from ADP Consulting, to get to the bottom of these concerns and dive in to the facts. We wanted to understand the real risks and, more importantly, the safety measures in place to keep EV owners and charger operators safe. What we found is reassuring: with the right precautions and certified equipment, EVs and their chargers are incredibly safe. Don’t let myths hold you back from embracing the future of transportation. 🚘💡 Check out our latest video where we break down everything you need to know about EV fire safety and why driving electric is safer than ever.
🚗 Understanding Your Battery Cable 🚗 Your vehicle's performance relies heavily on a small but crucial component: the battery cable. This essential connector is responsible for transmitting power from your battery to the vehicle's electrical system, ensuring everything from your headlights to your engine starter works seamlessly. Over time, wear and tear can degrade these cables, leading to potential power loss or electrical issues. Regular inspection and timely replacement of your battery cables can prevent unexpected breakdowns and maintain the optimal performance of your vehicle. Keep an eye on signs of corrosion, fraying, or damage to the cables. Early detection and maintenance ensure a longer life for your vehicle's electrical system and uninterrupted journeys. #BatteryCable #CarMaintenance #VehicleSafety #AutoRepair #ElectricalSystem #AutomotiveCare #VehiclePerformance #CarTips #AutoParts #AutomotiveMaintenance
The United States leads in Electric Vehicle (EV) fire safety measures, particularly in employing EV fire blankets to contain and minimise fire spread, as well as open burning incidents. South Metro Fire Rescue has integrated these blankets into their hazard response procedures, highlighting their effectiveness. They have one blanket on each fire truck ready for use. It's imperative for Australia to explore adopting similar strategies. These specialised blankets facilitate safe extraction of vehicles from buildings during fire incidents and provide temporary containment until the battery can be properly recycled. https://lnkd.in/gas6GVgZ https://lnkd.in/gEQtakHs
Do you remember the order of connecting vehicle battery cables? 🤷 If they aren't used properly, they can be dangerous. Here are the steps.
