Left me top sign on overnight and got a flat battery. No real problem but looking at manual for my 56 plate TX4 it contradicts itself. The pic shows the leads connected to donor battery as + to - & - to +, the wording says connnect + to + but - to somewhere on bulkhead, but then in the instructions to disconnect it refers to the - being connected to the donor battery and to my vehiclebattery, both via the - lugs. In short does anyone jump their TX4 on a regular basis and if so how do you connect the jump leads. Ta. |

Just jump it as normal as in red to red black to black,loads of manuals say black/negative to chassis |

I think this idea of clipping a lead to the bodywork instead of the battery and making it the last lead to connect and the first to disconnect,was to make sure any sparking would occur away from the batteries and minimise any danger of ignitingf any gas either of the batteries is giving off. |

you wont beat terminal-terminal connections to ensure a good clamp+connection BTW, not many "jump" leads qualify to carry full cranking ampage (which is why they can get hot) put the red-red(+/pos) and black-black(-/neg) battery-battery start the donor vehicle and rev it to 1200rpm, holding the RPM, this will add charge to the dead battery at 30-40amps, after 5 minutes try the non-starter car at tickover the donor vehicle isnt putting any leccy into the dead car i used to have a home made set of leads using really thick cables and welding clamps, 20ft long, they coulda started concorde, lost em somewhere |
