Booster Cables

Booster cables consist of a pair of insulated wires with alligator clips at both ends. These interconnect a vehicle to a vehicle, or vehicle to another power source (like a battery) to ‘jump start’ or boost the vehicle. This is commonly done when one vehicle has a flat or discharged battery. Once the battery has been started, the vehicle’s normal charging system will kick in. Booster cables are also commonly known as jumper cables and jump leads. Booster cables are an essential piece of equipment for any vehicle owner in case of emergency when your car refuses to start.
