what to do when your 12 volt battery fails and you're stranded
well it's a simple answer you can actually jump start your test line
I either use a 12-volt battery charger something that's commonly called a jump
box which is a 12 volt battery with jumper cables use jumper cables and jump
it off of a internal-combustion vehicle
although if you do that i recommend not having the internal-combustion vehicle
started it should not take much power from that vehicle to get your your Tesla
back up and running it just has a sense that the voltage is high enough and then
and then it should not be enough to cause the internal-combustion vehicle to
not start and if it does
chances are that batteries failing in that ice ice vehicle
so anyways first how to remove in those comb
I found these mines easily removed with something like credit cards
I found some of the newer credit cards are not they're making a thinner more
flimsy so I actually always carry my casino players cards and eat and these
suckers are thick
let's take
I don't know
the life you know it's gold coast
it's just to go check to see how can we use a couple of them
really helps it a little more Kiev if you can double them up
let's try two cards and a good spot
i usually start with this right here
the budget gently no damage
yeah
pull up
pull out
you're no stone dislike
you got nothing
actually using the cards
the best way to do it without damaging but it's also one of the more difficult
things
very careful
good driver detection
yeah
figures in there
turn the camera just a bit for you guys
of course nice again
uses these little metal clips you would ride out
started the actually just watched my beautiful all right let's move the
camera again
focus the magic spot here
all right now you will see 2 posts
one with the red that's your positive
one with the black that's the negative the black is actually welded fault well
the great to the the frame is it's even though it's not a ice cards still a
negative ground frame for the 12-volt system
nice steel bumper to bumper reinforcement excuse me
then we have this red terminal here for the that goes to be positive
still can't believe it and put a nice little cap on there but whatever
so then we take i'm going to be demonstrating with her booster box
now usually using a pretty much any method usually one do positive clamp
first
negative plan
all right so I got a boost box connected I'd wait about a minute then you go
around open the car sitting it
put your foot on the brake and hopefully she wakes up and once that center
console woken up
I should be good to go just don't shut any of your dr don't shut your driver's
side door until you're in it and ready to take off just to be on the safe side
otherwise of the car shuts off you might have to jump it all over again
but once the car is woken up it should begin the dc-to-dc converter should
begin the charging cycle at least putting something back into the that 12
volt battery and once that started that you know even if the bad 12 volt
batteries failed there should be enough power through the dc-to-dc converter to
keep the vehicle in a operable condition and at least once it's is started
running the you were supposed to stay running until you park the vehicle again
so if you're within range of a open service center
I'd recommend just going straight to a service center or if you're within range
of home go home and call up but Tesla roadside sport immediately and make
arrangements for the replacement or service of some sort of the 12 volt
battery now one nice thing at least with my jump box is
Scott safety on the back here
this to me
actually have a safety switch here
if you're lucky enough to have a jump box like this handy
keep it in the off position to tell you clamp the clamps on is just a safety
factor keeps any kind of sparks from happening which shouldn't cause any
issues with the Tesla but that you want
internal combustion engine you got so many flammable liquids everywhere and
then once you got it connected up then flip it to the on position i highly
recommend doing it that way if you do happen to be jump starting out internal
combustion
vehicle as we picked up at the clamps to the battery post there could be a spark
and we want to avoid any sparks but so what
those phone back on
similar to how it was removed line up the clips and gently go around the whole
nose cone gently pressing it in getting all the clips to fully lock into their
places
that's it you're done
