Flat battery

[cjwatson]

Does anyone have experience with jump-starting cars, and would anyone around Cambridge be willing to help me do so tonight or tomorrow morning? I have the full set of cables and stuff, although random googling suggests I ought to be looking for goggles too. I'll owe you a drink or three ...

Re: Dangerous?

Certainly isn't dangerous :)

It's something I've done many times over the past few years after being too tight fisted to replace the battery and then :-
a) leaving lights on overnight
b) having children turning lights on and not noticing
c) having the wife leave the lights on for about an hour
d) failing to start the car in the required 30 seconds before the battery went flat.

I got a new battery after d.
