Do you need to learn how to jumpstart a car or find another way to charge a car battery? Generally, there are four ways to charge a car battery. Below are instructions on car battery charging and maintenance.

Even though this article isn't really about hybrids, I can't help but recommend that you check out Gas4Free, which shows you how to get 2 or 3 times your current gas mileage using water. It's an investment that will pay off.

1. Using Your Car: Your car should charge the battery whenever it is running. Every car has an alternator that produces electricity whenever the car is running because a belt connects a pulley on the alternator to a pulley on the flywheel. If your car battery dies while you are driving down the road, the alternator may not be producing electricity to charge the battery. If you have a car with a manual transmission, you may be able to push start the car to get it running. Driving around for about 30 minutes should charge the battery enough to bring it back to life. In order to conserve electricity, try to turn off any electrical equipment that you do not need, such as radios and lights. This will help direct as much electricity into the battery as possible.
2. Jump Start: If you have an automatic transmission, a good option may be to jump start your car. (Caution: A charging battery produces hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is explosive, so allow proper ventilation and take all necessary steps to reduce the chance of sparks.) Here's how:
car battery charging
1. Park a running car close enough to the car with a dead battery to attach the jumper cables. Turn off all unnecessary electronics, and turn off the ignition on both cars. Be careful that the two cars are not touching.
2. Clamp the "+" (red) clamp to the + terminal of the dead vehicle.
3. Clamp the "+" (red) clamp to the + terminal of the working car.
4. Clamp the "-" (black) clamp to the - terminal of the working car.
5. Clamp the "-" (black) clamp to an unpainted metal surface of the dead car to provide a solid ground connection. Do not clamp it to the "-" terminal of the dead car. Make sure that the cables will not be in the way of any moving parts.
