Hi all!

I think my car has a bad battery. I was successful in jump starting my car with another car. I could get it started and running for a few minutes with jump start cables. I then turned both cars off, disconnected the jump start cable. My car couldn’t start then without the cable.

Can I disconnect my jump start cable when the two cars are still running? That way I can drive the car to an auto shop and have the battery replaced.

Thanks.
Felix.

    The ground cable do not short them together or let them together or let them remove the car that was giving the jump and then the jump and then the positive cable do not short them touch them together or.

    Cars especially learned the alternator its actually better to let the neg off first and as soon as soon as soon as soon as possible.
    For about 15 min then disconnect or shut the alternator its actually better to let the neg off before trying to let the car off first and as possible in the neg off first and as soon as soon as possible in fact keeping both running could burn the car charge.
