Thanks for watching and your message. Some cable clamps are definitely better than others. My old set would struggle to hold onto anything. Good luck with your car 🚙
Hey great video :) Can you tell me if another car has to be turned on while swapping the batteries or is it enough to just connect the cars with the jumper cables?
Hi Stefan. Thanks for the question. You don’t need the other car to be on, just connect to the battery via cables for continuity of supply. Hope that helps.
Hi. Thanks for watching and the message. I would think so but having not tried it I wouldn’t want to say for sure. If you try and it works then please share. All the best
@@diyhomeandgardening I did the above yesterday and worked as well as connecting another battery. Everything was saved with no issued (2008 1.8 Ford Focus Titanium)
@@diyhomeandgardening Just got done a little bit ago, and it worked like a charm. Radio settings, bluetooth connection for phone, clock etc.. Like I never touched it.. First thing I noticed was the alarm didn't go off when connecting the new battery, then I noticed the clock still had the correct time.. Thanks again...
You are not running the vehicle so the alternator isn’t kicking in to effect the loading. Also, you are disconnecting one battery that is not holding proper charge straight after connecting the second. So long as you don’t connect to a battery being charged by an alternator you are fine, as is the car system which is load protected.
He connected them in parallel (2nd batt neg to neg original batt, pos to pos on batteries), which keeps the 12v and increases Ah or cranking power. To increase to 24v you connect in series. Can be other way around, but for eg original battery neg leave in its current connection location, then its pos goes to the 2nd batteries NEG.. Then 2nd batt pos connects to vehicle power.
I was impressed how the clips stayed on. I can see them slipping off. Nice video!

@@diyhomeandgardening Thank you very much sir!
@@stefanmanojlovic1582 no problem. Hope it helped. All the best
Could same be done but using a battery booster?

@@aidyFF nice one with the experiment and thanks for sharing the success 👍👍
Great! I have a little 12v battery pack that I can hook up to my car. Thanks for the video...
Good luck with the swap over 🛠️🪴

@@Ottonic6 Dano, glad it all worked well for you.
Have a good day 👍
The plastic covers are primarily to protect against accidental short circuit, not water
Thanks for watching and messaging. Correct in they are to protect from short circuit and damage of all kind to the terminals
So you put 24v through a12v system?

That's not how it works, the battery would need to be connected in series to be 24 volts
@@jonathankatz9471Also you would need 2 fully charged batteries in series to produce that voltage.
@@diyhomeandgardening spot on

Not just radio station. But whole computer system including tyranny.
PS need to put steering wheel on the left side of cabin
Thanks for the message. So you drive on the wrong side of the road then😂😂
Hope it works for you.
