Connect the ground direct to the battery to have the best connection. The small wires in the cheap jumper cables make it take longer to jump start any other car.
Thanks for the video. I ruined my last set of batteries not being patient. Amazing how roadside guys don't know any of this. This video would've saved me alot of hassle if I had seen it last time. What battery tender so you recommend?
Charley thank you for the feedback. I'm glad the video helped. Just remember that that Sprinter battery is so big it will eat up all the juice from the booster car if you try to start so by leaving it connected you allowed the battery to charge and therefore gave you a better chance on starting the weak battery.
Hi Tommy, For charging purposes, you can charge under the hood at the jump ports, on my Sprinter I'm experiencing a large draw/short so I made an adaptor that plugs into the cigarette lighter port and I slow charge from there. Jumpstart only from under the hood. _Randomfix
I have always had to rev up the live car a lot then with it running fast start the Mercedes Sprinter van. When charging a battery on a vehicle I have always been taught to disconnect the battery else the charging will destroy the diodes in the alternator. .
Thank you! I watched just in case roadside assistance hasn’t jumped a Sprinter van before. God Bless!
Glad to help. Thank you for the feedback

You legit have saved my goose. I readjusted the connections and it started. Just letting it charge for a moment

I use a battery tender 5 amp.
This made no sense - but it worked. 30 minutes cables as he said. I hooked up box to battery like he said. I could not get second battery open (tool).

Hi . Do you know how long I have to warm up the sprinter? it is my first time buying this van diesel
Hi Edgar, I would warm up for about 10 minutes.
@@RANDOMFIX Thank you. My son bought me 2021 but I always have had gasoline van.
Nice, enjoy and I have a video for the oil change on the new 907 that now own. What motor do you have? The news have two variants of the diesel.
Sprinter 3500
3.0 diesel or 2.0 diesel high output?
Charge the battery under hood or seat???

Hi Paul, thanks for sharing and I'm sure there is so truth to all of our experiences and lucky I have damaged one vehicle but it possible.
You need decent thick jumper cables to do this with
Not the cheapo ones used with cars
Agreed and thank you sharing
Awesome
