Flat car battery: what to do
The car won't start and you only hear a click? Probably a flat battery. Here's what to do.
Check the signs
Dim lights, repeated clicking and a dashboard that switches off are signs of a flat battery.
Jump leads, safely
Connect red to red (positive) and black to a metal earth point on the dead car, never to the negative terminal of the flat battery. Start the good car first, then the dead one.
If it still won't start
The battery may need replacing or it may be the alternator. Call us: we assess it and, if needed, send assistance.
FAQ
Do I need to drive after jump-starting?
Yes: keep the engine running or drive for at least 20–30 minutes so the battery recharges.
