Jump Starting Newer Vehicles

In fact, if your car is a 2000 or newer model, it most likely has a lot of electric components such as computers in it that make jump starting a car the old fashioned way a bigger risk. It is possible that using booster cables on the two cars could cause damage to one or both of the vehicle's computer systems. That is why is crucial that you always read your car's manual before attempting a jump.

This is where the newer portable jump starters come to the rescue.
