A jumper cable is the ideal tool to start your battery when it is dead. Thanks to a jumper cable, you can provide your dead battery with electrical power by connecting it to the battery of another vehicle. This allows you to start and drive your car anyway. 

When buying a set of jumper cables, it is very important to pay attention to the diameter of the cables. A diameter of only 16mm is only suitable for small petrol engines, diesel engines are heavier and therefore need a set of jumper cables with a larger diameter of 25 to 35mm. Some jumper cables are equipped with a safety device to protect the vehicle's electronics. Discover the different types of jumper cables below.
