K-Mart or SuperCrap jumper leads? A waste of $9.95
(spend the money on a jug of beer & a packet of chips
- at least then you will feel satisfied when the car won't start)
Try putting the good battery in & then starting it.

if the battery is really flat you may need to wait a few minutes with her car running, then give it a crank. look at the reason why its flat - if its just because you have left it long then thats fair enough but if not your alternator is more than likely not doing its job |

If the jumper leads came apart at the handles , strip the end of the wire back and use the clamp/handle/oversized aligator clips of the jumper lead to hold the bare cable onto the batter to start it and make sure it runs . Once it's going and you've gone for rego , throw the old jumper leads out and get a new set . |

by theory you shouldnt jump any car with jumper cable on -ve to -ve it should be -ve source to earth on the flat battery car. But still I dont follow this  just takes a little longer.
Hope you got you car started.... |
