When jump-starting a vehicle, it is possible be seriously injured or cause severe damage to a vehicle if it is not done properly.  Most vehicles have a lead acid starter battery that contains sulfuric acid and can release hydrogen gas during normal charging and discharging cycles.

Therefore, it is important to know how to properly jump-start the vehicle to prevent injury or damage to persons or property.
