Dubai’s high temperatures are tough on car batteries. Many drivers face sudden battery failures during summer, leaving them stranded at home, work, or a parking lot. Knowing how to handle this situation safely can save you time, stress, and money.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to safely jump-start your car, what mistakes to avoid, and when it’s smarter to call for professional help instead of trying it yourself.
Heat may not seem harmful at first, but it’s actually one of the main reasons batteries fail faster in Dubai.
When exposed to extreme temperatures, the internal fluid inside the battery evaporates and weakens its ability to hold charge.
Common signs of a weak or failing battery include:
Slow engine start or clicking noise
Dimming headlights and dashboard lights
Battery warning light turning on
Electrical issues like weak AC or power windows
If you notice these symptoms, your battery might soon need attention or a jump start.
If you plan to do it yourself, follow these safety steps carefully:
Park both cars close, but make sure they’re not touching.
Switch off both ignitions and remove the keys.
Connect jumper cables correctly:
Red to the positive (+) terminal on the dead battery
Red to the positive (+) terminal on the working battery
Black to the negative (–) terminal on the working battery
Black to a metal surface on the car with the dead battery (not directly on the battery)
Start the working vehicle and wait two to three minutes.
Try starting your car. Once it runs, keep it on for at least 10 minutes to recharge the battery.
If your car still doesn’t start, don’t keep trying — it might cause electrical damage. This is when you should contact a professional car jump start service in Dubai.
Sometimes, the issue isn’t just a drained battery. You might have a weak alternator, corroded terminals, or a battery that’s simply too old to hold a charge. In these cases, a jump start will only work temporarily.
Here are a few simple ways to extend your battery’s life:
Park in shaded or covered areas whenever possible.
Get your battery checked every 6–12 months.
Avoid leaving electrical accessories on when the engine is off.
Keep your battery clean and free from corrosion.
Modern vehicles use complex electronics and ECUs (Engine Control Units). A wrong connection or sudden voltage surge can harm sensitive components. Professional technicians use surge-protected jump starters that deliver safe, controlled power to prevent damage.
So while DIY jump starting can work in some cases, calling an expert is usually safer — especially for newer cars.
