Jump-starting vehicles is a process used to start an internal combustion engine when the vehicle's battery is dead or too weak to operate the starter motor. It typically involves connecting a functioning power source, such as another vehicle's battery or a portable jump starter, to the incapacitated vehicle's battery using jumper cables or portable devices.
