Car Jumpstart — common questions
Q.How long should I drive after a jumpstart?
Ideally 30–45 minutes of continuous driving, not stop-start town use. But if the battery is old and the alternator can't get it above 12.6V at rest, it'll go flat again in days.
Q.How long does a car jumpstart take?
From arrival, most jobs are done in 15–20 minutes including a full electrical health check. If we're fitting a new battery we're usually finished inside 40 minutes.
Q.Will jumpstarting damage my car's electronics?
Not with a proper lithium pack. The old risk with jump leads and a running donor car was voltage spikes — modern lithium packs are regulated and safe on any car including hybrids.
Q.Do you work on hybrids and mild-hybrids?
Yes — a hybrid still has a 12V auxiliary battery that starts everything. Toyota, Lexus, Honda and MHEV Ford/Vauxhall are all fine.
