You can, but it’s not always safe, especially if you’re unsure of what you’re doing or if the battery is heavily corroded. Modern vehicles are also sensitive to electrical surges. Calling a professional battery jump service like TowSquad is the safest bet.

Our battery jump service is the safe, efficient solution to get you moving again. There is no need to wait around for a stranger with jumper cables or attempt a risky DIY fix.
Dead Car Battery? Here’s What You Should Do
A dead battery is one of the most common causes of unexpected breakdowns. If you turn the key and hear clicking, or if your dashboard lights flicker but the engine doesn’t crank, it’s probably a battery issue.
Here’s what you should do:
- Turn off all electrical components (lights, radio, AC)
- Make sure you’re parked safely out of traffic
- Call TowSquad for a jump-start
- Don’t try to jump your car with an old or unreliable set of cables
- Never attempt a jump in the rain or on a hybrid/electric vehicle without proper training
We provide dead car battery roadside assistance every day of the week. Our trained technicians will give your battery the power it needs or help arrange a replacement or tow if the battery is completely discharged.
What’s Included in Our Battery Jump Service
- On-site arrival within 20 to 30 minutes (depending on location)
- Diagnostic check to confirm battery failure
- Safe, efficient jump start using professional-grade equipment
- Guidance on whether your battery needs charging, replacement, or further inspection

Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Battery Boosts
If you drive a Tesla, Prius, or any hybrid or EV, your vehicle still uses a 12-volt battery to power essential systems. If that battery dies, your car might not unlock or start, even if the main battery is full.
Our team knows how to safely boost EVs and hybrids without damaging sensitive electronics or triggering warning lights.
Driving a Tesla? We can boost your 12V system and get you moving again without needing a dealership visit.
