Connect the positive lead’s (red) one end to the jump-start terminal of the Audi A8’s flat battery (terminal under cap = “positive”) in Figure 2 (Fig. 1).
the positive terminal -2 of the boosting battery (A) with the other end of the positive lead (red).
Negative lead (black) should have one end connected to the negative terminal (-3) of the boosting battery (A).
The jump-start terminal -4- (terminal with hexagon = “negative”) of the Audi A8 with the flat battery -B- should be connected to the other end of the negative lead (black).
With the aid of the boosting battery, turn on the Audi A8’s engine and allow it to idle.
Do not run the starter for more than 10 seconds if the engine won’t start. Retry after around 30 seconds have passed.
Disconnect the leads exactly the opposite way they were connected when the engine was off.
- The battery clamps’ non-insulated components must not be permitted to touch. The Audi A8 must not have any metal parts in contact with the jump lead connecting to the positive battery terminal as this could result in a short circuit.
- Avoid stooping over the batteries to avoid acid burns!
- The battery cells’ screw plugs must be tightly screwed in.
- Keep lit cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from batteries because the gases they release can trigger an explosion.
- Position the jump leads so that they cannot come into contact with any moving components in the other Audi A8’s engine compartment when jump-starting it.
Please be aware that the leads should only be connected in the manner described above if you need to jump start your Audi A8. If you want to jump start another Audi A8, you shouldn’t attach the negative lead () to the discharged battery’s negative terminal; instead, connect it directly to the engine block or a bolted-on piece of solid metal. There is a chance that a buildup of oxygen and hydrogen gas in the other Audi A8’s battery could result in an explosion if it lacks a gas outlet.
- To prevent gases from entering the Audi A8’s cabin, the battery is vented to the outside.
- The battery clamps should be connected such that the battery terminals are in good metal-to-metal contact.

How is an Audi A6 jumpstarted?
Connect the positive lead’s (red) one end to the jump-start terminal of the Audi A6 with the flat battery (figure 2, terminal beneath red cap = “positive”).
The jump-start terminal -4- (terminal with hexagon = “negative”) of the Audi A6 with the flat battery -B- should be connected to the other end of the negative lead (black).
With the aid of the boosting battery, turn on the Audi A6’s engine and allow it to idle.
- The battery clamps’ non-insulated components must not be permitted to touch. The Audi A6 must not have any metal parts in contact with the jump lead connecting to the positive battery terminal as this could result in a short circuit.

If you want to jump start another Audi A6, you shouldn’t attach the negative lead () to the discharged battery’s negative terminal; instead, connect it directly to the engine block or a bolted-on piece of solid metal. There is a chance that an explosion could occur if a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen gas builds up in the other Audi A6’s battery as it lacks a gas outlet.
- To prevent fumes from entering the Audi A6’s cabin, the battery is vented to the outside.
Tip #2:
When jumpstarting your car, be careful to adhere to the owner’s manual’s directions. Every automobile is unique. Believe us. We’re experts.
Attention: Under no circumstances should you attempt to connect any unsecured wires. Leave the dangerous stuff to us unless you are a trained technician. It’s incredibly simple to short out pricey computer components and put yourself in danger if the wiring is handled improperly.
What is the proper method for connecting jumper cables?
Once the two cars are in position, switch them both off and raise the hoods. First, connect the red jumper cables. One red cable should be clamped to the positive side of the battery that won’t start to begin with. Then, secure the other red clamp to the working battery’s positive side.
Next, secure a single black cable to the functional battery’s negative terminal. Don’t connect the other black clamp to the dead battery when you’re ready to attach it. Instead, look for a metal piece in the engine block of your car where you may securely fasten it.
How is a battery for an Audi A8 charged?
-2- At the positive terminal, raise the cap. Connect the charger wires to the jump-start terminals in the proper order (terminal with cap = “positive,” terminal with hexagon = “negative”) Now turn on the battery charger after connecting it to the mains.
Where is the battery on an Audi A8 from 2008?
Dear Drew: The Audi A8’s battery is situated on the passenger side of the trunk. If you were to collide with another vehicle from the front, such design would shield you from battery acid burns. In a small collision in 1973, it happened to me (my fault.) My battery detonated as a result of the angle at which I struck the other man, covering my legs in battery acid. A perfectly nice pair of double-knit bell bottoms were wrecked by it. Happy new year from Bovan.
How can a car be jump-started?
How to Start a Car on Your Own
- Park with the cars facing one another.
- Locate the batteries by lifting the hoods on each.
- A battery’s positive and negative terminals can be located.
- Connect the red clamp to the dead battery’s positive post.
- Connect the other red clamp to the functional battery’s positive post.
