PEP BB homesteading.straw.start - Jump start a vehicle

The Kubota hasn't run for a while and between that and the cold weather, the battery doesn't have enough juice to crank it.  So I jump started it.

Picture showing the dead battery voltage with a volt meter:


Video showing it won't crank:


Video of the vehicles with jumper cables connected:


Video of the dead vehicle running (part of the video image is obscured to cover jump vehicle license plate):


Picture of the new voltage of the battery on the running vehicle:

To complete this BB minimum requirements are:

       - The vehicle starts
       - The battery begins to charge(voltage changes)
       - The voltage is shown before and after the jump start (with a voltage meter)

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must post pictures of the following:

       - Picture showing the dead battery voltage with a volt meter
       - Picture of the vehicles with jumper cables connected (or mostly connected if it's safer/easier to get the picture that way)
       - Picture of the dead vehicle running (please show the instrument cluster)
       - Picture of the new voltage of the battery on the running vehicle

Had to jump start the truck today. We always keep a portable jump starter plugged in and ready to go. My neighbor did stop to see if I needed help when she saw the hood of the truck was up so I felt pretty covered.

The multimeter before jump starting.


The portable jump starter attached to the battery.


It started! Huzzah!


The voltmeter after jump starting (while the truck is running). This was the most difficult picture to get while trying to hold the multimeter prongs against the bolts on the battery.
