Is it bad to wait after my car battery dies to jump start it? I do not have access to another car at the moment to jump it and do not want to call AAA

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

Other than having a dead battery, it really should not hurt. However, I will say that as the battery dies, you may experience electrical issues. Components not working right and ultimately, the engine may stall.

Let me know if you need help with diagnosing the problem or if you already know it is the battery.


Take care,
Joe
