If you’re ever stranded on the side of the road with no power and no way to get your car battery recharged, you’ll need to find a way to wire an extension cord to a car battery. Here’s how:

  1. Cut the extension cord in half so that it’s about 12 feet long.
  2. Take one end of the shortened cord and connect it to the positive terminal on your car battery. The other end should be connected to the negative terminal on your car battery.
  3. Twist the ends of the cord together so that they form a loop. This loop should be about 8 feet long.
  4. Put the loop around your waist or around a sturdy post (like an old tree) and hold onto one end of the loop while you twist the other end around the post. You’re done!
