Dead battery revival
A car jump is the act of starting a vehicle with a dead battery by connecting it to another power source—typically another car's battery using jumper cables.
Also called a jump start.
My battery died, so I had to get a car jump from a neighbor.
The phrase also describes a stunt where a vehicle launches off a ramp and travels through the air.
