Before you heckle me - no I’m not stupid, and under normal circumstances I usually would turn the car off. In this particular instance, however, my car battery died because I was away for 6 weeks, and there’s not enough gas for me to take it on the highway and get to where I need to go tomorrow (after I try jumping the car). Since if i turn the engine off there’s a large likelihood that the car will die and won’t turn back on again, turning the car off while I fill my tank isn’t a very viable option. Can I get away with it one time, or will I ruin my engine or blow up my car?
If it makes a difference - 2020 Land Rover discover (sport). If that’s not viable, what are my other options for charging my car up enough with only <30 miles in the tank so that I’ll be able to also refuel my car without the battery going out?
Thanks!
Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a little jump pack and keep it in your vehicle. Don’t mess with cables or other cars again.
The problem with jump packs is they seem to be dead whenever I need to use them. So I keep it charging at home and then it’s not in the car. I think im just gonna recycle mine.
I assume you can plug them into some outlet in the trunk so they stay topped up
I just have periodic reminder on my phone to charge it, and leave my keys on top of it so I remember to put it back in the car
