I was asked to help "jump start" the Hybrid, the 12v battery only had 6.2v. Attached the jump leads to another cars and to the hybrids "jump"
terminals under the bonnet (battery inaccessible in the boot somewhere"
at first nothing happened, I expected the IC engine to start but all I
heard was a few clicks, we left the jump cables attached for a few
minutes just long enough to put a few volts into the battery, instead of starting the IC engine it just enabled the car to turn on so they were
then able to drive in electric mode.
I think that a lot of people are going to be left stranded by theseWhat was I saying about training? A mechanic's life is all about
types of vehicles because very few people know how they work, I think we
got it going mostly by luck, the owner is a motorcycle mechanic and he
was completely stumped.

Well, Dumber, lucky windscreen boy is here to educate you on the fact
that you don't need to be an expert to read a fucking manual. Section 9

LOL, so the first thing you do when someone asks you for help is to ask
them to hand you their owners manual which you then take 10mins reading while everyone is standing around scratching their heads?
I'd like to see that:-)
That's also assuming that the car actually has a hard copy owners
manual, many don't, some have a digital version built into the car which
is going to be difficult to read if the car won't turn on:-)

In the meantime whilst everyone else is reading owners manuals maybe he could read up on how a laminated windscreen is made:-)

Yep. My Ranger has a fairly comprehensive manual, but it's an electronic
one that's built into the display. No battery means no manual.

And even *then* he wouldn't get it. This is the moron who claims he had
to be "tested for his competency" in order to be granted a license, when
in reality all he ever had to do was present his trade papers and pay a
fee.
Pretty easy to see why Victoria has never bothered with such a bullshit system :)

In this case, an Outlander PHEV its in section 8.13 of the manual and
its says to just connect the jump cables then turn on the EV system,
that didn't work until we left them connected long enough to partly
charge the 12v battery, there was no mention in the manual of doing that
so reading the manual would not have helped.

start button can and will be subject to the same issue - battery
voltage is key. That *you* don't understand this comes as no surprise

flattened, the best advice is to remove the battery and charge it off
the vehicle. The reason for this procedure is that spikes can easily fry
the sensitive DC to DC converter, the sort of spikes you will get when connecting a fully charged battery to a dead one with jumper leads. For
that reason, and the fact that the auxilliary battery is not used to
operate a starter motor, it is advisable not to jump start a PHEV using
a heavy duty booster pack or a donor vehicle as you will be creating
nasty voltage spikes. All you need is a light duty jumper pack capable
of 50-100 amps like the one I have. What's more, they have voltage spike suppression.

that all too often in here. You'll note that Dumb didn't use either
resource to reference jump starting that vehicle just like how neither
Dumb or Dumber used the manual or Google to identify the correct lifting points on that Elise they nearly dropped off the hoist.

not used to operate a starter motor, it is advisable not to jump
start a PHEV using a heavy duty booster pack or a donor vehicle as
you will be creating nasty voltage spikes. All you need is a light
duty jumper pack capable of 50-100 amps like the one I have. What's
more, they have voltage spike suppression.
All the stuff he didn`t know yesterday!.

he doesn't get embarrassed by anything because he's too dumb to realize
he should be ashamed of much of what he posts here

Yep. His standard practice that he's been doing since he first blew in
here as Krypsis.
I was asked to help "jump start" the Hybrid, the 12v battery only had 6.2v. Attached the jump leads to another cars and to the hybrids "jump"
terminals under the bonnet (battery inaccessible in the boot somewhere"
at first nothing happened, I expected the IC engine to start but all I
heard was a few clicks, we left the jump cables attached for a few
minutes just long enough to put a few volts into the battery, instead of starting the IC engine it just enabled the car to turn on so they were
then able to drive in electric mode.
I think that a lot of people are going to be left stranded by these
types of vehicles because very few people know how they work, I think we
got it going mostly by luck, the owner is a motorcycle mechanic and he
was completely stumped.

That's what happens when cars are made by people who make video games instead of cars, they have no idea that they might need to be fixed one day. At least the Mitsubishi had jump connectors that were easily accessible.

all that was needed to avoid dismantling half the car was a socket to
plug in a battery charger, and they didn't bother to install one

Good question, my Boxster has a front "boot" and after owning it for 4
yrs I still don't know whats the best name for it, AFAIK Porsche call it "front luggage compartment".
The Boxster also has front and rear luggage compartment emergency
releases for when the electric release fails, easy enough to find if you know where they are.
