Hello everyone,
Sometimes it happens that a car's battery won't start because of low temperature outside for some period of time or because a car hasn't been used for quite a long period of time. I've faced this situation twice, it happened last winter and I had to call an emargency car service to help. If a battery isn't charged enough, the engine won't start. What do you call the action of giving charge to a battery from another car? I've found "to jump-start" or "to bump-start".
Please, correct my sentences below, if necessary (I've made up these sentences myself):
1. All January I didn't use my car at all, and when I needed to go to the country, I realized that my car wouldn't start. I called a road service to jump-start / bump-start my car.
2. It was very cold outside and his car broke down on the highway. He asked another driver, who was moving the same way, to jump-start / bump-start his car.
3. I bought special devices to jump-start/bump-start my car and other cars.
