@tabeh0udai Thanks for the feedback. Is it also called "booster cables"? We say ブースターケーブル in Japanese.

@nomadatlatl “Jumper cables” are a pair of electric cables with clips attached to both ends used for starting a vehicle with a dead battery. This is done by connecting one end of each cable to the dead battery and the other end of each cable to the live battery, and then when the vehicle with the live battery is turned on, the vehicle with dead battery can then be started using the power of the live battery via the jumper cables.

@nomadatlatl I think we just say jumper cables

@nomadatlatl “booster cables” is simply another term for “jumper cables”. Although I would say that the term “jumper cables” is more frequently used, it is not uncommon to hear the term “booster cables”, and they are in fact sometimes referred to as “booster cables” in advertisements.
