Abstract: The battery jump-starting method includes determining whether a vehicle is available for jump-start, turning off a switch controlling a relay when the vehicle is available for jump-start, and temporarily driving the vehicle in a state in which the switch is maintained in an OFF state when the vehicle is started.

Abstract: A system for charging a vehicle battery includes a relay configured to establish/interrupt electrical connection between the vehicle battery and a vehicle system supplied with power from the vehicle battery, and a controller. The controller is configured to monitor a voltage of the battery, control the relay to interrupt the electrical connection when a voltage of the battery is less than or equal to a first predetermined reference value, and control the relay to establish the electrical connection when a predetermined condition is satisfied while the relay is electrically disconnected.
