Some car manufacturers do not recommend boosting a vehicle, They
state that damage to electronic controls can occur if voltage
surges flow through the electrical system during boosting.
Instead of boosting, the auto manufacturers prefer that a fully
charged battery be installed in place of the dead one or that
the dead battery be charged. This is often impractical because
of where the vehicle is sitting so most people with a dead
battery boost their vehicle - but several important steps must
be followed to prevent damage.
}
Come 'on... is it impossible to throw in some protection
electronics?
And what about this surge?...Wimpy car electronics?
Perhaps HV spikes from the booster wire inductance can zap the
computer and other loads..
Would you buy a car that has a big sticker: "Contains sensitive
electronics..do not boost"
