Using my D2 to jump start another car

[Dezzy]

If you're going to spend that sort of cash on a piar of leads you'd probably be better off with a portable starter. Like or similarhttp://www.maplin.co.uk/portable-jum...mpressor-49038

On the D3 it is HIDEOUSLY IMPORTANT that you use the earth point above the battery and not on the battery itself, or it will kill the power management unit.

Arrgh! I was just going to say that I've always ignored the explosive risk thing, and just connect to the most convenient point, usually the battery pole. Then Psyche frightens me with that.

I bought my leads for jumping trucks. Trucks being 24v and the electric fork lift we jumped from being 36v. They had to be good to carry the current.

Always force clamp jaws closed against the lead battery pole if poss and work them around to dig into it. (Unless your jumping a truck, where you just jam the last lead on as fast as you can, eyes closed and extinguisher ready to put out your hair)

Thanks for the heads up Psyche
