Will Jump Starting A Car Damage My Battery. Answer 1 of 2. Dont attempt to jumpstart a damaged battery.
One is that the voltage regulators of the two cars fight with each other. One article I read suggested that the amount of electronics connected to the battery in a modern car could result in damage from any kind of transient during a jump-start and another article I read on how to jump-start a car had a large warning that read If either vehicle has an electronic ignition system or is an alternatively fueled vehicle. Whatever the case you need a jump.
Never lean over the battery of either car.
Whatever the case you need a jump. Can i jump start my car with just a battery. If jump starting gets your engine started and running but the car will not start again once you turn it off the battery is probably the problem. It could lead to an explosion.
