Why you don't want to jumper a car on a dead battery. It will full field the alternator and if your diodes are nuked then good luck to all your computers in your car. Watch why and how here. https://youtu.be/ShtGB07fCSs

I think to jumper another car is OK for a short time, its always done, never had a problem, this case on video is extreem, won't happen from a short jump, your more likely to get a voltage spike to nuke the computer rather than high current nuke. Each to their own.Go forth.

Have a forester that had a flat batt didn't even get Jumpstart and the low voltage caused the key registration to drop out of the coalation ecm. 2k to fix. Low voltage can kill eproms

Ya seen a similar thing happen on a VE SS Holden that was being worked on and ended up with a completely discharged battery, as in 3 volts left in the thing. Basically all the modules had to be reconfigured and relinked and the keys reprogrammed. Took hours.
