it is the only way i understand why using the booster is ok but not the other cars.
what do you think?
Other cars may produce unwanted voltage spikes. Some years ago, a friend who operated an alternator & starter shop advised me to never use my car to jump-start another car, to avoid damaging mine. Some time later, I offered a jump start to a very attractive lady, and had to take my car to his shop to replace my damaged alternator (with internal regulator). He was right! Since then I have not jump-started another vehicle, explaining that I was "late for a doctor's appointment". It's a cruel world...
