  • it just depends if ...

    it just depends if the battery is below a certain volt then it wont start.. but if you crank up your own car then your alternator is constantly charging your battery and then your battery is charging the other persons battery.. so basically its like the difference between using a Microwave or an Oven.. leaving your car on is quicker.. I leave my car running.. just dont clank the metal tips together.. other wise u can send bad shit throught the cable and ur battery will explode.
