Lets say I did something dumb, like leaving a light on, and my trucks batteries drained down to where it doesnt have eniugh juice to start it.
Would I fry my pickups battery by tryng to jumpstart the semi? Could I even jumpstart the semi with my pickups battery?

I'm just a lazy ###. I don't want to get dressed again and drive 10 miles to see if I bumped the worklights on as I was getting shut down and wrapped up this afternoon.
Storms coming, and its c-c-cold and dark out there. Screw it. I'd rather jump it on Monday than go back out tonight.Lumper Humper Thanks this. -

Ok, OK, OK. I'm getting dressed. Darn it, its about 15° out there. Can't I just once let something slide? Darn it.

Leave it on there long enough and it will charge the batterys ...it won't do the alternater any favors of the doner vehicle tho.
Lumper Humper Thanks this. -
I used my 97 cavalier to jump start the 99 Pete I was driving.
You need good jumper cables though. Most on the market these days. Aren't worth a crap. Unless effort is made to make em worth a crap.tscottme, Klleetrucking, Lumper Humper and 2 others Thank this. -
Dead batteries over the weekend in a truck that is parked far enough away you can’t eyeball it. That is a great anti-theft device.
I’ve jumpstarted trucks with a 4cyl mitsubishi forklift. No problem.Lumper Humper and bzinger Thank this. -
He might find himself with frozen batteries.
Fully charged they freeze at -60
Dead batteries freeze at 32. Electrolyte turns to water as it discharges.TGUNKEL, God prefers Diesels and SmallPackage Thank this.
