The discussions have been all over the place concerning jump starting the JL.
It appears that you cannot simply connect another vehicle to start the engine.
1) To what post(s) should the + connection(s) be made?
2) What negative ground location should be used?
3) Is it true that even a high amperage boost will not suffice...that both the main
and ESS batteries need time to charge up before trying to start the vehicle?
Any dealers' techs on this forum have the correct procedure sent to them by FCA?
Has AAA (or equivalent) been informed about the proper procedure for jump starting?
Members have stated that they have used a battery charger to slowly re-charge both batteries
but what if you are far from any electrical outlet?
If I am out, overlanding, what would be the best preparation to be self-sufficient, carrying
an extra third charged battery or carrying a portable jump starter booster?
