What you've never turned a battery upside down to make the terminals touch each other?

Sadly, its spawn is illegitimate.

No but I did find myself with a dead battery late at night in the middle of nowhere. Luckily there was one other person there. Neither of us had battery cables so we took his battery out, started my car and then removed the battery while the car was still running and put it back in his car. Made it home that night.

Any port in a storm but I wonder if they unloaded first? Not sure what DC current would do flowing through rifle barrels to cartridges but I don't want to be the one to find out.

M151 jeeps, pull them together til the fenders rub with the blackout drive lights right next to each other. Gotta run through the paint to get a ground.

Put a piece of wire between the two BOD light plugs.

Let it charge for awhile.

Won't carry enough amperage to jump start, bit will surface charge the battery.

That's really dangerous for the reason you can smoke the alternator if you unhook the battery cables when its running.
