This made me think though, with all the many wires and cables attached to car battery terminals nowadays, is jump starting a good idea on modern cars? (Couldn't even get to the -ve terminal on her Peugeot, I had to use a nearby earth point)
I left my interior lights on and now the battery is dead. Can I jump start my truck without a problem? If not what's the alternative.
