Depends!
If its a "good" battery, and you ie left your interior light/radio/etc on, then after a few mins no probs.
If its a fecked battery, ie dry or buckled plates, then I wouldn't risk it:- things can melt!

I agree.
Best method is for the "donor car" to be held @ approx 2000 rpm so that the alternator is giving plenty of "juice" when you try and start the "dead" car......minimises the load on the "donor" battery.

dont you have to be carefull when connecting the jump leads ?
I thought that the management system can be damaged if not connected in the right order.
Applies to most cars I think.
