"Jump starting is just adding another charge source in series with your
own."

Not being picky...well maybe I am....but isn't it technically in parallel ?

I don't understand all this talk about jump starting being bad.  Jump
starting is just adding another charge source in series with your own.  It
doesn't add voltage, just amperage.  You can jump off a source with a
million amps, but it will have no negative effect.  Amperage is based on
demand, so long as you follow the clamp connecting/removal procedures.

Something else must have gone wrong with the jump.  I've done numerous jumps
on my ST with no problem.
