It's the diodes that blow. Alternators have AC that uses diodes to chop 1/2 the wave. If I have to jump I'll attach my car first to the cables then attach to the donor car. If a spark happens it's at the donor. A voltage spike is ng. I haven't read about the details in years. I'm sure hard info is available somewhere. And a jumped car will see an alternator putting out mucho amps. Mucho amps = heated alternator.
