You are correct about those 'Jump Start" aux batteries. I have one and am dying to try it some day. I hadn't thought about donar car damage and you well may be right. These new cars have a lot of electronics in them and diodes like to pop with reverse current. Always remember to remove the ground cable first, preferably from the sick car.
