Just a reminder with jumper cables or any other time you are connecting high amp DC circuits - you get a spark at the place where the circuit completes.

That's why with jumper cables, the black goes on last, on the car body, away from the battery.

Don't finish completing your circuit on anything you don't want a little arcing at.
