Also the majority of people forget that a car battery is 'alive' for want of a better description. There is an chemical / organic process going on constantly.
By flattening a battery by leaving lights on say, it will recover partially by itself. If you then use a booster to bring up the p.d voltage, that is often enough for your own battery to provide enough power.
People assume you are sucking many amps from a booster or slave car battery.
If you just connect a booster and slave car battery to your own,and WAIT, it will very often assist / recover your own battery without sucking lots of power from another.
Having a donor car engine running while you try and start your own, serves no purpose.
