Re: Jump starting a car

The battery pack of the second generation Toyota Prius consists of 28 Panasonic prismatic nickel metal hydride modules—each containing six 1.2 volt cells—connected in series to produce a nominal voltage of 201.6 volts. The total number of cells is 168, compared with 228 cells packaged in 38 modules in the first generation Prius. The pack is positioned behind the back seat.
According to this info, I guess it would be unwise to jump start a conventional car battery with a hybrid car battery, this says over 200 volts,
other hybrid batteries I read have over 300 volts

What kind of damage would attempting to jump your car battery with a hybrid do to either vehicles electrical system?

Thanks,
