Only one problem here. Don't believe you car will run without a battery
in the electrical circuit. If there's an open in the battery-battery
connection, I suspect the engine would die as soon as you disconnected
the battery being used to jump start the car. Now, if you had a magneto,
that's a different story....
BTW, please correct me if I'm wrong here (as if this list needs an
invitation like that!)
