On the boat, I had a battery regulator fail when the voltage sensor wire broke. One of the banks got up to 19 volts (12v system) and blew the lid right off the battery box from a hydrogen explosion. It blew the top off one of the batterys exposing the cells and blew battery acid everywhere. Battery explosions are serious business

Like I said though, not sure what the difference is.... come watch a car being boosted when it-s -40 done terminal to terminal... the running car will have to sit on it for a few minutes and possibly rev up the engine to get a bit of a charge into it before trying.... take the negative off the terminal on the dead car and put it on ground and you don't even need to have the boosting car running, the dead one will go.
