Hi guys, If I’ve seen this before I don’t remember it. Can you jump your 5’er batteries from the truck?

GEEZE My first impression was you were talking about jumping the 5er like the Dukes. Maybe I need more coffee.

Not sure what you mean by jump. Do you mean can you link your truck batts to your FW to charge them - like with jumper cables? Don't most do this when you plug in the tow power cable? But yes, using cables would be the same as linking them together, just temporarily.
