Using jumper cables requires using the negative on the body and not on the battery. Most jumper cables have this info on the packaging. That’s what saves your charging system. Having big vehicles, I have a 20’ set on cables in each car.
I thought the point of that was that when you made the final connection to ground, you wouldn't create a spark near the battery and risk fire/explosion.
Because as far as creating a connection for current flow, the negative terminal of the battery would be the ideal location.
