I've never heard that and I think I've read every thread on here. The closest thing I could imagine to that may have been someone mentioning that as a side effect of the "jump start" the HV battery would be warmer...just like charging any battery warms it up. And another thread talking about how a warmer battery gives off more energy than a cold one. Perhaps a mental merger of two ideas???
