Default Re: Jump start Ford Escape hybrid from big pac?

Yes, the "jump start" button allows you to use the 12v battery to minimally charge the HV battery. The charging circuit for this function appears to be enclosed in the HV battery pack, as it also provides the function of warming the HV battery to make a successful start more likely.

A fully charged 12v battery has enough capacity to run two jump-start cycles.
