2025 Maverick where to connect the jumper cables

[Frenchy]

Ehhh...
12-13V is 12-13V whether it's coming from the jump points - thru the underhood fuse box - thru the cabin fuse box - to the battery - back to the relays.
Or from the battery with another battery attached - to the relays.

But yeah the potential hassle clearing off back seat to get to battery, strange parking situation with back door open (closer to Y depending on other battery location?) since no electric to roll down window.

Ya jump points for a reason, and double pull to open hood no electric required.

Thank you all guys

Here's a picture my bad Schumacher jump starter with the cables in the same place they would be hooked up, if I were using it to jump start my Maverick.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most portable jump starters are pretty similar as far as how long the cables are.
I added masking tape to the negative clamp so it could be seen.
The negative clamp is hooked up to the negative body bolt. The positive is not hooked up, but is right on top of where the positive terminal is.

Yes I know the case is split on my Schumacher jump starter. I don't use it. This was just for demonstrative purposes. This is the second Schumacher where the case split, from the battery swelling.

Nice to see that it fits. Really not that far apart.

Yes, it is under the RED cap, almost under the fuse box. It is 5/16" threaded rod. It looks awkward to get a regular jumper cable on. With the hybrid, you don't need high current, just enough to activate the relays. A small jumper box would be adequate.

Small jumper box is more than adequte for the Hybrid. When I was having issues had to have Roadside Assistance out a couple of times to jump it. They used the box.

I think the issue I was experiencing was related to communications between the key fob and the vehicle. Once I started ensuring the vehicle was locked, I stopped experiencing the unexpected battery drains.

From my understanding it could mess up the dc converter if you try jumping from battery directly. Also would be awkward having cables go through the cab. What do you do park like a T?

It wouldn't mess up the DC/DC converter, but there is some possibility it could blow the 200A fuse that's on the battery cable; similar reason not to connect to the converter's cable ends. Whereas the red jump point is (mostly) directly connected to the distribution box's main bus bar.

Okay dumb question, but for the Hybrid models can these jump points also be used to jump start another vehicle?
