 Self-jumpstarting means jumpstarting one's own vehicle without the use of another vehicle.  It's done by [[electrical:12v:alternator|combining]] house and chassis batteries by one of several methods discussed below.
-Note:  regardless of specific method used, it will be gentlest on the system to combine the batteries and wait a short time for the starter battery to come up a bit instead of immediately attempting to start. This will minimize the amount of current flowing from house bank to vehicle chassis.
+Note:  regardless of specific method used, it will be gentlest on the system to combine the batteries and wait for the starter battery to come up instead of immediately attempting to start. This will minimize the amount of current flowing from house bank to vehicle chassis. This may be especially important with Li chemistries that have BMS protections.

-[[electrical:12v:alternator#isolators|Solid state isolators]] are diode based and will not allow power to flow from the house battery to the starter battery.  Therefore they cannot be used to self-jumpstart on their own (see [[electrical:12v:self-jumpstarting#adding_self-jumpstart_to_diode_isolators_and_dc-dc_chargers|below]]).
