 Self-jumpstarting means jumpstarting one's own vehicle without the use of another vehicle.  The most common way to do this is by [[electrical:12v:alternator|combining]] house and chassis batteries.
+It will be easiest on the system to combine the batteries and allow the starter battery to come up a bit instead of immediately attempting to start.
 ===== solenoids =====
-Solenoids/relays will automatically self-jumpstart assuming there is enough voltage in the starter battery to energize the solenoid. It is a mechanical connection and power will flow both ways.
+Solenoids/relays //always// self-jumpstart assuming there is enough voltage in the starter battery to energize the solenoid. It is a mechanical connection and power will flow both ways.
