Will Starting Vehicle with Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-75 Connected Damage Anything

Question:

If you you want or need to start your towed car to circulate transmission fluid and for some reason your Motorhome is running and the two are linked together with the charge line would you need a diode in the line?

You would not need to worry about damage occurring if you started your vehicle with the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-75 installed. There would be no need for a diode either. Having an additional 12 volt power source attached to your vehicle while it's running would essentially just be like having a more powerful alternator. Basically it would just be like having more amps present which would not hurt anything.
