Can jump start another car affect my car?

I have a 2013 honda will it damage my car if I jump start another car

No, not if you do it correctly

No. If properly performed no damage will occur. Relax, and simply do it properly.

Most people do it wrong so there's a good chance - yes.

No.

Only if you do it wrong.

If you cross the leads, or short something out, then really bad things happen.

If I'm doing a jump start, I always do it myself, and ask the other person to watch and "double check" me.Red to red, black to black, make sure they agree. That way we both have to get it horribly wrong to blow anything up.

If you don't know what you're doing and hook up the jumper cables wrong you'll fry the PCM if the fusible link doesn't blow fast enough.
If the other vehicle has a dead cell in the battery it can also make your alternator go into maximum output which can fry your alternator.

Only if you put wrong wires to terminals and Leave them on. But, you'll se the Spark when you connect and drop it!

Or you try to start a Huge truck. Or car with a frozen engine or starter. May kill your battery. Or MIght melt wires and cables. You will Disconnect on the Smoke, so this won't happen!

. Or you try an 18 wheeler or airplane, which are 24 volts!

Or, make a spark by battery, it can explode. (Negative Last to donor car Frame as far away from battery as possible.)
Even a very dead battery can explode--it's buildup of hydrogen and oxygen gases that explode, not necessarily the state of the battery.

A Motorcycle, jumped by a car, has a potential problem. The wiring in the M/C can't take the sudden current of a cage battery. If started. Then Instantly removed, its OK.

Don't go on Color, most cars nowadays have black battery cables. Go + terminal or big one on recipient car to your red cable then to + or big one on your car; the small or - to your black cable and to frame of your car (IF you have a negative ground,.) The recipient Might have a + ground, too. This prevents any such malarkey. (c) My cables are different lengths so the clamps can't accidentally touch each other when connecting other sides.

EDIT: Alternators are internally current limited, M.

REF: One battery blew up on me, I was grinding above it while it was charging. My Bad. Blew top completely off!

Yes, it could.

It could injure your alternator if your engine is running.

It could injure your electrical system, especially if you put the negative cable somewhere on your body metal, instead of the engine (bracket or whatever).

Could be BIG damage if you manage to connect the cables backward (reverse polarity).

It can

No. The most important thing, probably, about that, is always connect the jumper cables to the bad battery first. This is because the bad battery could be giving off fumes and you do not want to make any sparks around it.Connect bad battery, then connect the cables to the good battery. Do not ground the cables on your end to your battery, ground on the body of the car. That means, Positive (red) connects to your battery, and negative (black) connects to a hunk of metal on the body of the car… Somewhere in the engine compartment, wherever… Just clamp it onto the frame, that will work too.
