Depends on the quality and size of the cables, IMO.  Good stout cables
should have no problem, but the lightweight "booster" cables sold in many
stores might not do it.  And don't even think about the gizmo that works
through the cigarette lighter !

Not likely to hurt anything, IMO ... but why put an extra quart in to begin
with ?  It already holds half a case !
