2016 ram CTD jump starting 2012 ram CTD; does it matter which of the dual batteries you jump to and which battery you jump from?

Just curious about how many amps your jump pack is, and how well it works. I have one but have never used it.
The SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) is a CAT advertised at 500A/1000A. It works OK, but wouldn't start a frozen V6 Ford Ranger at -30* C (-22*F) with a dead battery (totally dead) and the Ranger was not plugged in.
The lithium pack is a GooLoo (Amazon). It is rated at "1000A" (20800mah, yellow version) and I haven't had the chance to use it yet. It does have good reviews on Amazon and I watched a few YouTube videos of it in action. I mainly wanted it for carrying in the truck in case I leave something on etc. when we are in remote locations in the mountains. It lives under the seat in the summer and in the house in the winter.
