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?

Is turning off the jump vehicle when starting the CTD recommended only for diesel? Or for gas also?
And are you supposed to disconnect the cables also?
I had never heard this before.
It's not a diesel or gas thing, it's for the doner vehicle.
Failing to do so can and will send spikes (I've seen the damage) back through the running vehicles sensitive electronics and fry them.
Note that ths is in the manuals of many new vehicles.
