I have a feeling that you shouldn't really jump start lithium batteries in case they explode - they don't like a sudden burst of power, which is why there are specific charger for lithium batteries, as these kind of ease into the charge rather than going all-out.

Yep, never jump start a lithium battery.

EDIT:  If you must, I have heard that connecting the earth lead to the chassis as far away from the battery as possible reduces the risks.
