Quick Battery Question

I just took possession of my 2018 F-250 Diesel. It has 2 batteries. When jumping another vehicle, or receiving a jump....does it matter which battery to use? I've never had 2 batteries. Thanks in advance for any response.

Doesn't really matter. They are connected in parallel.

I do recall reading somewhere that the owner's manual said/says passenger side is preferred (closer to starter?), but ...

I'm looking at version 3 of the electronic owner's manual. I can't find anything that speaks to using a specific battery for jump starting. Can you site the section you found this in?
