Not really. If it is done correctly and you have your engine running at the time it probably won't hurt your battery. Do be careful though not to try to jump something that requires more than your battery can put out. For instance a battery for a 4 cylinder trying to jump a large V-8 may cause the smaller battery to overheat. Check the top of the battery for the cold cranking amp rating (CCA) and if you are within 50 cca you should be OKAY.
