## Abstract

A battery boosting device adapted to be affixed internally to a vehicle, the battery boosting device comprising two or more sets of cables adapted to jump start an internal batter and/or an external battery.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An integrated vehicular battery booster comprising:
a housing defining a hollow interior recess, the housing comprising:
a plurality of lithium-ion cells connected in one of: series and parallel;
a three-way switch adapted to alternatively direct power: from a battery within an automobile to the battery booster via a primary set of cables; to a battery within the automobile via the primary set of cables; and to a battery external to the vehicle via a secondary set of cables;
the primary set of cables affixed to two or more annular washers, the washers adapted to affix to terminals of the internal battery;
the secondary set of cables affixed to two or more alligator clips, the alligator clips adapted to affix to terminals of the external battery.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a plurality of mounting brackets.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising three or more lithium-ion power cells.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising two or more PCB boards.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the primary cables and the secondary cables are interconnected on the same circuit.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a faceplate having a plurality of USB ports.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the housing defines an open end through which the lithium-ion cells are received.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a planar plate adapted to slidably affix to the housing.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a dashboard-mounted switch comprising a baseplate, a depressible button, and a plurality of conductive cables.
