The jump starter, cables and air compressor are all integrated into a light weight compact housing.
Claims9
A multi-purpose battery jump starter and reconditioner comprising:
- a portable housing;
- an internal battery;
- means for measuring voltage of said internal battery and graphically displaying said measured voltage;
- a battery charger circuit means available for receipt of AC power and converting to a DC voltage, said battery charger circuit means constructed and arranged to provide a charging current to said internal battery;
- a battery booster means coupled to said internal battery;
- starting energy to the vehicle battery through the positive and negative connectors;
- a battery reconditioner means provides an oscillating electrical pulse by use of transistor based circuit having a cross fed capacitor with bipolar transistors constructed and arranged to provide energy at a level that can desulfanate a lead acid battery;
- a flexible positive connector having a first end releasably coupled to a positive terminal of said internal battery and a second end available for temporary securement to a positive terminal of a vehicle mounted battery;
- a flexible negative connector having a first end releasably coupled to a negative terminal of said internal battery and a second end available for temporary securement to a negative terminal of a vehicle mounted battery;
- a controller means for selecting either said battery booster means or said battery reconditioner means;
- and
- a battery switching means for selecting between said internal battery and said battery charger.
