Battery booster system

In an electrical power system that includes a pair of twelve volt batteries connected to twenty-four volt equipment, a battery power booster system for charging said batteries comprising:

• electrical switch means coupled to said batteries for alternately connecting said batteries in series to supply twenty-four volt power to the twenty-four volt equipment in a first switch position or in parallel for charging in a second switch position,
• a twelve volt power socket connected across one of said batteries independent of said switch means and across the other of said batteries through said switch means when said switch means is in said second position, said twenty-four volt equipment being connected to said batteries independent of said power socket, and
• means including a twelve volt power plug removably insertable into said socket for connecting said socket to a source of twelve volt charging power, said socket being available for supplying twelve volt power to twelve volt equipment external to said power system and separate from said twenty-four volt equipment when said switch is in said first position by reason of said socket being connected across said one of said batteries independent of both said switch means and said twenty-four volt equipment.
