Multi-functional portable power charger
First Claim
1. A portable charger capable of jump starting a 12 V car battery, comprising:
- a charger battery;
a jump start circuit operatively electrically connected with the charger battery and with an ignition power outlet; and
a microcontroller configured to establish or interrupt the operative electrical connection of the jump start circuit with the ignition power outlet,wherein the ignition power outlet comprises a positive power socket, a negative power socket, a positive sensing socket and a negative sensing socket;
wherein the sensing sockets are electrically isolated from the power sockets, wherein the microcontroller senses voltage across the sensing sockets and is configured to interrupt the operative electrical connection of the jump start circuit to the ignition power outlet until proper voltage is sensed across the sensing sockets.

Abstract
A portable charger capable of jump starting a 12 V car battery includes a charger battery, a jump start circuit operatively electrically connected with the charger battery and with an ignition power outlet, and a microcontroller for coordinating safety functions to establish or interrupt the operative electrical connection of the jump start circuit with the ignition power outlet. The ignition power outlet comprises a positive power socket, a negative power socket, a positive sensing socket and a negative sensing socket. The sensing sockets are electrically isolated from the power sockets, and the microcontroller senses voltage across the sensing sockets and is configured to interrupt the operative electrical connection of the jump start circuit to the ignition power outlet until proper voltage is sensed across the sensing sockets.
