Combination jump starter and high frequency charger
First Claim
1. A portable jump starter/charger apparatus, comprising:
- a housing;
an AC input disposed on the housing;
a jump-starter battery enclosed within said housing and providing a first DC output;
a battery charger enclosed within said housing, receiving AC current via the AC input and providing a second DC output from the AC current;
a pair of battery cables electrically coupleable to receive a selected one of the first and second DC outputs from the jump-starter battery and the battery charger.

Abstract
A portable jump starter/charger combination includes a housing and a jump starter battery enclosed within the housing for providing a first DC output. A battery charger is also enclosed within the housing and provides a second DC output. A function selector switch has a first input coupled to the first DC output of the jump starter battery, a second input coupled to the second DC output of the charger and an output coupled to battery cables. The function selector switch is operative to selectively connect one of the first and second inputs to the output of the function selector for either jump starting a vehicle with a dead battery or charging the dead battery through the pair of battery cables.
