1. A portable battery charger comprising:
- (a) a housing having a plurality of parallel partitions defining parallel compartments, said housing being provided with a pair of spaced openings aligned respectively with said two of said compartments therein;
(b) a battery disposed within a remaining compartment;
(c) a battery charger disposed within remaining compartment and electrically connected to said battery;
(d) battery charging cables having proximal ends directly electrically connected to said battery and said battery charger, intermediate portions of said cables being respectively received as U shaped loops in respective other of said compartments;
the distal ends of said cables being slideably received in and extending outwardly respectively through said opening in said housing;
(e) battery terminal clamps electrically connected to the ends of said cables, and being larger than said holes for arresting inwardly movement of said cables through said holes externally of said housing; and
(f) means for yieldably urging said intermediate portions of said cables into said compartments sufficiently to yieldably hold said terminal clamps adjacent to their respective holes and in spaced apart condition.

Abstract
A portable battery charger having a housing surrounding an L-shaped frame on wheels, the bottom portion of the frame supporting a battery. Within the frame is a battery charger connected in charging parallel relationship to the battery. Jumper cables are connected through the housing to the battery and intermediate portions of the jumper cables and electrical supply cable within the housing are yieldably retracted by disc-shaped weights into parallel vertically disposed compartments. An electrical tilt alarm is provided to prevent spillage of electrolyte.
