1. A battery booster cable storage system comprising:
- two elongated battery booster cables each having a predetermined length L;
each of said battery booster cables having a stranded wire electrical conductor that extends its length and they are each surrounded by a layer of insulation, said stranded wire electrical conductors having a first end and a second end;
four alligator clamp assemblies each formed from a pair of elongated handles having a jaw with teeth formed on one of their ends, a pivot pin connects said pair of handles intermediate their length, said pivot pin passes through a coiled spring that functions to keep said jaws clamped together, an insulator hand grip is removably received on each handle;
the respective first and second ends of said stranded wire electrical conductors being connected to only one of the handles of an alligator clamp assembly;
said battery booster cables being folded back and forth into a predetermined shape that is substantially linear and having a folded length no greater than L/3; and
means for holding said folded booster cables in said substantially linear configuration comprising a closed loop elastic member directly secured to one of the alligator clamp assemblies at each end of said substantially linear folded shape.

Abstract
A battery booster cable storage system that takes two elongated battery booster cables each having a predetermined length L and folds them back and forth upon themselves into a predetermined shape that is substantially linear and having a folded length no greater than L/3. A closed loop elastic member is secured to one of the alligator clamp assemblies at each end of the substantially linear folded shape. A gripping member may be secured to the closed loop elastic member and there is provided a cable support member that removably receives the gripping member.
