Abstract
The present invention relates to a jumper cable system for charging batteries on vehicles such as motorcycles, lawnmowers, lawn tractors, and small boats. The jumper cable system comprises a first cable having a pair of battery clips at one end and a male plug at a second end and a second cable having a pair of battery clips at one end and a female socket at a second end. The male plug on the first cable is sized to fit within an electrical outlet such as an automobile cigarette lighter socket. The female socket on the second cable is sized to mate with the male plug and form an electrical connection therebetween. The cable jumper system of the present invention is versatile since it can be used either by inserting the male plug of the first cable into an electrical outlet and connecting the battery clips to the terminals on the battery to be charged or by mating the first and second cables and connecting the battery clips on the cables to respective batteries.
