Multiple voltage power box
First Claim
1. A variable voltage system for supplying electrical energy in various voltages depending on the application requirement of an electrical system, the variable voltage system comprising:
- a positive terminal and a negative terminal, at least one positive terminal and at least one negative terminal being electrically coupleable to the electrical system;
a main battery, said main battery including a main positive output and a main negative output, the main positive output being electrically connected to at least one positive terminal, the main negative output being electrically connected to at least one negative terminal;
at least one auxiliary battery, each said auxiliary battery including an auxiliary positive output and an auxiliary negative output, said auxiliary positive output being electrically connected to at least one positive terminal, said first auxiliary negative output being electrically connected to at least one negative terminal;
at least one switch for each said battery, each said switch allowing each said auxiliary battery to be switched between in parallel or in series within the variable voltage system to control the voltage supplied to the electrical system;
said system configured to allow said batteries to be charged by a car alternator when the batteries are coupled in parallel.

Abstract
A device and method of use directed to providing various voltages based on the voltage selection by the user for various applications. In one embodiment, the device is comprised of two or more 12 volt batteries coupled in a manner that allows the voltage output of the device to be modified by allowing each battery to change from in parallel to in series with a switching device. In another embodiment, the switching device may control all batteries, there may be more than one switching device whereby a switching device may control one or more batteries, or each battery may have its own switching device to determine which state the battery is in.
