It's always very annoying when one discovers they've left their park lights or that their car-alarm has drained their battery. All we really need is for that engine to turn over a few times and bingo, the self charging process has begun. What can be tricky is getting a jump-start from another vehicle...
sometimes it's the location, other times just unhelpful fellow motorists. This is where 'Wireless Jumper Leads' can help. Based on portable defribrilator technology, this rechargable device would deliver a short burst of high output charge at the exact moment you try to start your car (a small circuit detecting device that plugs into the cigarette lighter could perform this feat easily).
Don't use on chest...

Don't use this on your chest, either.

Nice idea [lukecleland] but I think [angel] is right. I think most cars like their 'leccy no more forceful than 12/16V, any more than that and fuses are gonna blow... |

What Pa've said. Battery boosters are rechargeable devices that can power the engine for a good few turns until it starts, roadside assistance vans always keep one in the back. Unfortunately I am only too familiar with these things. |

There's a jumper battery that plugs into your cigarette lighter. Will that do? |
