| 摘要 |
The present invention provides an apparatus for starting an electrically cranked engine, the apparatus comprising battery connection means, a voltage increase circuit having an electrical input and an electrical output, and electrical energy storage means, wherein the apparatus is configured such that the battery connection means is in electrical connection with the electrical input of the voltage increase circuit, and the electrical energy storage means is in electrical connection with the voltage output of the voltage increase circuit such that electrical energy at a relatively low voltage from a battery connected to the battery connection means flows to the voltage increase circuit which increases the voltage of the electrical energy to a relatively high voltage, and the electrical energy flows to the electrical energy storage means and is stored therein at the relatively high voltage. The present apparatus may be used to jump start a vehicle or other machine with a depleted battery.
