An apparatus for providing a low cost, quick, and convenient automobile jump starting system and method. The jump start system comprises an adapter suitable to receive at least one hand held power tool battery. The adapter in certain embodiments comprises conductive metallic spring clips for making electrical connection(s) between the tool battery and the adapter. The adapter further comprises a plurality of connectible gauge wires (serving as booster cables) each having biasing connectors (alligator clips). The distal ends of the gauge wire(s) may be removably connectible to the adapter or may be rigidly fixed to the adapter. The Jump Start Adapter System may also be removably connected to the vehicle battery using biasing connectors or may be hard wired to the vehicle electrical system eliminating the need for biasing connectors. The proximate end(s) of the connectible gauge wire(s) comprise the biasing connectors for making connection to the dead battery of the vehicle when using a free-standing jump start adapter system. One of the connectible gauge wires is a red color-coded eight-gauge wire serving as a positive cable and the other connectible gauge wires is a black color-coded eight-gauge wire serving as a negative cable. The Jump Start Adapter system of the present invention allows individuals to jump-start various types of vehicle engines using a rechargeable battery from a power tool battery. |
