Battery apparatus for use in starting railroad locomotives includes a portable housing. A Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry Lithium ion battery is carried within the housing. The battery has a positive output lead and a negative output lead accessible from the exterior of the housing. A low voltage and high voltage protection module is positioned within the housing and connected to the positive output lead and the negative output lead. The module is constructed to switch the battery into a "sleeping mode" when the battery voltage reaches a low voltage or a high voltage condition. Output terminals are mounted on an exterior surface of the housing in a location available to be connected to a locomotive by interconnecting cables. When the voltage protection module switches the battery into the "sleeping mode" a push button on the housing is used to reactivate the apparatus. |
