Claim 18:
19. A method as in claim 16, further comprising
turning on an error indicator when a disconnect condition is determined from the analysis of the first and second voltage values,
wherein the disconnect condition comprises at least one of
an open circuit condition indicates an open connection between the battery terminals or the vehicle connectors and the output terminals,
wherein the open circuit condition is determined by the first voltage value being in a vicinity of a zero value, and the second voltage value being comparable with a voltage of the power supply; or

a short condition indicates that the battery of the vehicle is shorted or a circuit of the vehicle is shorted,
wherein the short condition is determined by the first voltage value being in a vicinity of a zero value, and by the second voltage value being in a vicinity of a zero equivalent value,
wherein the zero equivalent value is a value of the second voltage value when the vehicle connectors are connected to a shorted battery; or

a reverse polarity condition indicates a presence of the battery of the vehicle and a reverse polarity connection between the output terminals and the battery terminals,
wherein the reverse polarity condition is determined by the first voltage value being a negative value, and by the second voltage value being less than the zero equivalent value; or

an over voltage condition indicates that the jump starter device is connected to the vehicle battery with the vehicle battery comprising an over voltage value,
wherein the over voltage value is higher than a highest voltage exhibited by the power supply after being fully charged,
wherein the over voltage condition is determined by the second voltage value is over the over voltage value; or

a non-replaceable condition indicates an absence of the vehicle battery in the vehicle and a reverse polarity connection between the vehicle battery and the output terminals,
wherein the non-replaceable condition is determined by the first voltage value being in a vicinity of a zero value, and by the second voltage value being in a vicinity of the zero equivalent value.
