Claim Text:
1. A method for delivering supplemental power from a portable jump starter to an engine comprising the steps of: positioning said portable jump starter proximate the engine; temporarily manually connecting conductive leads from said portable jump starter to the electrical system of the engine; automatically selecting a voltage output of one or more system batteries housed in said portable jump starter and one or more system capacitors housed in said portable jump starter, verifying the polarity of the conductive leads; providing an alert if said polarity is incorrect; assessing the voltage level of said electrical system; applying power from said system batteries and said system capacitors to said electrical system; monitoring the current output of said system batteries and said system capacitors; measuring one or more voltage levels to determine one or more fault conditions; examining the current through a shunt cable; and electrically disconnecting said conductive leads from said electrical system when the engine starts.
