Claim:
1. A system for aiding in starting of a motor vehicle having a vehicle battery that has been depleted to an energy level where the battery is unusable for an intended purpose but still having an amount of reserve energy, the reserve energy of the dead battery being at a specific DC voltage potential level, said system comprising: a boost or step up converter circuit adapted for electrical communication with the dead battery and capable of extracting the reserve energy from the dead battery and boosting a DC voltage potential for the extracted reserve energy to a higher level than the specific DC voltage potential level; a current limiter circuit in electrical communication with an output of the boost or step up converter circuit; and a single cell or capacitor bank in electrical communication with an output of the current limiter circuit, said single cell or capacitor bank adapted for electrical communication to an electrical load device and when the single cell or capacitor bank is charged the single cell or capacitor bank is capable and available for delivering energy to the load device; wherein the current limiter circuit restricts a maximum current delivered to the single cell or capacitor bank from the extracted reserve energy and regulates a charging time for the single cell or capacitor bank using the reserve energy extracted from the dead battery.
