I've seen the ads and I'm pretty sure I know what Frank is talking about.

Basically it is a battery powered battery charger.

It works like this; A smallish rechargeable battery is connected to a 'smart' battery charger and has a cigarette plug on a cord for connection. In use, you plug it into the lighter socket or power port and the charger pack, which has a battery with more than 12 volts in it, usually 18 volts, starts to charge the disabled vehicles battery from it's own.

You can do the same thing, although not as efficiently, by connecting a 12 volt and a 6 volt battery in series (negative of one battery to positive of the other battery) and then just putting a pair of cables between the remaining positive and negative, and then to the dead battery.

It doesn't take much to bring up the voltage level in a battery, I've seen it done with nothing more than 'D' cell batteries.

Best of luck.
