Abstract: Embodiments include smart jumper cables for jump-starting a vehicle. A jumper cable is configured with an electronic control module that monitors the connection at each end of the jumper cable, and only closes the circuit when a battery or vehicle electrical system is detected as properly connected to each end. In some embodiments, the electronic control module opens the circuit when a successful jump-start is detected. In some embodiments, the electronic control module further monitors the temperature of the jumper cable, and modulates the power transfer or opens the circuit if the temperature exceeds a predetermined level.

Abstract: Detachable auxiliary power systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, the power system comprises a housing with a cavity, and a detachable portion configured to be received into the cavity. The detachable portion includes a power source such as a rechargeable battery, and may include additional electrical circuits to manage the charge and discharge of the battery. The housing includes a cable for electrically connecting the housing to an external electrical system, such as a vehicle electrical system. When the detachable portion is inserted into the housing, it is electrically connected to the cable, and so able to be charged from the external electrical system, and selectively provide power from the power source to the external electrical system, such as for jump-starting a vehicle.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with an auxiliary power system design are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an auxiliary power system may be mounted within a vehicle or integrated into a starter battery of the vehicle. The auxiliary power system may include an auxiliary battery and circuitry coupled to the auxiliary battery and a vehicle electrical system of the vehicle. The vehicle electrical system may be used to start an engine of the vehicle. The circuitry may detect a trigger and couple the auxiliary battery to the vehicle electrical system in response to detection of the trigger. The auxiliary battery may provide power to the vehicle electrical system to start the engine of the vehicle when the auxiliary battery is coupled to the vehicle electrical system. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
