Abstract: A battery charger for use on lead acid and dry cell batteries having a polarity detection mechanism, automated current routing circuitry and connected adaptive illumination. The battery charger of the present invention includes an internal battery, an external battery, a solenoid-type switching device and a control circuit. When connected and activated, input from the battery to be jump-started is routed through a control circuit so as to function in conjunction with the internal battery to activate one of a pair of solenoids so as to provide a proper pathway that ensures the configured to provide safe, spark free jump-starting, as well as convenient illumination to the user.

Abstract: A spotlight having pivotable locking handle, a rechargeable battery connected to a light bulb, housed in a housing, including an on/off switch and a variable switch varying the amount of current powering the light bulb thereby providing for a generally infinite adjustment of light intensity within a designated range.
