Abstract: Method and apparatus for surface charging an automobile battery is presented. The apparatus comprises a plurality of batteries configured in series to provide a surface charge to a target battery in a vehicle. A surface charge provides a time limited window in which to start the vehicle after its battery has been discharged. The plurality of batteries in the apparatus does not have to be discarded after their charge has been depleted because the apparatus further comprises a charging circuit for recharging the used batteries from the target battery. Recharging the plurality of batteries, which are normally “non-rechargeable”, at least once provides a destination for used batteries that would otherwise be discarded. Embodiments may comprise an LED to signify when a target battery has sufficient surface charge to warrant an attempt to start the vehicle. The apparatus is a small portable device that can stored anywhere in the vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus for charging an automobile battery is presented. The device provides a surface charge with a time limited window in which to start a vehicle. Use of used batteries provides for environmentally effective manner in which to deal with the tremendous amount of used batteries that are discarded worldwide each year. The apparatus may optionally include a charging circuit to allow for recharging the used batteries. An LED display may be included to provide indication when a target battery has sufficient surface charge to warrant an attempt to start an engine. The apparatus is a small portable device that can be stored anywhere in a vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for recharging non-rechargeable batteries. Utilizes a non-zero offset voltage at a non-zero frequency (a combined DC and AC voltage) to charge a “non-rechargeable” DC battery at a desired voltage. The direct current is used to charge a DC battery and the alternating current is used to perform chemical compound ion reversals at a sufficient speed to allow the dc to penetrate the layers of stratified charges created in the battery during normal use discharge. These stratified charge layers normally act as resistances to DC charging when standard DC battery chargers are employed in an attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries, such as primary alkaline batteries. The stratified layers act as capacitors to DC, not allowing them to pass the charged layer, but rather resist the DC and create heat and resulting pressure that can eventually cause leakage.
