    Abstract: A portable, electronic device provides base functions as an illuminated key holder, a recharging system, and an accessory light, as well as extended functions. The internal Nicad battery power supply can be recharged from a variety of sources. With the device plugged into a recharging source such as a cigarette lighter socket, a special docking mechanism interfaces with it to power or recharge a variety of electronic devices. The docking unit provides a universal adaptor to mate with several different popular socket sizes. In the best mode an audio recorder and playback device is combined with the flashlight and key chain apparatus. This enables both voice recording and playback. A map light mounting system enables the module to be held in a desired position within a vehicle to provide a mounted light source once the key ring is removed.
