Abstract

Automobile batteries are weakened by use, time, and cold temperatures. A battery depleted beyond a critical point will fail to provide adequate power to start the engine of a vehicle. Battery packs exist on the market to be used in such emergency situations, however their performance and shelf-life can be improved upon. We developed a device that addresses these issues and provides a more robust and dependable alternative.
