ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for transferring power from the battery of a service vehicle to the battery of a second vehicle, wherein the final connection between the batteries is made from a remote location via a radio transmitter and a receiver which is mounted in the casing of the apparatus to actuate a solenoid in response to a signal from the transmitter. The circuit between the solenoid and the receiver includes a transistor to control current through the solenoid coil and the base of the transistor is connected to the battery of the second vehicle. Cables used to attach the apparatus to the second vehicle battery are wound on a spool having an interrupted ratchet on one end thereof, the ratchet engaging a ratchet lock that pivots in one direction to hold the reel when the reel is turned in one direction to pay out the battery cables and the ratchet lock pivoting in the other direction within a ratchet wheel interruption to permit free rotation of the reel in the opposite direction for retrieval of the cables on the reel.
