ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for analyzing operation of the electrical supply system of an automobile and for starting an automobile having a discharged battery comprises a battery mounted on a mobile cart. A jumper cable is attached to one of the terminals of the battery. A relay switch having a pair of normally open contacts is provided, with one of the contacts connected to the other terminal of the battery. A second jumper cable is attached to the other contact of the relay switch. The jumper cables are adapted to be attached to the respective terminals of the discharged battery in the automobile being serviced. Circuit means are provided for selectively energizing the coil of the relay switch and thereby completing the connection between the second jumper cable and the battery on the cart. The circuit means also includes a first test probe connected in series with a switch to the battery, whereby the first test probe can be selectively energized for testing electrical components of the automobile being serviced as well as providing electrical energy to the ignition of such automobile. A second test probe is connected to the circuitry which energizes the coil of the relay switch, so that the second test probe is energized whenever the coil of the relay switch is energized. The second test probe can be used for testing electrical components of the automobile being serviced as well as providing electrical energy directly to the starter of such automobile.
