ABSTRACT:
A vehicle battery system includes a battery for providing electric current to a starter of the vehicle through a first electrical cable, and for providing and receiving electric current to and from, respectively, a remote battery through a second electrical cable for recharging a certain one of the batteries. A casing of the battery has a pair of spaced electrodes incorporated therein which establish electrical contact with an electrolyte solution contained in the casing. A pair of universal plugs is embedded in the casing and is electrically connected to the electrodes by electrical conductors also embedded in the casing. Each universal plug includes a prong and a receptacle so that the plugs are engageable with other similar universal plugs in a single orientation for maintaining proper electrical polarity therebetween. A universal plug is attached to one end of both the first and second electrical cables for engaging the plugs of the system battery. The opposite end of the first electrical cable is electrically connected to the starter and a ground of the vehicle. The opposite end of the second electrical cable has a universal plug attached thereto which is mounted on the grille of the vehicle for engaging a universal plug of a booster cable adapted to be electrically connected to a remote battery. Another embodiment of the invention includes an adapter for converting a vehicle battery of the type having a pair of spaced terminal posts to a type having a pair of universal plugs.
