.....usually it is a generator/alternator with a gasoline engine turning it.....w/2 X 20'long jumper cables mounted on a flat plate with a cover over it.....usually just pull the rope and hook it the cars battery and it will give it a "HOT SHOT" and turn over the engine in a short period of time.....I'd like one with about 300 amps for a kicker if I run down/wipe out a battery....kinda like a 2nd option...should I have a system failure.....gasoline stations used to use them to jump dead/cold batterys instead of using the electrical system in their wreckers as it eats the electric system usually in a winter....these prevent those issues....we used them for boats for years but I have no access to them now....I sold the business and all the gizmos with it....geof kaye
