Jump-starting a vehicle with a dead battery is especially inconvenient for the person with a disability if help is not available. The Auto Starter is a 12-volt DC power supply that can recharge a battery and start the vehicle without one having to leave the driver's seat. The 8-inch-long device plugs into the cigarette lighter. If it remains connected after the vehicle is running, the Auto Starter will recharge in 30-120 minutes. Its 5-amp sealed alkaline battery operates under extreme temperatures and will hold its charge for up to 5 years.
