>> Hi Terri, 1, Although I don't have any model or part numbers to offer,

>> handle and case, inside of which is a led acid or other rechargeable
>> battery, usually rated at at least 7Amps minimum and 12volts output,
>> some of these have either a 117Vac line cord or a 117vac wall wart
>> charger, which plugs into the base unit, and charges the battery, or
>> an input for a supplied ciglighter cord which would plug into the cig
>> lighter output on a vehicle by which to charge the battery. Also

>> the vehicle in an emergency.
>> many of the base units also have output ciglighter or other types of
