Jump Start Battery
“When my old portable jump start battery recently went bad, I got the idea to make my own. I kept the cables and bolted them to a side post car battery that I bought used for $10. Now I have a jump start battery with twice as much power as my old one, and it’ll last a lot longer, too,” says Larry Wood, Waldo, Ohio.
  He used a short length of pvc pipe and some nylon rope to make a handle to carry the battery around.
  “It’s a simple idea but it’s really practical,” says Wood. “Good used car batteries sell for $10 to $20. When I’m not using the battery, I double the cables back and clamp the leads onto them so they’re out of the way.”
