7. Color LED indicators can be used for hazard lights or battery capacity.
8. The rollout handle can be used as adjustable lamp.

The idea in this design is to create a multi-functional power and light source fit for home, outdoor activities, and automotive use. Despite the original jump starter, USB and 12/19V mobile device power, and the LED light, I added more functionalities to it.
The first is the handle. The 2-7/8" width with 1" height is not comfortable for holding long time. Therefore, I designed this rotatable rollout handle bar that reduces the grasping width and provides more ways of holding the light. It can be held with only three fingers or one mouth when we need both hands to work on. On the handle, there are several color LEDs which can be used for camp lantern, hazard light, and indication of charging status.
The second is the wireless charging. Since more and more personal devices support wireless charging, this would be a good feature to include so that people do not need to find a USB cable and get spaghetti everywhere on the table. Therefore, I choose a relatively simpler style so that people will not feel awkward using it on the desk with their laptops or Smartphones. With the handle spinning out, it becomes a Smartphone charging stand backup power during the long trip on the airplane or megabus.
The last is the magnetic backing. The magnets on the side allow attachment to the engine lid, bike frame, or the side door. When I was watching the testing video, it was not secure for me to leave the battery on the car battery and walk back to start the engine. It may cost more if the battery dropped or the charging cable gets jammed between the running engine belt. Also, if the car needs the jump start during the night, it would be better to have the light while connecting wires. With the magnets side, it can be easily attached to the engine lid which provide lighting for wiring and secured place while starting the engine.
Overall, it is not just a battery with LED flashlight and charger. It is an irreplaceable device in our daily life.
