1. A jump starting device with a depleted or discharged battery pre-conditioning system, the device comprising:
a power supply comprising a rechargeable battery;
a supplemental power supply comprising a second rechargeable battery;
a battery cable assembly for connecting the jump starting device to a positive terminal and a negative terminal of the depleted or discharged battery;
a depleted or discharged battery pre-conditioning control for applying power to the depleted or discharged battery from one of the power supply and the supplemental power supply during a pre-conditioning stage before a vehicle with the depleted or discharged battery is jump started; and
a safety control system configured to detect when the jump starting device is properly connected to the depleted or discharged battery and then switch on power from the power supply to the depleted or discharged battery only when the jump starting device is properly connected to the depleted or discharged battery,
wherein the jump starting device is configured to jump start the-vehicle using power from the power supply after the pre-conditioning stage.
