Abstract

A high frequency charger includes a charge circuit (12) for charging a depleted battery (21) and a boost circuit (16) for jump-starting a vehicle. Two separate high frequency transformers (14, 18) are provided for the charge and boost circuits a selector (30) switch selectively activates at least one of the charging circuit and the boost circuit.
