Improvised Car Battery Charger

OK so it's Tuesday Morning. You've cancelled the same job three times in the last week because of various reasons, and today you have one more. You've left the inverter plugged in in the car for two days, and the airconditioner backup battery charger and the Aura Interactor cushion built in to the seat have conspired to leave you with insufficient charge to start the car. To top it off, the ground is flat except for the small dip into the shed - small but too big to get out for one weedy person alone. What to do?

You fish around for the following items:

An old 15V 3A laptop power supply. (Epson this time.)
As many extension cables as you can find.
As much speaker cabling as you can find.
A Cigarette Lighter Plug
Your Multimeter.
The Cat.

You Join them all together and fit the cigarette lighter plug to the end, and you plug it in and tell the customer you'll be two hours late. (Word of warning - use DC power supply, get Positive to Positive or it will go BANG, and unplug it before you try to start the car - your car is not a laptop and can use more power :)) )
