Subject:      battery info requested

Years back, there was a TV ad for a battery which had a special reserve (almost like a second battery within a battery) capability. The scene I recall was a guy's wife going into labor - they rushed outside to get in the car and go to the hospital, only to find that the battery had gone dead. However, with this special feature, they merely had to flip a switch of some sort, which called upon the other side of the battery, and the car would start in an emergency.

Does anyone remember who made this battery? Or if it is still being manufactured?

Thanx,

If you hear of one in in need of a good home/restoration, etc., please let me know. If you can't find me that, I'd take a good DC blender or coffee grinder.
