A portable battery jump start unit of the type having a portable housing containing a battery to which cables carrying battery clamps are permanently connected. The clamps are stored on rectangular posts on the sides of the housing, with flat areas on the jaw ends of the clamps held against the flat sides of the posts to prevent rotation. An end plate on each post prevents the clamps from slipping off. A storage compartment for a battery charger has slots in its bottom panel to receive electrical prongs of the charger body to hold the charger body in place when stored.
