An improved jump starter system where at least one negative clamp/clip for the system is replaced with a magnet to allow a user to easily place the magnet on a dead metal area of the vehicle for an improved electrical connection. The improved jump starter preferably incorporates at least one grounding magnet to replace the conventional negative clamp. The grounding magnet provides for an alternative and improved way for making electrical connection by the negative/neutral cable. The improved jumper system is particularly idea for use in the automotive industry where a jump start system is used where the vehicle battery is depleted, as the improved jump starter system uses a magnet connection which improves the success for an engine start by providing a solid connection and closing the circuit between the jump starter and the vehicle battery.

Various types of travel bags are provided with at least one portable self-contained vacuum compression system having a portable vacuum pump powered by a portable, preferably removable, rechargeable battery, a compression connection system, and a vacuum compression bag secured within the interior space of the travel bag. The portable self-contained vacuum compression system allows the user to pack more clothing or compressible goods into their travel bag via the use of vacuum compression. The air inside the compression bag can be evacuated by the attached self-contained vacuum pump assembly which is secured within the travel bag in a manner to hold the self-contained vacuum system within the travel bag's internal dimensions in one embodiment. The vacuum compression system can be held in place via a removable or a fixed frame that permits operation of the vacuum compression system within the internal dimensions of the travel bag. The vacuum pump can exhaust vented air either to the atmosphere within the travel bag or via an exhaust vent built into the travel bag. The compression bag can be attached to the vacuum system via a compression connection system or fastener having a back flow check valve which permits the one way flow of air from the compression bag into the vacuum pump system and also provides a seating and sealing function of the compression bag connected with the vacuum pump to maintain the air tightness between the vacuum compression bag and the vacuum pump system. The clothing or other compressed goods can remain in their compressed state within the travel bag until such time that the user opens the compression bag which will release the vacuum seal and permits the user to access the contents of the vacuum compression bag. The fully portable and reusable characteristics of the self-contained vacuum compression system will permit the user to remove some or all of the travel bag contents and to recompress the remaining or replaced travel bag contents.
