A portable power supply and recharging apparatus includes a housing that has a bottom wall and a peripheral wall that is attached to and extends upwardly from the bottom wall. The peripheral wall has an upper edge defining an opening into the housing. A cover is selectively coupled to the peripheral wall such that the cover closes the opening. A plurality of electrical contacts is mounted within the housing. The contacts are electrically coupled in series. A plurality of batteries is each removably positioned in the housing and each is in electrical connection with the electrical contacts. Each of a pair of female plugs adapted for receiving a male lighter plug is mounted in the peripheral wall. Each of the female plugs is electrically coupled to the electrical contacts. The male plug of electrical equipment may be selectively coupled to one of the female plugs.
