Packed away in the bottom of N9103D's onboard ‘aircraft support kit' is a set of 1 AWG jumper cables, which connect to the ’Star’s Odyssey ER30 battery via a matching SB175 connector installed on the plane.

Before upgrading the previous Odyssey PC680 battery to the ER30 several years ago, the cables saved the day during a nearby fuel stop when the previous battery failed to start the engine just before dusk. Luckily, a friendly local pilot helped jump-started the ‘Star with the cables connected to his truck battery, enabling the flight home before dark.
