Technical Field The present invention is directed to a rechargeable battery jump starting device having a depleted or discharged battery pretreatment system. For example, the rechargeable battery jump starting device is a portable rechargeable battery jump starting device configured for jump starting automobiles, heavy equipment, commercial vehicles, commercial equipment, trucks, buses, commercial trucks, front end loaders, dozers, backhoes, excavators, road rollers, forklifts, dedicated commercial equipment, logging equipment, aircraft, jet aircraft, and other battery-powered vehicles and equipment. Background Currently, there are battery jump starters for lightweight applications such as jump starting automobiles. These lightweight jump starters have a power circuit that includes a battery cable that can be connected to a depleted (i.e., weak) or discharged vehicle or equipment battery. In addition, there are heavy battery jump starters that use conventional lead acid batteries. These bridge starters are very heavy (e.g., hundreds of pounds) in weight and are large in size, requiring movement, for example, using a forklift. Current heavy battery jump starters are not portable in any way. Accordingly, there is a need for a portable heavy-duty rechargeable battery jump starting device that has a significantly reduced weight and size to replace conventional heavy-duty battery jump starters. Further, there is a need for a portable heavy duty rechargeable battery jump starting device having removable positive and negative heavy duty cables. Additionally, there is a need for a rechargeable battery jump starting device having a primary switch backlighting system to assist a user in viewing a selectable position of a control switch to select a particular mode of operation of the portable rechargeable battery jump starting device in sunlight, dim light and darkness. Further, there is a need for a portable rechargeable battery jump starting device having a 12V mode of operation and a 24V mode of operation. In addition, there is a need for a rechargeable battery jump starting device having a dual battery diode bridge or a reverse charge diode module. Further, there is a need for a rechargeable battery jump starting device having a jump charging system. In addition, there is a need for a rechargeable battery jump starting device having a conductive frame, for example, a highly conductive rigid frame for conducting as much power as possible from the battery of the rechargeable battery jump starting device to the depleted or discharged battery being jumpered. In addition, there is a need for a rechargeable battery jump starting device that includes an improved battery assembly (e.g., a lithium ion battery assembly). In addition, there is a need for a heavy duty rechargeable battery jump starting device with an improved depleted or discharged battery detection system. In addition, there is a need for a rechargeable battery jumper start-up device with an improved depleted or discharged battery pretreatment system that facilitates jumper charging of a depleted or discharged battery or jumper starting of a vehicle or equipment having a depleted or discharged battery. The above-described desirable features of the rechargeable battery jump starting device may be used or applied to the rechargeable battery jump starting device disclosed in U.S. patent No. 9,007,015, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. U.S. patent 9,007,015 relates generally to an apparatus for cross-starting a battery-run-out or discharged vehicle. It is known in the art to provide either a pair of electrical connector cables for connecting a fully charged battery of another vehicle to an engine starting circuit of a vehicle with no
