The HUSKY® PORTABLE POWER SYSTEM is a durable and portable jump-
start system for vehicles and boats that have a standard 12 Vol t battery
system. This self-contained, rechargeable system will start most vehicles and
boats without need of a host vehicle. It can also be used as a safe, portable
source of 12 Volt DC electric power in remote locations and/or emergency
situations.
The HUSKY® POWER SYSTEM has an easy-to-read digital display that
shows the battery vol t age. Battery l e vel can be vi e wed by pressi n g the
Battery Voltage pushbutton. A 12 Vol t DC accessory outlet is provided for
use with appliances that can operate from a vehicle 12 Vol t DC accessory
outlet. This allows maximum portability and utility when the JUMP-
STARTER/POWER PACK is used in remote locations.
The HUSKY® PORTABLE POWER SYSTEM can be recharged from any
standard 120 Volt AC power source. A built-in 12 Volt appliance outlet and
the appropriate DC/DC charging/adapter cord is used to recharge the
battery from another 12 Volt DC source. When the Battery Vol t age
pushbutton is pressed, the unit shows the battery voltage on the display. An
ON/OFF pushbutton operates the built-in area light.
Use the HUSKY® PORTABLE POWER SYSTEM to:
• Jump-start any engine system with a standard 12 Vol t DC battery: boat;
truck; car; airplane; RV; personal watercraft; snowmobile; garden tractor;
gasoline engine generator, etc.
