1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting the HUSKY® PORTABLE POWER SYSTEM. This compact
Power System is unique in the amount of energy it can supply for its size. The internal
battery is a high density sealed, lead-acid battery that stores and delivers energy
comparable to larger jump-starters. Please read this guide carefully before use to ensure
the highest performance and to avoid damage to the unit or items with which you are
using it.
The HUSKY® PORTABLE POWER SYSTEM is a durable and portable jump-
start system for vehicles and boats that have a standard 12 Volt 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 voltage. Battery level can be viewed by pressing the
BatteryVoltage pushbutton. A 12 Volt DC accessory outlet is provided for
use with appliances that can operate from a vehicle 12 Volt 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 BatteryVoltage
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 Volt DC battery: boat;
truck; car; airplane; RV; personal watercraft; snowmobile; garden tractor;
gasoline engine generator, etc.
• Operate: 12 Volt DC fans, fluorescent worklights, cellular phones (can
quick-charge a cellular phone by using the phone’s 12 Volt DC adapter
cord), spotlights, TVs, portable radios, cassette or CD players, and more.
• Operate: 120 Volt AC appliances, radio, laptop computer, and more.
• Inflate: Automobile tires, bicycle tires, air mattresses, basketballs, volley
balls, and more.
