Used as an Alternative Power Supply for Vehicles - Model ES6000 Only
Your Truck PAC is an essential tool for all who replace automobile batteries.
Most vehicles have electronic components with memory, such as alarm systems,
computers, radios, phones, etc. and when the vehicle’s battery is replaced, the
memory is lost. However, if the power extension cord is plugged from the Truck PAC
to the 12 Volt outlet on the vehicle, the memories can be saved.
Note: To use the Truck PAC for this purpose, the chosen outlet must be live when the
vehicle is turned OFF. On some vehicles, 12 Volt outlets are deactivated when the
vehicle is turned OFF.
Note: The DC outlet on Model No. ES8000 is a 24 Volt outlet and should not be
connected to vehicle 12 Volt power outlets.
WARNING
Never hook up a 12 Volt DC power source to a 24 Volt DC vehicle. This will grossly
overcharge the 12 Volt power source and generate flammable gasses that may explode
and cause property damage and/or bodily harm.
