Amazon.com Product Description
There are many times when extra power is needed, but not available. If an outlet is not within reach or plugging into the dashboard cigarette lighter is simply not an option, you'll be pleased that you have the Xantrex Powerpack 200. This device is an all-in-one unit that is not only powerful enough to start your car, but robust enough to provides portable power for small appliances -- it even comes with a built-in air compressor for all your inflating needs. 
The Xantrex Powerpack 200 has enough power to jump-start your vehicle and run small appliances. View larger. | 
It comes with a built-in air compressor for tires and other inflation needs. | 
The clamps secure to the side of the Powerpack to ensure they don't get lost. | Enough Power to Jump-Start Your Car
Powered by a rechargeable battery, the Powerpack 200 provides up to 200 watts of AC power. It can jump start most 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines, and will operate a wide range of DC-powered products. This unit is ideal for power emergencies and comes with a built-in emergency light for extra illumination and jumper cables. Inflate Tires and Sports Equipment
The Powerpack 200 also comes with a 250 psi air compressor for inflating vehicle tires, small sports equipment, camping equipment, pool toys, and more. Power Additional Appliances
The unit also has the ability to power small appliances such as cell phones, laptops, lights, radios, nearly anything you might need in an emergency situation. Great for Outings
The Powerpack 200 isn't just for times of need. It is perfect for taking on camping trips or outings where some extra power is needed to run camcorders, video games, televisions, even your espresso machine. Safety Mechanisms
The feature-rich Powerpack 200 has a built-in 200-watt inverter, a sealed, non-spillable 12 amp-hour AGM battery, and a reverse polarity detector to prevent accidentally clamping the cables onto the wrong terminals. A barragraph LED indicator monitors the Powerpack's battery charge level, so it won't overcharge, and an audible alarm signals unit overheat and battery under-voltage conditions. An overload and over-temperature protection is built in to ensure longer inverter life. Accessories
It comes equipped with an AC charger to recharge it from a standard wall outlet, and a DC charging cable to recharge from your vehicle so that it can be recharged anywhere, anytime, so it will always be ready when you need it. The jumper clips are designed for easy storage on the unit, so there's no need to worry about them getting separated and lost. No matter who you are, the XPower Powerpack 200 Plus is a great addition to your vehicle's emergency-preparedness kit.

 Little Battery that CAN October 14, 2008
I've owned the PowerPack 200 for two years now. It's a WELL designed, versatile product. Functions are clearly marked and mutually exclusive so LOTS of built-in safety! Switches are precise. I love it.
I own a pontoon boat and have used the PP200 as a power source to inflate large water toys (with their 12V pump). Also have run a laptop computer on board. It's very handy to pump up bicylce tires or small trailer tires.
I carry it to the boat with every outing. I find the built-in molded handle ideal to grip with ROOM for your fingers.
On our last outing we returned near dark and found my daughter's car would NOT start. Parking was precarious with odd positions of the cars. I used the PP200 to start her car. It was EASY to connect and worked well. There would not have been another way to do it. The PP200 was worth EVERY penny that night.
Sooner or later I anticipate "emergency" starting my boat or ANOTHER boat in trouble.
Xantrex Power Prodcuts don't dissapoint August 31, 2008
Xantrex makes a wide line of power invertors, backup battery 'generators', charge controllers and the like primarily for industrial grade applications like solar power generation. I also have their 1000W power invertor. These products are built to last.
Saying that, i was still skeptical about this lower power battery backup of 200W - but this has not let me down, except in 1 application - the built in non-LED flashlight drains battery power to half in as little as 20 minutes. I suspect the 12V batter has low amp-hours.
Otherwise, the size for features is right: you can lift and store this small unit easily in the trunk. 12V female plug, AC receptacle, Charging alligator clips, and cleverly incorporated tire inflator. Amazon's price is quite comparable to other sites (despite amazon being a little expensive most of the time.)
Neat gadget June 20, 2008
On a single charge I used the compressor to top off two tires and fill two more that were almost flat. The device reports that it has some power left even after that. The compressor is not speedy, but I wouldn't expect it to be. After all the compressor use I did notice that the rubber hose got pretty darned hot. It does not seem to have affected anything though and I doubt the compressor was meant to fill up four tires in a row like that. I don't have any complaints so far given the price and what I think it was designed for. I think I got a decent value for what I paid.
 Bad deal June 11, 2008
The battery part of the unit seems ok. After two years of usage it still works. The compressor part is a piece of junk made in China. I used it 4 times and it broke. Xantrex cannot get parts for it and does not fix it. So if you buy the unit for the battery powered compressor like I did, this is a bad deal.
Great backup battery, but limited use as air pump May 28, 2008
This is a great backup battery and love the "portable outlet" feature of it. The jumper cables are a great idea but I luckily haven't needed to use that yet. The flashlight has come in handy as well. I found the air compressor to be too weak for much value unfortunately, but it might be OK in a pinch.
In practice I use this more for portable power camping and such then for emergencies.
I do wish that they had a USB outlet or better yet a mini USB charger cable build right in to power USB powered devices. I also wish the air compressor had a bit more power.
