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.

 Same problem here - doesn't hold a charge January 24, 2010

I experienced the same problem as the other reviewer - the unit didn't hold a charge even after 72+ hours of charging. Ordered a replacement unit within a week and couldn't believe it, but also this one had the problem and I needed to return again !

I've used it and it works great. Jumps your car, fills the tires, light when you need it. Worth what you pay every time you use it.

Buyers should be aware of the following problem. The recharging system has what tech support described as a "low-charge cutoff", which is designed to keep the battery from falling below a minimum level of charge. The problem occurs when the unit falls below the minimum charge which can happen if you leave it sitting around for a while. When the unit is plugged into an outlet to charge the battery, the "low power cutoff" prevents the battery from being charged, so you find yourself in a catch-22. The battery cannot be charged because the "cutoff" mechanism prevents the battery from being used OR EVEN CHARGED! (A red light accompanied by a clicking sound is heard when this occurs) Tech support's recommendation is to turn the unit upside-down for 24hrs (I kid you not) and try again. If this dosen't work, their recommendation is to throw it away and buy a new one. My recommendation is to avoid buying the charger at all until they reengineer it to not self-destruct. Caveat Emptor.
No Help Xantrex never even replied.. AC outlet DEAD. January 16, 2009

Every other feature still works as should. AC outlet dead. And, no it is not the fuses. Tried contacting them several times - no joy. Won't see me buy from Xantrex again. Very disappointed, not only in the dead outlet, but in the complete lack of customer care.

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.
