When you’re heading bush, having power
at hand can really be something that could save your life. Remote areas
can have stretches of hundreds of kilometres that have no services or
help at hand, so a portable power pack can help get your truck back on
track and get you back to safety.
WallCann, an Australian owned company, has released the new TITAN-533 Power Mate in both Australia and America.
It’s a 6 in 1 Multi Function heavy duty emergency backup power supply
including jump starter, air compressor, 12V DC power, 240V AC power
inverter and LED light.
In an emergency, the mighty 1800A jump starter delivers 700CCA (Cold
Cranking Amps) of power. So in the event of your battery dying from
running a heap of accessories or utilising your winch to the maximum,
this will get your engine cranking again in no time at all. It can
restart everything from eight-cylinder petrols to 4.5L diesels.
It will also breathe life back into a flat battery via its nifty 12V
22Ah rechargeable sealed battery, so if you have an alternator problem,
this sure will come in handy.
Another thing that always strikes in the bush is a flat tyre. Most
4WDs will have an air compressor on board, but they’re not invincible.
If
you get caught out with a flat on the tracks with no spare and your
compressor dies, the TITAN-533 has a built-in compressor to pump
the tyre back up to pressure. It can also be used to pump up an air mattress, bicycle tyres and footballs for the kids.
A cigarette style as well as a USB 2.1A power outlet is built into
the unit to power mobile devices, lights, portable fridges and other
low-voltage devices to avoid using your main battery power. A 400W
modified sine wave power inverter with twin sockets allows you to power
those accessories that need an extra bit of juice to get going. The LED
display shows the battery level, gives you a live view of how the
battery is performing and doubles as a pressure meter when the
compressor is activated.
Built to withstand tough conditions, the power pack is encased in a
tough rubber edged shell to absorb knocks and rugged usage, but is also
light and compact weighing in at 9.5kg to allow an easy fit into a fully packed 4WD.
This TITAN Power Mate is not just for emergencies, you can take it
camping, travelling or is simply handy to have around the house due to
its portable features. Do everything from light up your campsite,
inflate your air bed or rubber raft or power your laptop and charge your
phone on the tracks.
Included in the package, are the AC and DC chargers as well as a free
dual adaptor for the12V DC cigarette lighter socket, converting the
Power Mates standard vehicle cigarette lighter socket into two, allowing for connection of multiple 12V DC devices.
