Designed for use on the road or at home during emergency blackouts, the Jazz portable Power 250 uses an electronic device, known as an inverter, to
produce power from a battery source.
Jazz has two AC electric outlets to run items like TVs, hand-held games, computers, and lamps. DC power from the system can also jump-start or trucks. Unlike standard jump-start products, Jazz offers the advantage of a safety feature that warns (and shuts down) if cables are connected incorrectly to a vehicle’s battery.

The Jazz system integrates a 17 amp-hour battery and 250-watt inverter to produce AC power. For convenience and safety, the product has a built-in fluorescent light. With a run time of more than twenty hours, the light source is highly useful during an extended power outage. The system also features a DC power port that can be used to run 12-volt products like mobile phones or air pumps.
The unit can be recharged by plugged into a standard wall outlet using the AC charger or from a vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket using the DC charge cable, or by using a solar panel.

The Jazz unit also includes: A true plug-in-and-forget recharging system that maintains the battery at its optimal charge state; Battery status indicators that display the battery’s charge level; The ability to significantly extend operating times by connecting to an external battery using supplied
cables; and a sealed, AGM lead acid battery that is consumer replaceable and located behind an easy-to-remove access panel.
