    Don, jumpstarting question...

    I have a portable power pack and it has 750 peak amps. I know the battery requirement for my '11 250 Pro XS is higher but will this work to jumpstart my motor? Thanks.

    Will it work: Probably (depending on the discharge level of your battery).

    Is it wise to use this: ONLY in an EMERGENCY. There is <u>Absolutely no substitute for a FULLY CHARGED, PROPERLY CONNECTED BATTERY that has AMPLE RESERVE CAPACITY</u>.
