CAT 1750 Amp Lithium Power Station Review: PPSCL3 Boost & Compressor Test
Is the CAT 1750 Amp Lithium Power Station (PPSCL3) the ultimate emergency kit for your truck? In this video, I perform a full "ToolSpecs" review and torture test on this compact 4-in-1 unit found at Costco and Amazon.
As a licensed mechanic, I break down the 1750A jump-starting ability, the built-in 120 PSI air compressor, and the 200W AC outlet. We compare the weight of this 4.76 lb lithium unit to the old 10.5 lb lead-acid versions and test the real-world inflation speed on a Dodge Ram tire.
In this video, we cover:
Unboxing & Accessories: What comes in the bag?
Charging Requirements: Why you must charge it before first use (11.4V vs 12.4V).
The 6-Button Interface: How to use the jump starter, compressor, and LED light.
Real-World Test: Boosting a 2019 Dodge Ram and 6 PSI tire inflation time.
Reverse Polarity Protection: Testing the safety features so you don't fry your electronics.
Whether you are camping or prepping for a power outage, the CAT PPSCL3 is a versatile power source for your phone (USB-C 30W) and small appliances.
