Hi I'm not sure a jump box would work
This is not a (2) minutes rapid drain
The mace grinds and pumps, it has a set Max flow rate
20 amps * minutes equal amp minutes
A (9) amp hr battery pack would have 270 amp minutes to 50% soc
How long to empty one 40 gal tank?
He has (2) tanks
10 minutes per tank would equal 400 amp minutes
Using 400 out of 540 total equal way below 50% soc
At that level will a jump box even keep the pump running to completely empty the second tank
Interesting, I was going to question the battery size considering a jump box rated at 400amp would eat more than 50% in under a minute of cranking but then looked it up and yes, they are that small.
Considering the price, I could buy an extra battery for the truck and a set of jumper cables for less money and have more power available.
