Question:
Can the patriot 2022 be used in my 2022 Chevy Spark manual transmission vehicle where the battery needs to be disconnected to tow? Can I use my Jackery power pack to supply power to the unit and will the brakes work properly without having power from the battery?

Expert Reply:
As long as your Jackery portable power station has a 12v cigarette-style outlet to power the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR you'll be able to use the two together. The only concern is that you ensure that the power station has enough of a charge to last the length of your trip.
What I typically recommend for vehicles that require disconnecting the battery is to install a 12v outlet # RM-9332 that can be wired directly to the battery and then you'll always have power for the Patriot (as long as the battery has a charge). If you go this route I recommend also installing a charge line kit # RM-156-25 to charge the battery through the 7-way connection to the motorhome. Then you never have to worry about the battery being dead when you reach your destination.
