MILWAUKEE, Jan. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton® (NYSE: BGG) introduces the new P2200
PowerSmart Series™ inverter generator. Equipped with parallel
capabilities, it can be tethered together with either a second
P2200 or a P3000 inverter for additional quiet, consistent
power.
The P2200 is the latest addition to the Briggs & Stratton
PowerSmart Series™ lineup of inverter generators, which is
exclusively designed for any outdoor recreation and tailagating
activity in which a reliable and quiet power source is an
expectation.
"Outdoor recreation enthusiasts who require more power than a
standard 2- or 3-kilowatt inverter, but still want the benefit of
quiet operation, now have the ability to connect two Briggs &
Stratton PowerSmart Series inverter units," said Dan Roche, director of marketing for Briggs
& Stratton's Portable Power and Cleaning Systems group. "This
provides tailgaters and campers with the additional power needed to
run their RV's HVAC unit, while simultaneously keeping the lights
on, cell phones charging and music playing."
The new PowerSmart Series P2200 offers a convenient control
panel that includes three outlets (two 120-volt outlets and one
12-volt DC battery-charging outlet) and a USB adapter to offer the
flexibility to power an extensive combination of lights, music,
TVs, crock pots, blenders and personal electronics. The inverter
technology automatically adjusts the engine speed to protect
sensitive elctronics like smart phones, tablets and laptops. Best
of all, it operates at 59 decibles*, so it's quieter than a normal
conversation to blend into the background of social settings.
The new PowerSmart Series P2200 is powerful, but lightweight. It
has 1,700 running watts and 2,200 starting watts** and while being
up to 45-percent lighter than traditional camping generators. A
twin-handle design makes it easy for two people to lift and
transport the generator from one location to the next.
