Good point.  If your source isn't the vehicle battery it has to be
able to supply several amps at twelve volts to run the blower at all,
and twelve or more to run it at full speed.  Typically the only
easily available source that will do this will be a lead-acid battery
of some sort or maybe a ten-amp battery charger (not a desirable
source without a battery hooked to it).  One of those jump-start
packs would be fine.

Yrs,
