A portable power source for starting a variety of outdoor power equipment, particularly a portable generator. The portable power source generally includes a housing, an electrochemical power supply, a switch, and a connector connected to the switch. The switch may be electrically connected to the electrochemical power supply and, using a conductor (e.g., a cable), the connector is operable to be electrically connected to a starter motor associated with the outdoor power equipment. The portable power source is adapted to be used as a primary power source and as an auxiliary power source. The portable power source can also includes an integrated light, an air compressor, a power supply indicator, and one or more inputs and outputs to receive and provide direct current ("DC") and alternating current ("AC").

What is claimed is: 1. An engine-driven-power-equipment system comprising: engine-driven power equipment comprising an alternator, an internal combustion engine coupled to the alternator, a starter motor coupled to the internal combustion engine, a cable hardwired to the starter motor, and a first connector electrically connected to the cable; a hand-held, portable power source for use as a primary power source configured to start the engine-driven power equipment, the portable power source comprising a housing, an electrochemical power supply supported by the housing, a second connector mating with the first connector, and a switch coupled to the housing and electrically connected to the electrochemical power supply and the second connector, the switch adapted to control power from the power supply to the second connector. 2. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first and second conductors are readily disconnectable. 3. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the switch comprises a START position with a momentary contact, and wherein actuation of the switch to the START position electrically connects the electrochemical power supply to the starter motor. 4. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the housing supports the second connector and the switch. 5. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the engine-driven power equipment further comprises a frame, and wherein the frame supports the alternator, the internal combustion engine, and the starter motor. 6. A system as set forth in claim 5 wherein the switch is a first switch, wherein the frame further supports a second switch electrically connected in circuit with the starter motor, the cable, and the first connector, the second switch comprising a START position with a momentary contact, wherein the first switch includes an ON position with a fixed contact, and wherein actuation of the second switch to the START position and the actuation of the first switch to the ON position electrically connects the electrochemical power supply to the starter motor. 7. A system as set fourth in claim 6 wherein the frame comprises an operation panel supporting the first switch and a fuel-enrichment device. 8. A system as set forth in claim 7 wherein the fuel-enrichment device and the switch are in close proximity. 9. A system as set forth in claim 8 wherein the fuel enrichment device comprises at least one of a choke and a primer. 10. A system as set forth in claim 5 wherein the engine-driven power equipment further comprises a tray supported by the frame and adapted to receive the portable power source, and wherein the tray supports the first connector. 11. A system as set forth in claim 10 wherein the tray receives the portable power source on a first side and wherein the tray comprises a support on a second side opposite the first side. 12. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the portable power source further comprises a charging input connector supported by the housing and adapted to receive at least one of alternating current and direct current to charge the electrochemical power supply. 13. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the portable power source further comprises a power supply condition indicator supported by the housing. 14. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the portable power source further comprises an air compressor supported by the housing. 15. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the portable power source further comprises an inverter supported by the housing and an output connector coupled to the inverter, the output connector to supply alternating current. 16. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the portable power source further comprises an integrated light supported by the housing. 17. A system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the electrochemical power supply comprises at least one of a battery and a fuel cell. 18. An engine-driven-power-equipment system, the system comprising: engine-driven power equipment comprising an alternator, an internal combustion engine coupled to the alternator, a starter motor coupled to the internal combustion engine, a conductor hardwired to the starter motor, and a tray comprising a first connector electrically connected to the conductor; a portable power source supported by the tray, the portable power source comprising a housing, an electrochemical power supply supported by the housing, a second connector mating with the first connector, and a switch coupled to the housing and electrically connected to the electrochemical power supply and the second connector, the switch adapted to control power from the power supply to the second connector. 19. A system as set forth in claim 18 wherein the first and second connectors are readily disconnectable. 20. A system as set forth in claim 18 wherein the switch comprises a START position with a momentary contact, and wherein actuation of the switch to the START position electrically connects the electrochemical power supply to the starter motor. 21. A system as set forth in claim 18 wherein the housing supports the second connector and the switch. 22. A system as set forth in claim 18 wherein the engine-driven power equipment further comprises a frame, and wherein the frame supports the alternator, the internal combustion engine, and the starter motor. 23. A system as set forth in claim 22 wherein the switch is a first switch wherein the frame further supports a second switch electrically connected in circuit with the starter motor, the cable, and the first connector, the second switch comprising a START position with a momentary contact, wherein the first switch includes an ON position with a fixed contact, and wherein actuation of the second switch to the START position and the actuation of the first switch to the ON position electrically connects the electrochemical power supply to the starter motor. 24. A system as set fourth in claim 23 wherein the frame comprises an operation panel supporting the first switch and a fuel-enrichment device. 25. A system as set forth in claim 24 wherein the fuel-enrichment device and the switch are in close proximity. 26. A system as set forth in claim 25 wherein the fuel enrichment device comprises at least one of a choke and a primer. 27. A system as set forth in claim 18 wherein the tray receives the portable power source on a first side and wherein the tray comprises a support on a second side opposite the first side. 28.
