A portable power system assembly that includes a portable power system (PPS) and a dock. The dock is mountable to a vehicle and includes a PPS holding tray and an actuator arm, with the actuator arm capable of being pivoted from a first position to a second position, the holding tray including a PPS receiving station and a PPS securing station, and the securing station including electrical supply terminals. The PPS includes a housing with opposing ends, there being mating electrical terminals at one end and at least one abutment region at the other end for engagement with the actuator arm. The actuator arm engages with the abutment region of a PPS in the receiving station to move, during pivoting of the actuator arm from its first position to its second position, the PPS from the receiving station to the securing station for mating electrical engagement of the PPS and dock electrical terminals, and, in its second position, the actuator arm engages with the PPS in the securing station to releasably lock the PPS in the securing station.
