Important: Prior to operating your 12V DC appliance, ensure that the battery of the Duracell Powerpack Pro is fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged, recharging with the AC cord may take up to 24 hours.

Recharging with the AC cord is a true “plug-in-and-forget” charging method. We recommend leaving the AC cord connected when the Duracell Powerpack Pro is not in use.

CAUTION: Do not operate DC appliances with the Duracell Powerpack Pro while the Duracell Powerpack Pro is being recharged with the AC cord. The AC cord may be permanently damaged if 12V DC appliances are operated while the AC cord is connected.

Charging / Recharging with the AC Cord

Disconnect any 12V DC appliances from the DC power outlets.
Insert the AC cord end into the AC cord input socket located below the front panel (see Page 3).
Plug the AC cord into a standard AC wall outlet. The Battery Status LED changes from red to green when charging is complete (about 24 hours if the battery is completely discharged).

Important: The 24-hour charging time for the Duracell Powerpack Pro assumes that there is 120 V AC at the AC wall outlet. If the voltage is less than 120 V AC, it may take more than 24 hours to fully recharge the Duracell Powerpack Pro. If, after 24 hours of charging, the Battery Status LED remains red, continue to charge the unit for another 12 hours. The unit will be ready for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.

Important: The Duracell Powerpack Pro is not suitable for use with certain products and loads. See Precautions on Page 24.

Important: If you keep the Duracell Powerpack Pro in storage, the battery will discharge over time. Remember to recharge the battery every three months to keep the Duracell Powerpack Pro operational.

Connect your USB device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to a USB port using the USB cable supplied with your device, then push the “USB On/Off” button. Charging will start and up to 2.4 Amps of current can be supplied by the port(s). The USB device controls the amount of current supplied. The Powerpack Pro never “pushes” more than required by the devices. Push the “On/Off” button when done.

Operating AC Appliances

Understanding AC Appliances

AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in watts) they consume. Your Duracell Powerpack Pro can power most appliances within its continuous power rating (Powerpack Pro 300: 240 W, 2 A / Powerpack Pro 600: 480 W, 2A). Some appliances may be difficult or impossible to operate from the Duracell Powerpack Pro. They may have high surge requirements or should not be run from the Duracell Powerpack Pro. See “High Surge Appliances” and “Trouble Appliances” on page 11.

Run Time on Typical AC Appliances

Note: The fewer watts an AC appliance uses, the longer the Duracell Powerpack Pro will operate before recharging is required.

Typical AC appliances that can be used on the Duracell Powerpack Pro are listed in Table 3-1.

High Surge Appliances

The wattage rating of AC appliances is the average power used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions and appliances with motors consume much more power than their average rating when they are first switched on. Although the Duracell Powerpack Pro can supply momentary surge power up to 480 W, some appliances may exceed the capabilities of the Duracell Powerpack Pro and trigger the safety overload shutdown circuit.

Trouble Appliances

CAUTION: The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal. Some equipment may be damaged by the inverter’s modified sine wave output (non-sinusoidal).

Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be damaged if they are connected to the inverter:

Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.
Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances, and other loads may be damaged.
Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged. Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.

Note: If you are unsure about powering any device with the inverter, contact the manufacturer of the device.

Operating Several Appliances at Once

You can run several AC appliances if the total rating of all the appliances (in watts) does not exceed 240 W for Powerpack Pro 300, or 480 W for Powerpack Pro 600. Run time, however, will decrease accordingly with the number of appliances being operated and the AC power being consumed.

Operating an AC Appliance

Before operating your AC appliance, ensure that the battery of the Duracell Powerpack Pro is fully charged. See “Recharging with the AC Charger” on page 8 for details.

To operate an AC appliance:

Press the AC outlet ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.
Open the protective cover on the AC power outlets.
Plug the AC appliance into one of the AC outlets and turn the appliance on. Duracell Powerpack Pro will operate most devices rated up to 240 W for Powerpack Pro 300, or 480 W for Powerpack Pro 600.
Fully recharge the Duracell Powerpack Pro as soon as possible after each use.
In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or overheating, the Duracell Powerpack automatically shuts down.

Operating 12V DC Appliances

The Duracell Powerpack Pro can operate 12V DC appliances that draw 20 A or less from a 12V DC power outlet or from a vehicle’s lighter socket.

CAUTION: Equipment damage. The DC power outlet does not automatically switch off when the internal battery is discharged. Check the battery status periodically to prevent total battery discharge.

To operate a 12V DC appliance:

Open the protective cover on the DC power outlet of the Duracell Powerpack Pro.
Plug the 12V DC appliance into the DC power outlet on the front panel of the unit (see Page 4), and turn the 12V DC appliance on (if required). If the 12V DC appliance draws more than 20 A, the internal circuit breaker of the Duracell Powerpack Pro shuts off the power to the 12V DC appliance. If this occurs, unplug the 12V DC appliance. The internal circuit breaker automatically resets after a few seconds.
Fully recharge the Duracell®Powerpack Pro as soon as possible after each use. As the DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the Duracell Powerpack Pro’s battery, extended operation of a 12V DC appliance may result in excessive battery discharge. See “Caution for equipment damage“ on this page.

Note: Please refer to the “User Reference” section on Page 25 for examples of typical DC device run times using the Powerpack Pro.

Precautions When Working with Batteries

WARNING: Explosion, fire or burns. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and cause an explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or other similar objects to metal, causing a severe burn.
If you need to remove a battery, always remove the positive terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.
Someone should be within range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, and eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eyes, immediately flood them with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Keep a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the batteries. Baking soda neutralizes lead-acid battery electrolyte.
