Operating 12 V Dc Appliances - Duracell POWERPACK 600 Owner's Manual

Operating 12 V DC Appliances
Operating 12 V DC Appliances
The Duracell® Powerpack can operate 12 V DC auto, RV,
marine, or other portable appliances that draw 12 A or less
from a 12 V DC power outlet or from a vehicle's lighter
socket.
If' . .
CAUTION: Equipment damage
~
The DC power socket does not automatically switch off when the
internal battery is discharged. To protect the internal battery against
damage resulting from total discharge, we recommend that the AC
outlet
ON/OFF
switch is turned
ON
when using the Duracell®
Powerpack to operate a 12 V DC appliance.
Having the AC outlet
ON/OFF
switch turned
ON
enables the alarm to
warn you when the 12 V DC appliance has nearly depleted the
internal battery.
Note: The fewer watts a 12 V DC appliance draws, the longer
the Duracell® Powerpack will operate before recharging is
required.
Typical 12 V DC appliances that can be used on the
Duracell® Powerpack are listed in Table 3-2.
