'" WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard
~
The generator output must be intended for battery charging and
have an output of 15 V or less. An unregulated output or one that
exceeds 15 V DC can damage the battery.
This may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to
fIre and explosion hazard.
Refer to the Owner's Guide accompanying your generator for
detailed instructions on connecting the generator to a unit like
the Duracell® Powerpack.
You can recharge the battery of the Duracell® Powerpack
using a generator in several ways:
• Using the AC charger to recharge the Duracell®
Powerpack from a generator is possible, but would
require extended generator running time..
• Using a generator which has an auxiliary regulated
12 V DC output designed for charging 12 V batteries.
Most generators are equipped with them. Use this power
source for faster charging.
• Using a generator with a regulated 12 V DC lighter
socket. Follow the connection instructions in
"Recharging with the DC Charging Cable" on page 28.
Most of the capacity will be recharged in a few hours.
Note: Battery Charge
(%)
indicator is only accurate when the
Duracell® Powerpack has been disconnected from all appliances
and all charging sources for 15 minutes.
