To operate a 12 V DC appliance:
1. Open the protective cover on the DC power outlet of
the Duracell
2. Plug the 12 V DC appliance into the DC power outlet on
the left side of the unit, and turn the 12 V DC appliance
on (if required). If the 12 V DC appliance draws more
than 12 A (or has a short-circuit defect), the internal
circuit breaker of the Duracell
power to the 12 V DC appliance. If this occurs, unplug
the 12 V DC appliance. The internal circuit breaker
automatically resets after a few seconds.
3. Fully recharge the Duracell
possible after each use.
As the DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the
Duracell
V DC appliance may result in excessive battery discharge.
