The AM/FM radio
on
the back
panel
is powered
by
the
internal battery in the Duracell® Powerpack.
When
turned on, the radio draws 30 rnA, allowing you to use
the radio for more than one month when the Duracell®
Powerpack is fully charged.
Listening
to
the
AM
Band
Due
to signal interference, you cannot listen to the
AM
band
while using the Duracell® Powerpack to operate
an
AC
appliance.
Connecting
to
an
External
Battery
You can extend battery operating times by connecting the
Duracell® Powerpack to a larger external battery using the
jump-start cables.
For
example,
an
external 60
Ah
battery gives approximately
two times the operating time
of
the Duracell® Powerpack
internal 28
Ah
battery.
