1. Charging/recharging your Powerpack

IMPORTANT - BEFORE YOU START

Please fully charge your Powerpack before using it for the ﬁ rst time. It is

also recommended to fully recharge your Powerpack after each use.

1. Locate the AC charging cord stored in the compartment near the

Powerpack’s handle.

2. Plug the cord into the Powerpack’s AC charging input.

3. Plug the other end of the cord into an AC wall outlet.

4. Charging time is approximately 24 hours from a fully dischar

ged battery

to a full recharge.The Battery Status LED will turn green when fully

charged.

5. It is safe to leave the Powerpack plugged into an AC wall outlet so that it

is always fully charged and ready when you need it. The charging current

will automatically reduce to “maintenance” mode once the Powerpack

has been fully charged.

Powerpack Charging: Important Notes

• Do not operate DC appliances with the Powerpack Pro while the

Powerpack 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.

• 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 Powerpack operational.

• If the voltage in your wall outlet is less than 120V AC, it may take more

than 24 hours to fully recharge the powerpack. 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.

2. Checking the battery level

1. Push the Battery Level button on the

front panel.

2. The LED gauge will display the current

level of available battery power:

• Fully charged:

All LEDs (two

green, one yellow and one red) are

illuminated when the battery is full.

• Completely discharged: Only the

red LED is illuminated when the

battery is completely empty.

Battery Level: Important Notes

Battery fuel gauge status is only accurate when the Powerpack has

been disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for

15 minutes.

• Some appliances may be difﬁ cult or impossible to operate from the

Powerpack if they have a high surge rating or are not suitable for use

with the Powerpack.

Trouble Appliances

To avoid damage to your AC appliance, the Powerpack is not

recommended for use with the following:

• Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the

AC line.

• Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools, kitchen appliances,

and similar appliances.

• Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged.

• Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.

High Surge Appliances

“Surge” power is the initial amount of power required to start an

appliance.

• Appliances such as televisions and appliances with motors consume

much more power than their average (continuous use) rating when they

are ﬁ rst switched on. This may exceed the capabilities of the Powerpack

and trigger the safety overload shutdown circuit.

3. Using the LED light

1. Push the “Emergency Light” button to

turn on the LED light.

2. Gently swivel the lens up and down to

aim the light beam.

3. Push the “Emergency Light” button

again to turn off the light.

4. Using the USB ports

The Powerpack’s dual USB ports can charge two USB devices at once, sup-

plying up to 2.4 total Amps of current.

1. Connect your USB device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to your own USB

cable.

2. Plug the USB cable into the Powerpack’s USB port.

3. Push the “USB On/Off” button.

4. Charging will begin. The Powerpack will adjust the amount of

current

supplied to each device based on its requirements.

5. Push the “USB On/Off” button again when done.

5. Using the AC outlets

The Powerpack’s dual USB ports can power two AC appliances at once, up to

a total of 240W for Powerpack Pro 1000, or 480W for Powerpack Pro 1300.

For best results, ensure that your Powerpack is fully charged before using the

AC outlets.

1. Press the AC outlet ON/OFF Switch to the ON position.

2. Open the protective cover on the AC power outlet and plug the AC

appliance in.

3. Fully recharge the Powerpack as soon as possible after each use.

4. In the event of an overload, low battery voltage or overheating, the

Powerpack automatically shuts down.

AC Appliances: Important Notes

Understanding appliance wattage

• AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in watts)

they consume. The fewer watts an AC appliance uses, the longer the

Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.

6. Using the 12V DC power outlet

The Powerpack can operate 12V DC appliances (such as those that plug

into a vehicle’s lighter socket) that draw 20 Amps of power or less.

1. Open the protective cover on the DC power outlet and plug your

appliance into the port.

2. Turn the appliance on (if required). The Powerpack will automatically

supply power to your appliance.

3. Fully recharge the Powerpack as soon as possible after use.

12V DC Outlet: Important Notes

Battery power drain

• As the DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the Powerpack’s

battery, it does not automatically switch off. Check the battery status

periodically to prevent total battery discharge.

• Extended operation of a 12V DC appliance may result in excessive

battery discharge.

High-consumption DC appliances

• If your 12V DC appliance draws more than 20 Amps, the Powerpack’s

internal circuit breaker shuts off the power to your appliance. You

will not be able to use this appliance with the Powerpack. If shutoff

occurs, unplug your appliance. The Powerpack’s internal circuit breaker

automatically resets after a few seconds.

Usage Features:

Charging/Recharging: The Powerpack Pro should be fully charged before first use and after each use. It can be left plugged into an AC wall outlet for continuous "maintenance" charging. A Battery Status LED indicates charging status (green for fully charged). Charging from a fully discharged state takes approximately 24 hours.
Battery Level Check: A dedicated button on the front panel activates an LED gauge to display the current battery level. All LEDs (two green, one yellow, one red) indicate a full charge, while only the red LED indicates a completely discharged state. For accurate readings, the device should be disconnected from all appliances and charging sources for 15 minutes.
LED Light Operation: The "Emergency Light" button turns the LED light on and off. The lens can be swiveled to aim the light beam.
USB Port Usage: Dual USB ports can charge two USB devices simultaneously, supplying up to 2.4 total Amps. Users connect their USB device, plug the cable into the Powerpack's USB port, and press the "USB On/Off" button to begin charging.
AC Outlet Usage: Two AC outlets can power appliances up to the specified wattage (240W for Pro 1000, 480W for Pro 1300). Users press the AC outlet ON/OFF switch, open the protective cover, and plug in the appliance. The Powerpack will automatically shut down in case of overload, low battery voltage, or overheating.
12V DC Power Outlet Usage: The 12V DC power outlet can operate appliances drawing 20 Amps or less. Users open the protective cover, plug in the appliance, and turn it on. The Powerpack automatically supplies power. It's important to periodically check battery status as this outlet does not automatically switch off.
Jump Starting: Critical safety instructions must be followed. Users connect the red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle battery and the black negative (-) clamp to a non-moving metal part of the vehicle chassis or engine block. If the "Clamps Reversed" LED illuminates, polarity must be corrected. After connection, the jump-start power switch is turned ON, and the vehicle engine is cranked.
Air Compressor Usage: The air compressor hose is removed from the rear of the Powerpack, and the valve connector is securely placed on the tire valve stem. The Air Compressor switch is pressed to inflate. For small inflatables, a nozzle adapter can be used. The compressor is designed for short-term operation and requires cooling periods (10 minutes after every 10 minutes of continuous use) to prevent overheating. It should not be used for large capacity inflatables.
Connecting to an External Battery: The Powerpack Pro can be connected to a larger external battery to extend operating times. This involves connecting the jump-start cables to the external battery terminals (red to positive, black to negative) and ensuring the jump-start power switch is OFF before connecting and ON after.
