Recharging the Duracell® Powerpack Battery
Recharging from a Solar Panel
Small, unregulated 12 V solar panels rated to produce a
maximum of2.5 A (or 30 W) can be used to charge the
Duracell® Powerpack through the
AC charger Input socket.
You will need to purchase a standard 5.5
mm OD x 2.5 mm
ID (0.217 x 0.10") coaxial DC (barrel type center positive)
connector to mate with the
AC charger input socket.
To
wire the coaxial DC connector:
1. Connect the solar panel's red positive (+) wire to the
coaxial
plug's inner or center contact.
2. Connect the solar panel's black negative
(-) wire to the
plug's outer contact. See Figure 4-1.

Once the connector is inserted into the AC charger input
socket and the solar panel is placed in the sun, the Duracell®
Powerpack charges automatically
just as with the AC
charger. See "Recharging with the AC Charger" on page 29.
It takes about six hours in direct sunlight to recharge the
Duracell® Powerpack from a 2.5 A solar panel.
