Important Safety Instructions
The Duracell®Powerpack 600 generates a type of AC
power similar to a normal household wall outlet. Operating
the Duracell®Powerpack incorrectly or misusing it may
damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions for
the user.
Important: Before using your Duracell®Powerpack, be sure
to read and save these safety instructions.
Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Shock hazard.
Keep away from children.
The Duracell®Powerpack generates the same potentially
lethal AC power as a normal household wall outlet. Do not
insert foreign objects into the AC Outlet, the DC Power
Socket, the Jump-Start Cable Port, or the ventilation holes.
Do not expose this product to water, rain, snow, or spray.
WARNING: Explosion hazard
Do not use this product where there are flammable
gasoline-powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use
this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type
lead acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed AGM
battery in Duracell®Powerpack, vent explosive hydrogen
gas which can be ignited by sparks from electrical
connections. When working on electrical equipment,
always ensure someone is nearby to help you in an
emergency.
v
WARNING: Heated surface
Ensure at least 2” (5 cm) air space is maintained on all
sides of the Duracell®Powerpack. During operation,
keep away from materials that may be affected by high
temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Never allow jump-start cables’ red and black clamps to
touch each other or another common metal conductor. This
could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/
explosion hazard. Always disconnect the jump-start cables
from the unit after use and clip the plastic guard over the
jump-start cable port.
WARNING: Fire hazard
Jump-start cable clamps must be connected positive to
positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to negative
(black clamp to battery “–”). A reverse polarity connection
(positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or
create a sparking/explosion hazard.
WARNING: Fire hazard
The jump-start feature is designed for short term operation
only—less than 4 seconds. Operating the Jump-start
feature for more than 4 seconds may cause damage to
the unit. Allow the Duracell®Powerpack to cool down for at
least 3 minutes after each jump-start.
WARNING: Risk of explosion, fire or burns
The battery terminals exposed at the jump-start cable port
have enough energy present to cause a spark, creating
an explosion hazard, or to cause burns if a metal object
contacts both terminals. Always clip the plastic guard over
the port when not in use.
vi
CAUTION
Do not connect any AC appliance with the neutral
conductor connected to ground to the Duracell®
Powerpack.
CAUTION
Do not expose the Duracell®Powerpack to temperatures
over 40 °C (104 °F).
Precautions When Working
With Batteries
WARNING: Explosion and fire hazard
1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer
and the manufacturer of the equipment
in which the battery
is installed.
2. Make sure the area around the battery is well
ventilated.
3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or
batteries.
4. Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or
allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and
negative cable ends or battery terminals. It might spark or
short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and cause
an explosion.
5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or other similar objects to metal,
causing a severe burn.
6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the positive
terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are
off so you don’t cause an arc.
7. Someone should be within range of your voice, or close
enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead acid
battery.
vii
8. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery
acid contacts skin, clothing, and eyes.
9. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.
Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.
10. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately
with soap and water. If acid enters your eyes, immediately
flood them with running cold water for at least twenty
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Precautions for Using Rechargeable
Appliances
CAUTION
The output of the inverter is non-sinusoidal.
Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a
separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC
receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output.
Some chargers for rechargeable batteries can be damaged
if connected to the Duracell®Powerpack.
Do not use the following with the Duracell®Powerpack
with:
• Small battery-operated appliances like flash lights,
razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into
an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Some chargers for battery packs used in hand power
tools. These chargers display a warning label stating
that dangerous voltages are present at the battery
terminals.
Note: If you are unsure about using your rechargeable
appliance with the Duracell®Powerpack, contact the
equipment manufacturer to determine the rechargeable
appliance’s compatibility with the modified sine wave (non-
sinusoidal) AC waveform.
