Operating AC Appliances
Understanding AC Appliances
AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in
watts) they consume. Your Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro can
power most appliances within its continuous power rating
(Powerpack Pro 300: 240 W, 2 A / Powerpack Pro 600:
480 W, 2A).
Some appliances may be diffi cult or impossible to operate
from the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro. They may have high
surge requirements or should not be run from the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro. See “High Surge Appliances” and “Trouble
Appliances” on page 11.
Run Time on Typical AC Appliances
Note:
The fewer watts an AC appliance uses, the
longer the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro will operate before
recharging is required.
Typical AC appliances that can be used on the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro are listed in Table 3-1.
High Surge Appliances
The wattage rating of AC appliances is the average power
used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions and
appliances with motors consume much more power than
their average rating when they are fi rst switched on.
Although the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro can supply
momentary surge power up to 480 W, some appliances may
exceed the capabilities of the Duracell
®
Powerpack Pro and
trigger the safety overload shutdown circuit.
Note:
Please refer to the “User Reference” section on
Page 25 for examples of typical AC device charging
using the Powerpack Pro.
