The Power to Get the Job Done Safely

The heart of the Duracell Powerpack 300 is a sealed, non-spillable 12 ampere-hour AGM battery. The Powerpack can be safely and conveniently recharged from any household AC outlet or DC cigarette-lighter outlet, making it ready to go whenever you need it. This robust battery is tied to a power inverter that provides 300 watts of power to its two grounded AC outlets and one DC socket. Multiple outlets give you the flexibility and convenience to operate several appliances at once, while the battery level indicator dynamically monitors the Duracell Powerpack's charge level. Internal circuitry ensures long inverter life by protecting against overload and over-temperature conditions. An audible alarm also signals during overheating and under-voltage situations, alerting you to any possible safety concerns.

Powerpack 300 Protects You On the Go

Powerpack's 12-amp battery can jump start most 4-cylinder engines with its included jumper cables. A reverse polarity detector further ensures your safety by disallowing power transfer in the event that the jumper cables are connected to the incorrect battery terminals. Duracell Powerpack 300 also provides ample power to recharge cordless and cellular telephones. At the same time, small appliances, laptops, televisions and portable stereos will run for hours. Long battery life and an integrated, detachable ultra-bright LED flashlight mean you'll never be left in the dark.

Perfect for Outdoor Adventures

From remote job sites to the family picnic, Duracell Powerpack's portability makes it an excellent choice for any outdoor adventure. It is strong enough to run power tools and equipment in the wilderness. The 300-watt power inverter also lets you bring some of the comforts of home to your campsite or outing. Small appliances, portable coolers, laptops, televisions and gaming consoles will run for hours. Duracell Powerpack 300 means you'll never be left in the dark. If planning a longer trip without an access to a traditional power source, small, unregulated 12 V solar panels, rated to produce a maximum of 2.5 A (or 30 W), can be used to charge the Duracell Powerpack through the AC charger input socket. Please refer to users' manual for instructions.

Specifications are subject to change without notice

* CA = Cranking Amps: the amount of current an automotive battery can deliver for 30 seconds at 32° F, without dropping below a specified cut-off voltage (usually 10.5 volts).
**CCA = Cold Cranking Amps: the amount of current an automotive battery can deliver for 30 seconds at 0° F, without dropping below a specified cutoff voltage (usually 10.5 volts).

Note: When selecting a jump-starter the CCA performance rating should meet or slightly exceed, you vehicle manufacturer's recommendation OR it should be suitable for the coldest temperatures in your climate.

Note: When selecting a jump-starter, do not base you decision on the manufacturer's noted "Peak Amps." High peak amp value does not guarantee the performance of the jump-starter. Refer to CA and CCA values instead and align them with your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Great for Tent Camping
 
Review Date: June 2, 2008
Reviewer: DJ Colorado, Rocky Mountains
I bought this item for tent camping. It easily powers motors that are rated at 250W or less (such as air pumps, etc.) Will recharge all my camping equipment and D-cell batteries. Might be a bit light on current for jumpstarting larger engines -- I haven't needed to find out. Two A/C outlets are a plus.
The minor details
 
Review Date: May 19, 2009
Reviewer: E1234,
This is a great product with a superior AGM battery as opposed to the other brands which have lead acid batteries. Some minor details include only being able to attempt to start your engine for 4 seconds. You have to wait 3 minutes before each try so as not to overheat the product. Also, the manual states you cannot leave the unit always hooked up so your car keeps it charged. Don't really know why. The air pump has a PSI gauge on the back that goes all the way up to 250 PSI which is not very useful as most people will only need the first half inch of the gauge for filling up tires. And lastly, the manual states that you should not use the AC power outlets while the unit is charging from your car. If you have any ideas why the manual is so paranoid about these things please leave a comment.
Bestest product

Reviewer: Mukesh K. Panchal,
I had a problem in my car in the wiring so battery discharge everyday. Instead of fixing that i ordered this & guess what its a cheapest & best solution i got. This product is working very good. I jump start 5 to 6 time without charging still working good.
air compressor works great
 
Review Date: May 28, 2009
Reviewer: Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza, Waltham, MA, USA
The portable starter came charged and just needed to be topped off for an hour or so with the included AC charger (the charge status is indicated by a series of LED lights). The air compressor takes about 20 seconds to increase tire pressure by 1 psi, and is great for keeping your tires at the right pressure without going to a gas station and paying for air. (I haven't needed to use the starter or inverter functions yet.)
It saved me!
 
Review Date: December 8, 2009
Reviewer: Suze, Las Vegas, NV
I bought this almost a year ago, but never actually used it until a few days ago. I came out from work and my car battery was dead. It took me about 10 minutes to get it out, read the instructions and hook it up and my car immediately started. My car battery was bad so my car wouldnt start again the next morning and I couldnt use it again as it takes 48 hours to charge but at least it had gotten me home. It also comes with the air compresser to blow up tires (which I havent used yet) and several regular plugs and cigarette adapter so you could, for example, charge a cell phone if you were out camping. It also has a great little flashlight on it that is very bright. The only downside, besides the amount of time to charge it, would be that the switch is on the outside and not covered up. I was putting a bag into my trunk one day and accidentaly hit the switch and turned it on, not realizing. The next day, or could have been several days later, the alarm was going off on it telling me to charge it. Another feature which is great becaue the alarm is pretty loud and at least I knew then I needed to charge it. It would be nice if there was a plastic cover over the switch so you couldnt accidentaly turn it on. I still gave it 5 stars though because of all the features for the price and how well it worked when I needed it. I bought this for my car but made sure to get the 600 for my husbands Ford Expedition. Great gift for family!!
