Connecting to an External Battery
You can extend battery operating times by connecting the
Duracell
®
Powerpack to a larger external battery using the
jump-start cables. For example, an external 60 Ah battery
gives approximately two times the operating time of the
Duracell
®
Powerpack internal 26 Ah battery.
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: Acid spills
Use a sealed, non-spillable battery for indoor use.
Common auto and marine batteries are not suitable
for indoor use unless their fumes are vented outdoors.
Common auto and marine batteries contain acid, which is
hazardous if spilled. Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when connecting the Duracell
®
Powerpack to an
external battery.
To connect the Duracell Powerpack to an external battery
using the jump-start cables:
1. Connect the cables to the jump-start cable port on the
left side of the Duracell
®
Powerpack.
2. Connect the red positive (+) clip of the cables to the red
positive (+) terminal of the external battery.
