Recharging with a Generators Regulated
12 V DC Outlet
WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard
The generator output must be intended for battery charging
and have an output of 15 V or less. An unregulated output
or one that exceeds 15 V DC can damage the battery. This
may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure
to re and explosion hazard.
Refer to the Owner’s Guide accompanying your generator
for detailed instructions on connecting the generator to a
unit like the Duracell
®
Powerpack.
You can recharge the battery of the Duracell
Powerpack using a generator in several ways:
Using the AC charger to recharge the Duracell
®
Powerpack from a generator is possible, but would
require extended generator running time.
Using a generator which has an auxiliary regulated
12 V DC output designed for charging 12 V batteries.
Most generators are equipped with them. Use this
power source for faster charging.
Using a generator with a regulated 12 V DC lighter
socket. Follow the connection instructions in
“Recharging with the DC Charging Cable” on page 23.
Most of the capacity will be recharged in a few hours.
Note: Battery Fuel Gauge indicator is only accurate when
the Duracell
®
Powerpack has been disconnected from all
appliances and all charging sources for 15 minutes
