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 fl ash 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 modifi ed sine wave (non-
sinusoidal) AC waveform.
