Precautions for Using
Rechargeable Appliances
CAUTION
The output of the Duracell
®
Powerpack 300 inverter is
a non-sinusoidal modifi ed sine wave, which is different
from pure sine wave utility-supplied electricity. Certain
types of load equipment may be damaged.
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 300.
Do not use the following with the Duracell
®
Powerpack 300:
• Small battery-operated appliances like fl ashlights,
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 affected 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.
