Using Duracell® Powerpack for the First 
Time
Recharging with the AC Charger
Recharging with the AC charger is a true “plug-in-and-
forget” charging method. We recommend leaving the AC 
charger connected when the Duracell® Powerpack is not in 
use.
To recharge with the AC charger:
1. Disconnect any 12 V DC appliances from the DC power 
outlets.
2. Disconnect any AC products from the Duracell® 
Powerpack and turn the AC Power 
ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3. Insert the AC charger cable end into the AC charger input 
socket located under the red jump-starting clamp (see 
figure on page 6).
4. Plug the AC charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
Important: Prior to operating your AC appliance or 12 V DC 
appliance, ensure that the battery of the Duracell® Powerpack is 
fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged, recharging 
with the AC charger may take up to 24 hours.
Note
: The Duracell® Powerpack battery level LEDs are only 
accurate when the Duracell® Powerpack has been disconnected 
from all appliances and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.
CAUTION
Do not operate AC or DC appliances with the Duracell® 
Powerpack while the Duracell® Powerpack is being recharged 
with the AC charger.
The AC charger may be permanently damaged if AC appliances or 
12 V DC appliances are operated while the AC charger is 
connected.
