Operating AC Appliances
Understanding AC Appliances
AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in
watts) they consume. Duracell® Powerpack can power most
appliances within its continuous power rating (240 W, 2 A).
Some appliances may be difficult or impossible to operate
from the Duracell® Powerpack. They may have high surge
requirements or should not be run from the Duracell®
Powerpack. See “High Surge Appliances” on page 16 and
“Trouble Appliances” on page 16.
Run Time on Typical AC Appliances
Typical AC appliances that can be used on the Duracell®
Powerpack are listed in Table 3-1.
Note: The fewer watts an AC appliance uses, the longer the
Duracell® Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.
