Recharging the Duracell® Powerpack 
Battery
To check the Duracell® Powerpack’s charge level, press the 
Battery Level button.
You can recharge the battery using:
• the fully automatic “plug-in-and-forget” AC charger.
• the DC charging cable to recharge from your vehicle as 
you drive.
• a generator equipped with a regulated 12 V battery 
charging outlet.
• a solar panel.
Recharging with the AC Charger
Recharging with the AC charger is a true “plug-in-and-
forget” charging method. 
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.
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 15 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.
