10. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. What type of battery is in my KODAK PPS600?
kodak ppS600 contains a 578wh lithium ion battery pack. lithium ion batteries are much smaller and
lighter than normal lead-acid batteries and also can be cycled many more times.
2. How do I know if my KODAK PPS600 is charged?
to check the charge level of your kodak ppS600, refer to the lcd display. the battery icon indicates the
battery status of total charge remaining. kodak ppS600 can be used until it is empty but we recommend
to recharge when the level is below 20%.
3. Can I charge the KODAK PPS600 while supplying power at the same time?
yes. the ac output supports simultaneous charging and discharging.
please note, however, that this only makes sense with a remaining battery capacity of more than 10%.
4. Can I take the KODAK PPS600 on a plane?
no, you can’t. kodak ppS600 contains a large number of lithium-ion batteries with a capacity considered
to be hazardous by airlines.
5. What does a pure-sine wave inverter mean?
you have probably heard the terms dc and ac power. dc stands for direct current, and is the only type of
power that can be stored in a battery. ac stands for alternating current, which is the type of power your
devices use when they’re plugged into the wall. an inverter turns a dc output into ac output and it can
do this with quite high efficiency. you can see this by turning on the ac port and looking at the output on
the lcd display.
a pure-sine wave inverter, like the one found in your kodak ppS600, produces an output signal that is
exactly the same as that supplied by an ac wall plug in your house. although integrating a pure-sine
wave inverter takes more components, it is then compatible with almost all ac electric devices you use
in your house. So in the end, the pure-sine wave inverter allows kodak ppS600 to safely power almost
everything under 300w device that you would normally plug into the wall.
6. How do I know if my device will work with the KODAK PPS600?
firstly, you’ll need to check the amount of power your device requires. this may require some research on
your end. an online search or examining the user guide for your device should suffice. to be compatible
with the kodak ppS600, you should use devices that require less than 300 w.
Secondly, you will need to check the capacity for the individual output ports. for example, the ac port is
monitored by an inverter that allows for 300w of continuous power. this means if your device is drawing
more than 300w for an extended period of time, kodak ppS600’s inverter will shut off.
NOTE
in case of overload, the unit switches off automatically and the output is interrupted.
plasma or led tVs with screens greater than 41“, desktop computers, and other devices with high
power consumption, as well as household devices with fluctuating power consumption or with power
factor correction may not operate normally or at all, even if the their specified operating power
is below 300w.
