PORTAWATTZ PowerPAC Owner’s Manual
3.4 Operating 12 Volt DC Accessories
1. Ensure the PowerPAC battery is fully charged. See Section
8.0 for details.
2. Plug the accessory into the PowerPAC’s DC Power Socket,
and switch the accessory on (if required). The PowerPAC
will operate any 12 volt DC auto or marine accessory that
draws 12 amps or less.
3. Because the DC Power Socket is internally wired direct to
the PowerPAC’s battery, extended operation of a 12 volt
accessory may result in excessive battery discharge.
Important: Care must be taken to ensure the battery does
not become totally discharged. See Section 6.1 for details.
3.5 Recharging the PowerPAC
1. The battery’s charge condition may be seen by pressing the
Battery Status Button on the PowerPAC’s display panel.
2. To recharge, plug the AC Charger into a household AC outlet,
and plug the AC Charger cord into the Charger Input Socket
on the PowerPAC’s panel. The Recharge Indicator will change
from amber to green when charging is complete (typically
after 30 hours). It is safe to leave the AC Charger connected
indefinitely.
3. Charging may also be done from an automobile cigarette
lighter. See Section 8.3 for details.
3.6 Using the PowerPAC to Jump-Start Your
Vehicle
