Introduction and Overview 

 

The PPT Powerpack 400 is designed to provide AC and DC power as either temporary back up during 

 

 power outage or for use in off grid applications such as in vehicles or in remote homes, motor homes, 

Glamping pods, caravans or where mains electricity is limited or expensive such as exhibition stands. 

 

The PPT 400 will operate most small TV’s, DVD players, laptops and even small power drills, in fact any 
load  up  to  400W.  Its  unique  design  allows  solar  charging  from  external  panel,  expansion  of  battery 

capacity via connection of external lead acid battery and connections of LED light strips via a supplied 

adapter.

Battery  Fuse”.  This  can  be  found  by  sliding  down  the  side  panel.  Then  clip  on  fuse  covers
