Works Great - better than expected.

Customer Rating:
Just used this for the first time on the 4th of July and it lasted all day. 10am to 11pm. We went to the beach and of course wanted music. This powered the ipod and speakers for 13 hours. We were thrilled; thought it would give out long before we were ready to leave. It also charged 2-4 phones during the day, maybe more I lost track. I'm a 5'4 female and I can easily carry this. It charges fully in about 4 hours. I highly recommend this.

Great idea, but it failed on me and is fairly limited

I purchased this powerpack in spite of the bad reviews. I thought (I hoped) I'd be one of the lucky ones and the product would work for me. I used it twice before it would no longer charge. From AC, it fully charged after about 20 hours. The first thing I noticed was that the three AC outlets are too close and/or are oriented in such a way that no more than one item can be charged at a time. This is because many plugs are not simple, small and 2 or 3 pronged - they are instead adaptor-like and larger. There is no point to offer 3 AC outlets if you can only use one at a time. The second thing I noticed is that the 26W Brunton Flexible Solar Panel that is recommended with it is just sized way too small. It will take nearly 24 hours of full sun to fully charge this battery using a 26 watt solar panel. It can recharge a cell phone, it can light up a 13 watt CFL lamp, power up a 7" tv, run a foodsaver, a small fan, and well, that's about it. It can't run any coffeemaker that I have, it can't run any medium sized appliances. It's limited to say the least. The good news is that Amazon will quickly replace it. Why buy another one? Well, the size and portability is nice. I like that it has a DC outlet. The light and radio are just alright. Why not use LED? Radio knobs (small screws) are so small as to be ridiculous. I hope the second one is a winner and won't fail on me.

Better Safe than Sorry

Customer Rating:
This Jump Starter & Emergency Power Source works amazingly well for me in the few weeks I've had it. It charges my laptop great and many other things I have as well. Also, I not only would recommend this product just for occasional use, but in preparation. I live in an area that is known for its earthquakes and I don't want to take the chance of having my car stuck somewhere miles away from civilization. Better safe than sorry and I know I can count on this when I really would need it.

Duracell 600 Powerpack

Customer Rating:
I bought the Duracell battery pack to use solely to run a 19" TV and a antenna/receiver. I need it to operate these up to two hours. So far, the unit as worked great for this purpose. The unit has a window to show the percentage it is charged, and two hours of usage used less than half of the charge. It is also OK to keep it plugged in to 110 volt AC to charge it all of the time when not in use. I gave it four out of five stars because it is too soon to know if it will hold up.Duracell DPP-600HD Powerpack 600 Jump Starter & Emergency Power Source with Radio

Doesn't work

Customer Rating:
I charged it fully but the LCD reading for the reader only shows a few dashes leaving it unreadable. The LCD for the function stays on 0 the whole time no matter what I do. I've tried plugging in various items to the AC outlets and they don't work or barely feed any juice to them rendering it useless. What a waste of money.
