Duracell DPP-600HD Perfect low cost powerpack for CPAP

Received in record time and performs great! Does as promised. Bought for CPAP machine but used it the 3rd day for jump starting a tractor. Battery connections are in need of redesign...too difficult to attach to machine.

Duracell DPP-600HD emergency power is great

i bought this for one reason, and i am pretty sure it's going to work for me. i do art/craft fairs, many of which run into the evening hours. rather than pay $75 a pop to 'rent' power from the city, i bought this.

i haven't used it 'in the field' yet, but tested it. i charged it for 2 days, then plugged in one light (a 60w florescent equivalent), which worked for 8 hours before I just unplugged it. i charged it overnight, way less than the recommended recharge time, then plugged in two lights (same wattage). they ran for 8 hours before cutting out. so i'm happy. hopefully it'll work the same in the field!

Duracell DPP-600HD Full Review - Well Worth the Small Extra $ Over the Black & Decker

I have not had the unit very long, so I can not attest to any long term durability. But short term, this is a pretty solid, quality built unit. Has very nice features, in a pretty small package considering what you are getting, and the 600 watt AC inverter. A little on the heavy side, but expected for the amount of "Battery" that it is. The digital display and radio work nice. AC plug ins are solid and sturdy. Nice to have the 3 AC outlets. Provides very smooth electrical output. Long lasting power also, performed as advertised on their watts/run time chart under the Product Description. Same with DC outlet (ran a 13 watt light off of that). Pretty bright built in light. Many people would prefer LED's, but I like the more "natural" light. Also, 2 really nice features to have (that the Black & Decker doesn't I might add). The first, to be able to keep the unit plugged in all the time and fully charged and ready when you need it. The second, you can extend battery operating times by connecting the included jumper cables to a larger external battery. I have not used the jumper cables for this yet, or to jump start a vehicle.
I appreciated how well the Duracell was built after comparing it to the Black & Decker Electromate 400 (PS400JRB). I returned two of these units to Amazon and decided that was enough. The Black & Decker was very cheaply made. The first unit I received, would not take a charge; right out of the box. After Returning it, the second unit I received the radio didn't not work and the volume knob just spun freely with no adjustment to the sound. After returning the second one, I went with the Duracell. Spend a little ($30) more for the Duracell, you will get 200 Watts more power, more features, and 100% better quality and craftsmanship.

Duracell DPP-600HD To Power my C-PAP machine on camping trips

I bought this machine to power my CPAP. During 6 days camping trip, I was hawling this heavy machine every morning and evening to charge since I was not sure how long it will last. The Duracell DPP-600 did fine powering my CPAP machine. On another 2 nights camping trip, I used the machine for 2 nights and the battery lasted the whole time. The "3-digit barragraph LED indicator dynamically monitors the Duracell Powerpack's battery charge level" is NOT accurate at all. I am very happy with this unit for my intended purpose. One comparison I did with the Black & Decker PS400JRB Electromate 400 Plus Jump-Starter with Built-In Radio is that the B&D has a rather loud cooling fan when you turn on the AC converter whereas the Duracell does not have this cooling fan.

Duracell DPP-600HD great !

got it at 99.00 and free ship. the unit does what it says it will. great to take to campsite or for a short power outage to run a pc, tv, lamp and fan for 3+hours. it takes a long time to charge from the ac adaptor unit at only 1 amp output( 35 hours if dead) but car cord is much faster. nice unit that worked well and at a fair price.

Duracell DPP-600HD JUST AWESOME

Buying this makes up for buying the 400 watt xandrex solar which was dissapointing. YOU can add a 30 watt solar panel to charge AND an extra external battery via battery cables to multiply the power output time considerably!! BUY this if want a stand alone work shop power supply for small to medium appliances or RV for a "green" power setup. Jumpstart a car is bonus too. Glad to see Green technology finally here. My mechanic suggested getting a $1700 honda generator which is way too much for a camping or emergency power supply. I'm going to invest in the bigger xandrex 1500 watt power supply since very happy with this product.


This is xandrex, well worth the money, will replace a small 1000 watt generator I was planning on getting used since pricey.

Duracell DPP-600HD Very handy to have

I bought this for my business to run my cash register when I do trade shows. So far it has worked like a gem. I used it for a weekend to run my register and didn't have to charge it at all. It also doubled as an anchor for my dog's leash so the weight of it came in handy!
Last weekend we lost power for about 6 hours and it powered a light and a fan for us, I was very thankful that I had purchased this.
I think if you remember that this is a power pack and not a actual generator than you will be very pleased with what it can do.

Duracell DPP-600HD The product you secretly can't wait to use?

When Hurricane Ike took us out in Texas we were without power for about a week. Many others were without for so much longer. I was pretty stocked up on batteries and even a shake light or 2 and a Grundig crank radio. A lot of people in my neighborhood had gas generators and I was tempted to get one also but doing the math - people were spending $50 a day to basically keep their refrigerator running. It didn't make sense to me to spend $50 a day to keep about $100 in food cold for a week. Thats a few hundred dollars a week and you can't really use a generator to run your air conditioner either.

So when I saw this battery pack I thought it was worth a shot. I really haven't had a chance to use it during an emergency but after fully charging it up I checked it out. I was able to run my laptop all night and it still had power left. I was also able to run a few small fans with no problem. The trick here is small - don't try to plug your room cooling Vornado into this, we're talking small appliances.

I think the usage here is like this. If the power goes out, you have a portable big honkin' battery pack you can take from room to room and power stuff. Need to make some coffee, take it into the kitchen and plug in the coffee pot. Need to access your laptop or charge your cell phone or such, its perfect for that.

I think it'll be great for camping also. It comes jumper cables and claims to be able to jump your car - can't attest to that but nice to know I have the option. It also comes with an adapter to charge from the wall and also to charge FROM your car. Thats a pretty neat idea. During Ike, I was charging phones & such in the car as we went to the store and one errands. Not sure how long it would take to charge but take this with you and let it charge up while you are out and about.

All in all I secretly can't wait for an excuse to use this product. Its solidly built, has a light and a radio built it. The light should be LED really, but its the old fashioned bulb kind.

Duracell DPP-600HD Versatile Power Source

I spent a long time searching for a portable power supply and this was the most versatile one that I could find. It has excellent jump-start power and also provides both AC and DC outlets. Other nice features are the radio and light, although it would have been better if the light were LED. The available power closely matches the times listed in the specs. In camp, it worked great for recharging cell phones, Gameboys, camera batteries. At home, it works great for powering a cable modem during a power outage to keep the house phone working.

Duracell DPP-600HD Great Idea

Great Product- Built well and very handy.
I use it for camping and have it handy for power outage, it keps the phones and TV's running
It is like a little generator, except lighter and quiet, I recommend this product- lots of uses!

Duracell DPP-600HD this thing DELIVERS

I had originally purchased Sears' version -- which was quickly returned. It had an air compressor that would overheat the unit, and to run DC source, the inverter needed to be turned on and was so loud i could not hear my radio.

I've used this Duracell600 a few times now and it is awesome. Ran my Bose Wave radio on the beach all day, 4 days in a row (would recharge at night) - and the day I left the beachhouse, my truck's battery was completely dead. Pulled this thing out and jumped it on the first try. This thing really is sweet.

Duracell DPP-600HD super power supply

I got stuck last week with my car's alternator and battery being dead. This unit started my car 4 times that night and I actually used the supply to power the car so I could drive it an extra block to avoid paying a tow charge. It powers my hungry laptop for up to 4 hours between charges. I can't reccomend this power supply more....all aces
