 great for home and boat September 8, 2008
David R. Becvar (Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela)
I bought this unit about 2 months ago and brought it with me to South America. I've been living here for 6 years and there are often times power outages so I wanted something with enough power to power up a TV and my modem at home so that I could have some sort of entertainment with these outages. So far, it has worked like a charm. I have a 32" Sharp TV that works for at least an hour (the power went back on) and I also connected my laptop and modem. Again, worked great. Very easy to use and as long as you keep it plugged in at all times it'll be ready when you need it. Now, I also have a boat where I lived and just a few days ago one of my batteries went dead so I hooked up the Duracell 600 to it and the motor started right up. I kept it connected for a few hours and it charged the bad battery. From now on, I'll bringing it aboard with me just in case. At this price, this product is EXCELLENT! When I leave Venezuela next year, I'll sell it for sure, but I'll be buying another when I get back to the U.S. I did A LOT of research on these power packs and truly, you can't go wrong with this one if you want temporary portable power. I weighed it (before I checked my luggage) and in the box it's about 32 pounds. I know there are differing weights going around on this product but for sure it's about that weight. Buy this product!

It seems like the best of all possible choice at the time and I can't wit to put it to use, but am not inviting an emergency.
A good deal August 30, 2008

I bought two of these to use as a power backup when my AC goes out. I am a CPAP user and it is important for me that my CPAP unit runs all night. using the 12 VDC directly I can get 2 nights of CPAP per charge... this will get me thru most power episodes.
These are great units for the size and they will also crank your car or truck easily when your battery craps out. they come with a very robust and well-thought-out set of proprietary jumper cables which make it nearly impossible to reverse polarity or short them out.
I got these units for 99 bucks each and they are super. great for taking along camping or traveling as well. there is a lot of battery on board. The Duracell brand and the Xantrax brand are one and the same.
Previously I have used a 450 AH version for about 5 years now and it has never failed me yet.
Great for camping. August 28, 2008

This product is great at its primary purpose, being a portable battery. Although the radio's sound quality is not the greatest, it still works great to listen to storm warnings and such. I would reccomend this to anyone that is considering buying this product.

I bought this a few weeks ago for power backup here in Florda during hurricane season. Haven't used it for that yet, but a friend used it to jump start his car a few times until he got a new battery. No problem with that. I also used it to power my hedge trimmer. Much easier than plugging and unplugging extension cords while going around my yard. It's not a generator, but I think it's a good alternative for what it is.
