Duracell Pocket Inverter 175W Owner's Guide

Product Overview

The Duracell Pocket Inverter 175W is a high-performance power inverter designed to convert 12V DC power from a vehicle outlet or battery into 120V AC power. It features an AC outlet and a USB port, making it ideal for powering or charging various consumer electronics.

Safety Information

Warning: The inverter generates lethal AC power similar to a household wall outlet. Keep away from children. Do not use in the presence of flammable fumes, gases, or in enclosures with unsealed lead-acid batteries. The unit may become warm during operation; ensure adequate ventilation and keep away from heat-sensitive materials.

Installation and Operation

The inverter can be connected using the provided cigarette lighter plug (for loads up to 130W) or 12V battery cable clips (for loads up to 175W). Always ensure correct polarity when connecting to a battery to avoid damage. The unit includes automatic safety features such as overload, overheat, and low battery voltage protection.

• Connection: Plug the DC cable into the inverter port, then connect to the power source.
• Operation: Press the ON/OFF switch. A blue light indicates the unit is ready.
• Shutdown: The unit will automatically shut down if the input voltage drops to 10.5V, if the load exceeds 175W, or if it overheats.

Troubleshooting

If the inverter fails to operate, check for loose connections or a defective battery. If the red fault light is on, it indicates an overload, overheating, or low battery voltage. Ensure the connected device does not exceed the 175W continuous power rating and that the battery is sufficiently charged.

Maintenance and Recycling

The unit requires no user maintenance. If the product reaches the end of its life, it should be recycled responsibly. Xantrex participates in national battery recycling programs. Small batteries can be dropped off at designated retail locations, while larger lead-acid batteries should be taken to appropriate disposal facilities.
