A Duracell Battery Pack Can Give You Peace of Mind

It has happened to each of us at some point in our lives. When we need it most, our electricity goes out. When we are rushing to get somewhere, our car doesn't start because the battery is deader than a doornail. One or two hours without power or with a car that won't start can really disrupt our daily lives, especially if we end up being late for an appointment, work or school. However, interruptions like this don't have to happen anymore if you have one essential item in your home or car - the Duracell Power Pack.

Duracell is a name we all know and have grown to trust when it comes to powering our portable electronics, so, as far as I was concerned, deciding to choose Duracell when I was looking for a Power Pack was a no brainer. (My grandpa always used to say that. "Girl, that's a no brainer." I got colorful sayings and a love of the Chesapeake Bay from him.)

I got my Power Pack because we were having frequent, short power outages and the kids were so scared of the dark that I was tempted to fire up the generator. I knew it would only be a few hours, though, and the generator is hard to set up and so noisy. So, the Power Pack seemed like the perfect solution. And it was. I just wish I would have gotten it sooner!

I chose the Duracell Power Pack 600 because I wanted something that could keep us going for a few hours with all the essentials. (We consider the essentials to be a light, a portable DVD player and the laptop. This unit will not power your fridge!)

This model comes equipped with an 250 PSI air compressor to inflate flat tires, 200 amps to jump start your vehicle, and an detachable LED flashlight. The battery is completely charged from an AC outlet in 24 hours, and 2.5 from an DC outlet.

Another nice feature with this model is the on demand information which will inform consumers with information regarding the battery when it is fully charged and ready to go. The Duracell Power Pack 450 is also equipped with an audio device which alerts the consumer what time frame they can expect from their devices once they are plugged into the power pack.

Each one of these power pack models has the ability to power up and charge AC, DC, and USB devices, and is equipped with an low battery alarm. The model that will work best for you will depend on what your needs and wants are, but any one of these models can help you keep on moving when your life is interrupted by a power outage or dead car battery. I recommend keeping one in your home, your car and your office or workplace.

    You know I keep thinking about buying one of these. I really need to just do it. Seems like we usually have at least one major power outage every winter, just to stress me out. BTW, love seeing my b5 friends at Squidoo:-)
