Duracell DPP-300EP Compact enough.

Compact and well designed, worked as expected. There is some buzzing noise when the inverter is in use, but not noticable in daytime. The gauge on the compressor has a too-wide(for ordinary family cars) range from 0 to 250 psi. The LED flash light is not wired one and has small batteries inside, so not so bright as expected. The Power on switch has a lamp inside and the 4-level battery level indicator with LEDs, good for camping. Certainly not for heavy motorized tools. > Twenty holes with a hammer drill consumed a half of the battery.

Duracell DPP-300EP Review

I bought this item a few weeks ago after reading lot of its reviews. So far I have not had a chance to use any of its features. However I think I will when winter comes to jumpstart my SUV. It is compact and light. It can be stored easily in your car or truck. I charged it once at arrival (+/- 4 weeks ago) and the charge still holds until today. The compressor is very loud. I give it a 4 stars now since I do not know how reliable it is when I need it.

Duracell DPP-300EP It saved me!

I bought this almost a year ago, but never actually used it until a few days ago. I came out from work and my car battery was dead. It took me about 10 minutes to get it out, read the instructions and hook it up and my car immediately started. My car battery was bad so my car wouldnt start again the next morning and I couldnt use it again as it takes 48 hours to charge but at least it had gotten me home. It also comes with the air compresser to blow up tires (which I havent used yet) and several regular plugs and cigarette adapter so you could, for example, charge a cell phone if you were out camping. It also has a great little flashlight on it that is very bright. The only downside, besides the amount of time to charge it, would be that the switch is on the outside and not covered up. I was putting a bag into my trunk one day and accidentaly hit the switch and turned it on, not realizing. The next day, or could have been several days later, the alarm was going off on it telling me to charge it. Another feature which is great becaue the alarm is pretty loud and at least I knew then I needed to charge it. It would be nice if there was a plastic cover over the switch so you couldnt accidentaly turn it on. I still gave it 5 stars though because of all the features for the price and how well it worked when I needed it. I bought this for my car but made sure to get the 600 for my husbands Ford Expedition. Great gift for family!!

Duracell DPP-300EP Powerpack Review

About a week after buying the product someone hit a pole on the main street at about 4:10 pm. Power was out - really out.

As it came to dusk I remembered that I'd bought thing and got it out. It provided over six hours of 120 v electricity to light a light that you could read by. Based on the power remaining lights I expect we could have 2 - 3 more hours of 120 v power.

Much better than candles.

Duracell DPP-300EP Powerpack great so far

I've only used the compressor, I bought this item to keep my road bike tires at the right pressure (100-125 psi)since they seem to loose some pressure weekly. I have a big compressor and a 12 v one for the car but wanted something handy and this one works great. Cheers, MC

Duracell DPP-300EP Powerpack DOES THE JOB

I picked this up on the Deal of the Day for under 50 bucks, so far so good. Has the light, to 120's, jumper cables, compressor cord and cigarette lighter port. Very versatile in my opinion, has all the lights to tell you how much battery power is left. The true test will come when the weather breaks and bike tires have to be blown up and sports balls also. Am looking forward to use while camping. I will check back in then.

Duracell DPP-300EP Powerpack Great For Piece of Mind

I bought this unit a year ago and it sat in my trunk.
A week ago, when the cold hit, I was at work, and four of our work vans had dead batteries. Our mechanic wasn't in, so I figured I'd try my "toy" out.

The charger is so easy a five year-old could do it. Hook up the leads, flip the ON switch located on the side with the RED lead, and turn the key. It got all four trucks up and running. Just make sure you give it ten minutes between jumps if you have to crank the engine for 30 seconds (Don't crank it for any more than that, as they say it may cause the unit to overheat).

The singular thing that amazed me was that each van started right up with no cranking. You don't even get that when you jump from another vehicle.

The only problem I found--and it's not that bad--is that the leads for the jumper cables are very short, so you have to sit the unit on the fan housing, or the battery itself.
But that's a small price to pay, in my opinion, for what it does.

It has lighter adapters in it, and home adapters (three prong) so you can plug in cell phone chargers, etc. Hell, it even says it will power a small television for a half hour.

If you have someone you love on the road, be it your spouse, or your kids, if you want to sleep a little better, get them one. Show them how to use it, and put it in their trunk. That way you'll know they'll never be stuck on the side of a dark road, or in an empty parking lot with a dead battery, (A can of Fix-A-Flat and the unit's air compressor will take care of a flat tire) and if it's something more--something major--at least they'll be able to keep their cell phone charged so they can call out for help or stay in contact.
It's like having a Service Station in your trunk.
It also comes with a button you can press that will show you with bars (red, yellow, green) how much of a charge it has. i would suggest checking it once a month, if you haven't used it.
Best money I've ever spent.

Duracell DPP-300EP Powerpack very smart buy

very nice...the rechargeable flashlight really comes in handy...the air pump is great for blowing up basketballs,footballs,etc. slow for tires but it gets the job done...after i charged the unit i plugged in a lamp and a box fan and they both worked perfectly...this unit would jump start a 4 cylinder car with no problem (thats what i have)...im not sure about a 8 cylinder car...great for camping or power outage...

Duracell DPP-300EP Powerpack Does what it says on the tin

I bought this unit after draining my car's battery for the second time - I didn't want to have to keep calling AAA. It had no problem starting my 2000 Dodge Intrepid, even from a _completely_ dead battery. The flashlight and air compressor are a nice added bonus - I haven't had a chance to use the compressor yet, but the flashlight seems to be decent, although nothing special.

Duracell DPP-300EP Powerpack Good Product

Good product for the price...very versatile in the way it has the jumper, air compressor and power inverter all in one unit. The only down side is that it does take a little bit to charge it up but that's about it.
