Video Transcript for Review of Duracell Tire Inflation and Repair - Jump Starter Power Station - DU76FR

Ellen: Hey, everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com, and we're taking a quick look at the Duracell Powerpack Pro 1100. This is going to be a jump box and also a tire inflator. It's a really handy tool to have with you whether you're out camping and you need some kind of a powerpack that doesn't make a lot of noise, or maybe you just want to have in the shop, around the office, around home. It's really useful. We actually use this guy all the time here at etrailer.

I use this all the time for opening really anything that needs 12 volt power. So, pretty familiar with this guy. It's very handy, and we've used ours for years, and we've just now got a shiny new one to show off to you guys. I hope that I can go through all the features, and show you everything that this guy can do to really help with a lot of different things around the home or elsewhere.One of the main things is that it is going to be a powerpack, so you can jumpstart your vehicle if it happens to have a dead battery. Pretty typical way to do that.

And just kind of get this as close as you can to your battery. You've got your positive red clamp for the positive side of the battery, and then the negative. Put that on there, and then turn on the switch to turn on the power there. Should give you the power. There's no sound or anything else like that.

But once that's on, leave it on there for a while. Let the battery charge up a little bit. After a while, start the card and shouldn't have any issues there.That's the main function that I use here at etrailer to power any of our 12 volt stuff that needs a bit more juice than some of our other devices. Use these a long time. The cord can be a little bit short, especially if you've got to reach kind of far.

But they work pretty well. Haven't had any issues with it, and it should give you a good bite. I like that it has a dedicated spot for those cables to live. They clamp around these little knobs here. Keeps it easy. Keeps it from having cords going all over the place. Again, it gives you a really easy way to charge up those batteries.There's also an indicator of how much this is charged. You can see on the front here this center button is going to show us our battery level, and there's going to be these little lights. When you press that, you can see it's about half charged right now. Also, while we're here, you can turn on or off any of the other ports. We've got two USB ports. You can charge any of your smaller accessories, a camera, phone, small speakers, stuff like that. You can turn that on by hitting the button, and a little light will come on as well to let you know that that is on, and you can do the same thing with the two AC ports that are right here and then also the inlet as well.We've got two outs and one in. Again, you'll turn on the power for that with this button here. And the reason why you want to turn those on and off is obviously just to preserve as much of the battery life as possible. If you leave that on, it will drain the battery. Same for that USB port. You only want to turn them on whenever you need them. Also, up at the top, we'll have a 12 volt round connection. If you've got anything that uses that old-school cigarette lighter kind of plug, you can plug that in right there. I don't think that that needs to have any kind of switch turned on. I think that is always live, but you can always test it out.And then when it comes to actually charging this, the power cord is tucked away inside this little compartment, which is kind of hard open from that side. It's a little bit stiff. You're just going to squeeze that to open this, and I have to get a little screwdriver. It is pretty tight. One bad thing about this is that this little knob is underneath this handle, so it's kind of hard for me to get a good purchase on that little knob. If you've got stronger hands than me, I'm sure this won't be as much of an issue. I have strangely weak hands. That is my burden to bear. There we go. Okay.Now, inside there we'll have our plug to run everything. You actually plug this in at the outlet here. The charging port. So, you can run that. It just plugs in right here, plug it into the wall, charge it up. Usually takes a few hours to get that to fully charge. I usually just leave it overnight and it'll charge back up. But tucks out of the way. And also inside here, you'll find a couple of attachments for the air hose. This is also a tire inflator. On this backside, you can see this little hose here. You can take this off, air up any of your tires. You can use this for automotive, bike tires . just about anything. And then with the other attachments, you can also use it to inflate any other kind of accessories.Now, when you turn this on, it is an unbelievably loud. It's just really, really rattly. That's kind of one bad thing is that it makes an awful racket when you turn on this air compressor. Brace yourself. Told you it was loud. That's one bad thing about it. But it does have a little pressure gauge here on the side, so you can see how much pressure you've got, which is always really nice especially if you're doing anything that's kind of more delicate. Or also if you're using on your vehicle, you want to make sure that you get it up to the pressure that you need without having to check it with a gauge.I'm going to put my finger over this just to create a little bit of pressure, so you can see that needle move. I'm going to turn this on again. Pretty nice there. It does have a runtime of about 10 minutes, and then you want to let the system cool down for about 10 minutes. That compressor does take a bit of power to run. Not something that you can do all the time. It will wear down the battery, but just keep that in mind there. Again, we'll have a couple of little attachments. So, sort of a bigger spacer needle attachment and then a smaller funnel. Kind of your typical accessories to go into that port.Last feature that I want to show you guys is the emergency light on the side here. If you're working on something, or especially if you're trying to jump your battery in the dark, you can put on the light and see what you're doing. It makes it a lot easier, especially if you don't have a flashlight with you. It does adjust. You can flip it up and down. I think it also rotates, maybe Turn this back on so I can see what I'm doing. Well, looks like it just scoots up or scoots down. But still, having that light is very nice so that you don't have to fumble around in the dark while you're trying to connect your cables.This will work with AGM, and sealed or non-spillable lead-acid type batteries. You can have a 12 volt battery. You can also use it for any engine up to eight cylinders. The starting current on this is 1,100 amps. That's the peak. The battery has 12 amp hours. As far as the other specs, you can see those all listed out on our product page here at etrailer.com. It does weigh about 17 pounds. Not super heavy. It's something that you can carry around pretty easily, but it's also maybe something that might be a little bit heavier for little ones to carry around if you're having anybody help you undo your stuff, or unpack your car, or anything else like that.But all in all, I think this is a really handy tool to have. It just has a lot of different accessories all-in-one. It's relatively compact. Like I said, we've been using this guy for years, so it's very reliable. Duracell is a name that you know and trust. I hope that this has been helpful in deciding if this is the right accessory for you. We do have a lot of other accessories here at etrailer.com for all kinds of outdoor and automotive needs. Check us out. Thanks for watching.
