by Joe Stewart on Tue, 2008-11-11 00:30

Much of the US is accustomed to power problems from thunderstorms, but are not prepared and have taken no precautions. Give yourself peace of mind during thunderstorms and while traveling with the Duracell Powerpack 450 to provide portable backup power.

The Powerpack 450 provides AC output at a continuous 340W to power a variety of household devices like laptops and your blender while camping or picnicking at the lake.

The display showing runtime is a very nice feature. I'm not sure how much I would like it talking to me though. But for some people, the voice instructions giving step-by-step usage might make all the difference and give them confidence in emergencies.

More conventional features are a 150 PSI compressor, 2 ft. jumper cables, and a 5 watt lamp.
