It also has a built-in emergency light for extra illumination to keep you out of the dark and to provide light so others can see you if you're stranded.

With three AC outlets and one DC socket at your fingertips, the 600HD is the right power solution for people with demanding applications or the need to run multiple loads simultaneously. Use it to operate small power tools or at your outdoor worksite so you can get the job done even without an outlet nearby. It will also charge cell phones so you can stay connected.

Built-in AM/FM Radio
This unit also has an integrated AM/FM radio and digital alarm clock that provides access to music, talk radio and news, weather, and important information in critical emergency situations.

Rechargeable Battery
The XPower Powerpack 600HD is powered by a sealed, non-spillable 28AH battery that can be conveniently recharged from any household AC outlet or DC cigarette-lighter outlet so that it can be made ready anytime, anywhere.

Great for Outings
The Powerpack 600HD isn't just for times of need. It is perfect for taking on camping trips or outings where some extra power is needed to run camcorders, video games, televisions, even your espresso machine.

Safety Mechanisms
The feature-rich Powerpack 600HD has a built-in 600 watt inverter and a reverse polarity detector to prevent accidentally clamping the cables onto the wrong terminals. A barragraph LED indicator monitors the Powerpack's battery charge level, so it won't overcharge, and an audible alarm signals unit overheat and battery under-voltage conditions. An overload and over-temperature protection is built in to ensure longer inverter life.

Whether it's a job site or a camp site, the XPower Powerpack 600HD is the ideal portable power solution.

Power pack
Easy to use, powerful for what I use it for (tailgating and other light outdoor uses), and holds a charge well. I've used it to jump-start 2 cars since I've had it and it has plenty of power for this--jumped them quickly on the first try.

Only con is the weight, but a pack with this wattage rating is going to have some weight to it.
 
Xantrex Powerpack 600HD wins!
This powerpack has not failed me for the past 8 months I've owned it. I've jump started vehicles on more than 3 occasions (not my own..lol), powered a 12V air compressor to inflate a flat tyre (again not my flat), ran a fan for a BBQ for 4+ hours as well as used the light and radio with a 12v mp3 player which worked great. It seems as though this thing has helped other people more than myself. For this reason i have absolute faith in it.

It does take longer to charge with the AC adapter compared to the 12v adapter but then again apart from the initial 48 hour charge it required out of the box the other times i charged it of the AC was overnight which was long enough. I keep it in my car and always top-up charge it every week or two. It has never failed me and i recommend it all the way.

I really feel sorry for the reviewers who received this powerpack partly functional and had to return because i obviously didn't get such a defective unit. Assuming you get this item in a flawless condition as i did you will have no regrets!
 
A Good Buy
I bought the unit in November of 2007 for a campout my family was having. The unit worked very well. I ran a laptop and external hard drive off of it for almost 3 hours and still had enough juice to jumpstart my car with it the next day before recharging. I think in most ways it is better than a generator as you don't have to refuel it. Just plug it in to a car DC outlet or a standard AC outlet and let it charge for 2-6 hours and you're good as new. An excellent buy itf you don't have huge power requirements.

Pros- Virtually noiseless, lightweight compared to a generator, good recharge time for a battery.

Cons- Less capability than a generator to supply power, shorter life.

Overall rating- 4 of 5 Stars
 
power outage equipment
This is a great little charger. Its a bit heavy, but it sure helps on camping trips for plugging in phone chargers and lots of other things. And it doesn't lose much power. Also great when the power goes out. Just keep it close. The light on it wont help you in the dark if you cant even find the charger.
 
perfect powerpack
bought this summer to use as back up power source in our r.v. has power to spare!!! ran a 13 inch television perfectly highly recommended!!!!
