Duracell PowerSource 1440W is a portable battery generator that produces clean, gasless, odorless power when you need it the most.
Whether you’re hunkered down at home during a power outage or off on an adventure, Duracell PowerSource is the safest, most reliable way to power anything you might from a traditional AC wall outlet.
This portable battery generator can power a TV for 15 hours, lighting for 48 hours, and even a full-size refrigerator for 5 hours. You can also charge your important devices like laptops, tablets and smartphones many times over.
Use daisy-chaining capabilities to cost effectively double and triple its storage capacity. Also enjoy fast and easy solar power charging.
In today’s uncertain world where disaster can strike at any time, get power you can count on every time from Duracell, a brand you can trust.
Emergency Preparedness
In an emergency situation having power is critical. In most major emergencies you can be stranded without power for several days. The PowerSource allows you to keep critical devices powered up until power is restored.
Outdoor Recreation
From inflating your air mattress to recharging your laptop the PowerSource can safely power your favorite devices from inside or outside the tent. Camping will never be the same again.
Uninterrupted Power
The PowerSource will pass power directly from the wall to any connected devices and immediately switch to its own internal battery power if the wall power is cut ensuring that the connected devices never skip a beat.
Features rich, all in one package with affordable price
I like the design with SLA battery, making this model at an affordable low price, especially for user with low utilization rate, 500 recharging cycles is more than sufficient. The solar panel ready is a great feature, able to parallel more batteries externally allow me to increase run time and the 1440W potential of running a microwave oven without reducing battery efficiency. I have not done it yet, will get 3 more external batteries to increase the run time. (One thing I wish is to have a backlight on the display, and a good detail service manual to list specification of each subsystem and the battery. How to disassemble the box to replace battery when necessary.) This is a great product, and it is my initial purchase after looking at many other products in the $2000 range.
Great for emergencies
I bought this bad boy for my apartment in preparation for some storms hitting us here in Florida. Sure enough, the power went out and I was able to use this PowerSource to keep my fridge running while the power was out for 2 hours. It’s not a light unit but it does the job and I’m happy.
A great option for camping!
I just took delivery of my unit, and it's well made. For a test run I used it in my bedroom to run a full featured CPAP machine that has a heated humidifier and heated hose plus a tiny compressor. The two heating elements - of course - consume a lot of juice. My unit uses 54 watts per hour - and sure enough - I got 16 hours use out of the 660 before it went in to protective shut down mode. Just as advertised. If I shut off both heating elements this will run my machine for a long time, probably a week. It's a heavy unit and awkward to lift, if they had supplied a shoulder strap that would have made it five stars. I'm probably going to modify my unit to accommodate one but it may be a challenge to find strong enough mounting points. Compared to my loud and stinky generator it's a no-brainer. Overall very pleased! I purchased mine at Costco online so the pricing was excellent - and of course delivery was free.

General Questions
Yes. It will not overcharge the battery.
You need to push and hold the power button which will light up the screen, turn on the inverter and activate the UPS function.
The watt meter measures loads over 50 watts.
They are always on.
No, it can not be disabled. When the internal battery has 10.5 volts, the alarm will sound. Please turn off the unit or recharge it.
The unit is always grounded when plugged into the wall. When it is removed from the wall it has a 'floating' ground.
The 1440 watt inverter will draw approximately up to 120 amps from a 12.8 volt battery.
No, the AC waveforms will not be synced, it is not safe and will damage both units.
You can connect (Daisy Chain) 12V Lead acid batteries to the terminals to extend your run-time. Red to Positive(+), Black to negative(-) The battery is connected to the unit by the 10mm posts on the back.
If your cable is less than 4 feet long, you can use 4 gauge wire. Longer cables will require 2 gauge.
The larger the better however the built-in 6A charger will take a long time to charge larger batteries.
A circuit breaker can be installed on either the positive or negative side; Keep it as close to the external battery as possible-the breaker will protect the battery; the unit will protect itself.
150 to 200 amps is sufficient ex: 1800 (watts) / 12 v (input) = 150 amps
This unit has a modified sine wave which can cause some items with motors to make a buzzing sound.
You may plug a portable pure sine wave inverter to the back terminals, but you will not be able to use the 'instant on' UPS function on the external inverter because UPS function is only available from the front ports. We recommend only using products with NRTL certification (UL, ELT, CSA logos) and FCC approval.
We recommend using the shortest possible factory made cables with Anderson connectors to minimize resistance.
Items with heating elements like heaters, irons and cookers use 1000 watts or more and are an inefficient use of the battery energy. Additionally air conditioning units will not work with the PowerSource.
Questions about charging the PowerSource
Lead acid batteries are generally rated for 500 cycles before they reach about 70% of their original capacity.
It takes 10-12 hours to charge the internal battery from 0 to 100% when plugged into the wall.
Yes, the power from the wall outlet will recharge both the internal and external batteries as if it was one big battery.
Yes, but it is not recommended. You need to carefully monitor the charging, and cut it off when the battery reaches 14.6 volts, because it is DIRECT CHARGING.
Yes, there are 2 ways to charge from a gas generator: 1) If the generator has an inverter, plug into DR660PSS AC cord into the AC port of the gas generator. 2) If the gas generator has a battery charging port you can charge the DR660PSS using the daisy chain terminals but it must be carefully monitored and removed when the internal battery reaches 14.6V.
You may use a wind turbine WITH a charge controller for 12 v batteries. You will need to connect it to the Daisy Chain terminal posts on the back of the unit.
Questions about charging with solar panels
It takes 10 hours or more to charge the internal battery with a solar panel. Panel type, length of connections, intensity of the sun and atmospheric conditions all affect the power delivered to the unit.
100 watts is the maximum we recommend when using the built-in solar controller which has a 15A replaceable fuse inside.
You may use the 12v socket (15A max) on the front or the Daisy Chain terminals (120A max) in the back to connect a solar panel with external charge controller.
Yes, the PowerSource will recharge from the wall outlet first, and if the power goes out it will automatically switch over to recharging via the solar panels.
