The Duracell PowerBlock 500 is a gas-free battery generator that can make outdoor activities more fun and help in emergencies.
The PowerBlock 500 has a 478Wh Lithium-Ion battery and a 500W Pure Sine Wave Inverter that can power up to seven devices at once through multiple ports: 3 AC Outlets, 2 USB-A Ports, 1 USB-C Port, and a 12V DC socket.
Bring speakers, a laptop, and a mini-fridge on your next camping trip, or make sure you have plenty of lights and a charged phone when the power goes out at home.
For added convenience, the Duracell PowerBlock 500 can be charged in two ways: with AC power or with solar panels like Duracell’s 200W Portable Solar Panel and its built-in MPPT controller.
