Amazon.com Product Description
There are many times when extra power is needed, but not available. If an outlet is not within reach or plugging into the dashboard cigarette lighter is simply not an option, you'll be pleased that you have the Xantrex Powerpack 600HD. This 600-watt device is an all-in-one unit that is not only powerful enough to start your car, but robust enough to provides portable power for small appliances -- it even comes with a built-in air AM/FM radio and digital clock. 
The Xantrex XPower Powerpack 600HD has enough power to jump-start your vehicle. View larger. | 
The 600HD will run small appliances for hours. | 
A reverse polarity detector prevents clamping to the wrong terminals. | Enough Power to Jump-Start Your Car
Powered by a rechargeable battery, the Powerpack 600HD can jump start most 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines, and will operate a wide range of DC-powered products. 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. Runs Multiple Appliances at Once
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.

 FULLTIME RVER'S MUST-HAVES! May 23, 2008
2 years ago we became fulltime RVers. Our first were 4 Xantrex Powerpack 400W. We use for an evening of TV and Computer rather than use the limited house power. However after after many uses, the power/time diminishes. We then bought 4 Xantrex Powerpack 600W. Great product for our needs! With both models, we have jumpstarted other's vehicles. Cannot speak to the radio, but both models function well for power. We recharge on shore power in a building (usually overnight) and from the truck cab while traveling (about 4-6 hours). Quite heavy to lug around, but hopefully, Xantrex will make more power, less weight in the near future!
powers my color tv at race weekends. May 6, 2008
I couldn't quite swing 1k for a honda generator, not yet anyway. This little guy powers my laptop and color TV for a few hours every night before bed at the race track. I race spec miata so i use it for a lot of utility things around the track, lights, small appliances, etc.
Couple things it does well:
color tv as i mentioned
laptop
small fan
radio
jumpstarts my crappy daily driver.
things it wont do:
coffee maker
personal heater
big halogen lights
its no generator but it does do a lot of the activities i need. Id buy it again. i dropped it and cracked the case and it still works nicely. pretty durable!

Item arrived from Amazon very fast and with free shipping. It was an impressive transaction. Thanks Amazon! The unit itself has done everything I expected. I've been using this unit on my boat to power some sanders, drills, saws etc. Every powertool I've needed outside has been easy to use with this xantrex unit. I dont need to hunt for an outlet around the boat yard. During the summer season, I'm mainly going to use this to tie into my boats 110v system while at sea since I dont have a generator. It should do fine in powering tvs, dvd players, charging a laptop etc. I did try my 27" LCD tv with it and it works. the TV gives off a very faint buzz but it works. I wouldnt use an expensive TV with this but for a cheap off-brand TV that you dont care about, it should be ok. This will not power a mini fridge or a space heater. I tried both and it trips out immediately. I didnt expect it to power these appliances but just thought I'd put it out there for those who were wondering. The light is very bright and has come in handy many times. The radio in this unit is a let-down. Digital tuning is a major pain (scans too fast and is hard to land on the exact station) and the antenna broke off the first day. Regardless, you're not buying this as as a stereo but it would have been a great addition if it worked better. The unit seems pretty solid and it's not a pain to carry around. It is hefty but it's comfortable to carry. I may buy another one just to extend the power needs I may have at sea.
 Don't buy this. April 12, 2008

Mine lasted about 6 months. It reads 100 and doesn't hold a charge. I was using it every day and one day...well..it wouldn't run my laptop , even thought it said it was fully charged. Looking at the other reviews, I think I would've done better buying something else. In fact, I'm going to buy the Black and Decker and chunk this.
