Kendrick Power Packs NEW (June 2017) 7 new models! Now with optional Anderson Power Pole plugs!

For decades, Kendrick Power Packs have been the Gold Standard for rugged and reliable portable power. With proper care, these packs will last many years and when the battery reaches the ripe age of retirement, just pop-in a replacement and you're good for many more years.

All models have the traditional cigarette lighter socket and now, Anderson Power Pole connectors are available.

Our Premier Power Packs can also be configured with STEP-UP Voltage Inverters to power mounts that need 15V / 18V / 24V / 48V. Inverter output uses a 3-prong "XLR" connector to prevent accidentally plugging into the wrong outlet. We offer a variety of telescope power cords that will work for your mount.

All wiring connections use proper gauge wire and are soldered (the battery terminal connections excepted). Our Premier Series uses Schurter circuit breakers, so there is no need to carry extra fuses. Our Premier Series use all metal, powder coated cases.

All models include a Deltran battery float charger. The included charger will never overcharge your battery and may be left plugged into the battery for extended periods of time without harming the battery.

All models also include a tough padded cordura carry bag. The carry bags have a pocket to store the charger when not in use.

Our Premier Series Power Packs are designed for easy battery replacement.

    Charging Your Battery

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not discharge your Kendrick battery below 11.6 volts as it may be damaged internally. When charging the battery, be sure to plug the charger into the battery first, then into a wall socket. Failure to do this will result in the battery failing to charge.

    The charger will never overcharge the battery and may be left plugged into the battery for extended periods of time without harming the battery. We have a 6 amp float charger available that will charge the 2082 and 2083 family of batteries in 5 to 6 hours (not recomended for the 2081 or 2080 batteries). Customers outside of North America will need to choose a battery charger with a plug that is appropriate for their country (see the shopping cart below).

    NEVER use an automotive charger to charge these batteries. It will ruin the battery. Automotive chargers charge at a higher voltage than other battery chargers. If the charger charges at 14.8 volts or higher, the electrolyte will begin to turn to gas and ruin the battery. In a normal car battery this is not a problem as the battery can be topped up. In a sealed battery (which ours is) the electrolyte that turns to gas will be vented through its seals and cannot be replaced."

    A Note About Deep Cycle Batteries And Low Voltage Cut-Off

     

    Warranty

    Customers are strongly encouraged to inspect and test their battery immediately upon receipt. Check to make sure it is fully charged, that the LED display works correctly, that the charger works properly.Also, be sure to continue to check the voltage for several days after receiving it. It should hold its voltage. If it does not, contact Kendrick.

    The battery is under warranty for three months from date of shipping. The rest of the battery pack is under warranty for 6 months after the date of purchase. Consequential damages for malfunctions, resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, failure to follow operating instruction, or unauthorized repairs will void this warranty.

    Every battery is shipped in a heavy duty shipping box. Customers are requested to keep this box for the warranty period in case the battery should ever need to be returned for maintenance or warranty replacement. BATTERIES MUST BE RETURNED IN THEIR ORIGINAL SHIPPING BOX FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT. Warranties for batteries will only be honored on batteries shipped in their original packaging.
