I guess i have a newer model of this Powerpack....I see NO place to plug in the solar panel jack. How do I remedy this?

You will probably need to get (or create) an adapter that connects the solar panel into the lighter outlet. These don't come with a special "solar panel" jack. Some brands of packs have a little "wall-wart" AC charger with a "charging jack" that can sometimes be used, but if you're solar panel puts out more than 2 amps then I'd not use that "charging jack".

The power pack doesn't charge. you just plug it into a 110 volt outlet to give it volyage.Jack

It discourages you to plug in the power pack while using the unit. If you want it plugged in while in use then you have to purchase the optional base.

I can't post a photo. The transformer and plug adaptor is included in the power pack.

Take power chord from telescope. Should have cigarette lighter end on it. And plug it into side of power tank. Plug has cover you'll have to slide up to expose socket. Plug power chord in and you should be good to go.

I just reviewed the pictures you have online for your solar panel setup. I have the following suggestions. Its hard to tell how the meter is wired but you may want to check the wiring with the online diagram. I'd recommend moving your battery setup to a less flammable location. The way you are charging all your 12V parallel batteries does not allow for balanced charging so any one of your parallel sets could get out of balance, be overcharged and explode. Look up "thermal runaway". You should probably have some type of temperature monitor on you system or just may sure your batteries stay cool when charging/discharging. Good luck.

There is no adapter. All I did was cut the AC plug off and separated the two wires. Quickly attached to power and ground to find polarity adjusted accordingly (+-) then connected them to appropriate source. I have my system solar and it works perfectly. Simple to install a small panel because the motor will only be running one minute twice a day. With it being solar never have to reset timer if there was a power outage.

I found a removable panel on the side of the Block Rocker I own and I can see the battery, but I can't get it out. The battery in my unit only held a charge one time. It works fine with the the unit plugged in, not on battery power.

Are you using a battery back up? This would help. Also the inclination of the panel per Earth to Sun is important, as day becomes afternoon then evening.

I don't know the configuration of your Duracell powerpack pro 600. How do you normally charge it?

I just ran into the same issue, I can see it on the board but there is no panel on the front. Contacting Amazon support...

It looks like you have a problem with the assembly of the unit. I went out and bought a jack to plug it into the wall. So I don't have to charge it. You can buy them at Best buy they are about $15.00. I have not had any issues with mine. I use it all the time. You may want to send it back if it is broken.

Haven't Opened mine up so I can't help you. You might be on to something as it seems to Over Charge my Battery during the warmer months. My Solar Panel Controller does not seem to be able to account for this properly so I am forced to disconnect the Solar Panel for awhile when this happens. I plan to open mine up & look once it warms up again & the snow is gone for the season.

The connector, including the "adapter" that comes with the solar panels, does NOT connect directly into the Duracell Powerpak Pro 600 (DR600PWR). I'm hoping there is an adapter that will work but haven't found it yet. I have sent an E-mail to Instapark but haven't gotten a response yet.

I returned mine. Only a solar panel, not a charging unit. Nothing else included. It didn't charge anything even using my own usb cable.

You need a charge controller. I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008I0IZ7O/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , but I had to cut the wires on the solar panel to connect to the charge controller. You can get adapters, but I'm not sure what those are called.

no place to plug in. But I noticed something on mine while looking for a jack. On the back at the top is a little flip out with a hole in it, that can be used to hang the timer on a nail or hook. And I find I have lost my instruction sheet. Dang
