Sewing Machine-Tool Battery Pack Power Box
Use the Duo-Power to power your sewing machine and serger off-grid from robust and reliable power tool battery packs, such as those used with Makita, Milwaukee, and Dewalt power tools: a lightweight, compact unit, no need to lug around a car battery and an inverter.
Duo-Power is a high-quality, made-in-the-USA power box with a durable, compact powder-coated metal cabinet, something you would not expect in today’s plastic component imported environment!
Requires both battery packs to operate. Husbands beware! Your wife is lurking in your workshop, and you may be missing your drill battery packs very soon.

Description / Sewing Machine-Tool Battery Pack Power Box
Use electric sewing machines in off-grid environments, including cabins, boats, RVs, and other remote locations. Duo-Power is manufactured for Amish off-grid communities. Refreshingly, the innovative Amish build things the old-fashioned way, to last a long time, and to work as American-made products were once made to do in the early 1900s.
Duo-Power is easy to pack and carry, a perfect companion for your Singer Featherweight sewing machine at quilt shows and off-grid outdoor events.
Duo-Power is a pure sine-wave unit that powers computers, copiers, small kitchen appliances, and other 110-volt equipment requiring under 600 watts—a reliable backup power source for emergency outages.
Runs approximately six continuous hours on two 5AH (amp-hour) batteries. Lower-amp-hour batteries will run for shorter periods. Run times are also contingent on usage, battery age, and charge levels. Considering the setup times for starting and stopping the machine during sewing, actual sewing machine usage will exceed that of running a similar appliance continuously. Use the following formula to estimate your needs more accurately.
Load in watts ➗ 18 = load amps
AH of battery ✖️ number of batteries = total AH of battery storage
Total ah of battery storage ➗ load amps ✖️ .93 = hours of runtime
A separate battery charging station will be needed. Most tool batteries already come with a charging station. The Amish use multi-battery packs and solar-powered charging stations to meet their sewing needs.
Powerpack batteries are not included (pictured for demonstration only). Newer 5 AH or higher (amp-hour) rated batteries are recommended for maximum run times. Amp Hour batteries such as 1.5AH, 3AH, 4AH, 5AH, 6AH, 9AH & 12AH may also be used, but run times will be shorter with lower Amp Hours and slightly longer with higher Amp Hour batteries. For example, a 3 AH battery would power a product for exactly half as long as a 6 AH battery. The unit has space for two battery packs; at least one is required to operate the unit.
Available with docking stations for Makita, Milwaukee 18V, or Dewalt 20V battery packs. Milwaukee and DeWalt batteries (Malt) are compatible with either brand. Your Duo-Power will then only work with the selected battery pack.
