Plugged something that drew more than 200W and it stopped working, the older model had a overload reset button, this one I could find a way to reset the inverter. It just showed the warning sign and the ac outlet didn’t work anymore. Not sure if it was bricked but because I couldn’t get it to work again I took it back to Costco ( called the service number first but no answer , just a long wait on the phone for someone to pick up, gave up after 20 minutes) Anyone else ran into this? Are they really that problematic if you plug something that draws more than the 200w advertised?
For any people that do get this battery pack don't make his mistake charge it for 40 hours upon purchase if you don't you'll screw up the battery inside and you won't get peak battery power.
Just scored one at goodwill today for $10, some old man returned it saying it didn’t work so I bought it and so far working good lol I think he plugged it in on the front plug in and not the charger port on the side LOL
If it is fully charged how much power does it store then for the power and USB’s? It’s gotta have a mah that it stores right? What’s the limit on like phones you can charge power you can use before you have to recharge it again figuring you can’t recharge it and only have then one full charge. Like what will you be able to charge with it or power up before it’s dead again and you can’t recharge it again
Hopefully someone will reply back. I just don't know enough about it to answer that question. Costco has an upgraded model now. May be worth looking into as well.
Make sure it's not on ac power setting, turn off led, and (blue) usb charging port. Make sure the jump switch is also in the off position. It just auto shuts off.
I bought one of these CATs today and you just saved me a lot of reading from the manual! Thank you for the great demo! I believe my $99+tax was money well spent!
The old version is the CAT CJ3000 Professional Jump Starter: 2000 Peak/1000 Instant Amps with Built-In Power Switch, Bought one for 19.99 at a thrift store. the problem with it was the power button took it apart, fix it and everything worked fine.
Only bad part about these multiuse chargers is that they only last a few years and you have to buy another one again because either the pump fails first or the battery degrades.
The same thing happened to mine. The compressor broke after only a half dozen uses. Also, the battery won't charge past 12.6 VDC and it discharges rapidly, even on very low loads.
Excellent thought. It’s a bit underwhelming when it comes to the tire inflation because it doesn’t stop when it makes it to the desired PSI. set it for 36psi and it will go to 35.9 and keep running.
@@2StallGarage about how long did it take to get a tire to 35.9? I'm thinking of adding this to my offroading kit, where I need to air back up more frequently than I need to charge a battery. Thanks!
I found out by using this that it WILL STOP after it reaches the target PSI. I just had to give it a bit more time to finish up. I’ll time it from flat to 36 psi and let you know.
SO glad I picked this up at Costco! For the 1st time in my long life, I jump started a car all by myself without having to ask strange men to help me! Not that the men were strange.. you know what I mean. When you hook it up, red first, the display turns on, then you turn the knob to on and start the car. Disconnected in reverse order and turned it off. Super easy! Woohoo!
I seen a dumbbell return his because it could not fill his tire 🛞 on his RV and was too slow. It’s for small vehicles 🚗 not big vehicles. You’d think that would be just common sense for some.
I have one . I’ve always wanted to test the wall plug by connecting my old stereo receiver. Today I confirmed that it does. Now does any one know how much time will the battery stay on ? It’s for camping purposes.
My son has had his for 3 years. He uses it all the time for jumping, and airing tires. (His own vehicles, and damsels in distress) Still works great so far! Thanks for video! (edit spelling, lol)
I bought 1, but end up returned. It took 26hrs to get full charge and completely discharge after sitting 3 weeks not use. There is too much work to keep it charge every 2-3 weeks.
Ours sits in the back of our car. I have small hope that it would jump anything if/when needed even after a recent charge. The boost pack battery gets exhausted very quickly.
it gets the job done...very slowly. i got this as a gift last year and last night the low tire pressure came on due to changing weather. took 10 minutes to get 4 tires from 26 to 32 psi. so yeah, good in an emergency but not something I will rely on.

No pure sine wave so you will fry any modern-day electronics you plug into the 120V outlet. Fans and motors are OK.
How long will it last with 200 watts on a full charge? I just got one, do you think it's best not to exceed 150 watts to be on the safe side to prevent damage?
Not sure how long it will go and absolutely agree, keep it to 150 max as to not blow it. Costco will take it back at any time if it breaks, even after warranty. Just keep it in mind.
@@2StallGarage I hit the AC power button a second time before switching off the unit and the led screen shut off after 15 seconds. It's a weird design quirk, but I can work around it. Thanks anyway for responding

Even if you loose the extension cable for charging the jump starter you can use a different extension cable the cable that comes with it is just a extension cable I found that out after loosing one for my jump starter and tried a extension cable I had on hand and that worked
At the alarm on it keeps not want to shut off how do I set it off thank you for telling you guys if somebody tell me I'm just driving me nuts it works great but it says the alarm sound won't go off and I can't shut it off how do I do it and it has no off button!!
The alarm sounds if the dial is turned to the on position for an extended amount of time or if the vehicle is running &!the alternator is charging. Hoping this helps!
Thanks for the video on this. I got a little worried that the unit might tip over when you left it unattended to turn your ignition key. I could see the vibration from the engine rocking this thing off the car. They need to put slightly longer cables on it so you can place the unit on the ground. I can't find the spec anywhere for the mAh capacity of these CAT jump starters. After reading up on some of the problems people are having, combined with a lack of usable info, I'm gonna keep shopping.
If you have the basic skills. Open it up and run cables directly to the battery and charge it. A great way to bypass the 40 hours it takes to charge with the weakest charging setup I have seen for a long time! I set it up to plug into a controller that bypasses to the battery and I can plug into a solar panel. ❤
Can you connect the air line to a dual headed chuck by way of a brass air line adapter? (I need to use the chuck to reach the valve stems on the inside set of the rear tires on an RV, and the chuck has a 1/4" female end on it.)
I just got this. Will not turn on out of the box. Plugged it in to charge and an alarm sounded. The dial is in the off position, but it kept flashing that there is an error in the jump start...but I'm just trying to charge. Not anything else is on. Did I get a bum item?
@@2StallGarage yeah, I watched a lot of videos and read the instructions, and no one seems to have my exact problem. Then I realized that it looks like the inner computer is damaged. Hence why it cannot shut off Jumpstart mode. Well, off to the return desk
@florentinequack good. I hope it works well for ya. I was in Costco today but didn’t make it down that isle. I’ll have to check it out if you find it works well.
Thanks for the review! Today a customer jumped my work van with one of these and I must have one. I'll make up a short pigtail cord with a 1.5 Amp AGC fuse for the AC outlet to avoid damaging the inverter if overloaded. 120V x 1.5A= 180W...this should work.
just purchased one and was pleasantly surprised to see that it came fully charged and wasn’t doubting it could actually jump a dead car (battery), Costco stuff is renowned for being reliable. What I would’ve like better explained is how it works, like how to recharge it once it needs recharging. And what colors are + & - terminals.
I’m glad it’s working out for you. I’ve been happy with it too. I should have done a review inflating all 4 tires from flat to aired up to proper PSI. It does an excellent job with tires and stops when it reaches the targeted PSI. Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated. 🔧
@@2StallGarage is it OK to leave it plugged in to an AC outlet on a regular basis so the Cat jumper stays fully charged? They say it needs to be recharged every 30 days but most guys won’t think of going out to recharge it, so when they need it in the future it will probably be dead. It likely mentions this in the owners manual literature but those can be quite wordy, which is why guys like me resort to these UA-cam instructional videos.
I plug it in overnight and then use it until it’s 1 bar down on the battery indicator before plugging it in overnight again. I don’t leave it continually plugged in, but I didn’t read the manual to see if it could be either.
I returned it. Make sure you charge it for the appropriate amount of 1st time charging required per the instructions. Good unit, mine just didn’t last.
@@2StallGarage thanks! I'm charging it as we speak, hopefully it works! But as I also bought mine at Costco I'm not too worried their return policy is great
I bought one after a scout camp because one of the other dads had one. He was using it as a power bank. Since I have had it I have used every feature of it from the jumper, usb charging, AC plug, compressor and even the light. It has performed great in every regard. When it comes to the air compressor I love how you set the psi and it just stops when you reach it be it a bike tire, car tire or basketball.
This thing is great! I bought mine in November 2022 & only charged it once at that time. I lost the charging cable at the same time lol! Since then I’ve jumped 3 dead cars, including my Buick 455 yesterday that took a really long time to crank since I haven’t fired it up in like 6 months! I’m might just buy a new charging cable for it. Just been holding back coz I have a feeling it will pop up as soon as I buy the new one
Do you put the black (-) cable on the negative (-) terminal of the battery, or put it on the engine block/metal to ground it? Your video looks like you have it connected to the negative (-) terminal?
Hi I have a question I jump started my car I accidentally didn’t switch the power off on it and unplugged the cable and grabbed the device I’m not sure if they touched or not but the product beeped and then I remembered to turn it off after that which was like 5 seconds after I was wondering if anything would happen to it or if it has a sensor that doesn’t make it spark thanks
that is what happens when you purchase a vehicle with no warranty and you hit a dear and it was not repair by your insurance tell me you had a cheap insurance.,.
Wait, wrong video. If the screen is stuck on the entire time, the unit is defective. It should turn off momentarily after you switch it off with the black turn dial.

Same here my ac stopped working and it just blinks and shows AC ⚠️.
Trying to figure out why it stopped working. Do you know why by any chance?
read the instructions. the cord plugs into the outlet to charge the unit to full capacity before use.

Make sure it's not on ac power setting, turn off led, and (blue) usb charging port. Make sure the jump switch is also in the off position. It just auto shuts off.
Avoid at all cost, it will start beeping and would start the compressor even when disconnected.
That’s not good
the 1000w was a little piece of sh$t. Will never buy another one
The air compressor is crap. I'm guessing the seals are unreliable.

Do you put the black (-) cable on the negative (-) terminal of the battery, or put it on the engine block/metal to ground it? Your video looks like you have it connected to the negative (-) terminal?
On the negative battery terminal. 👍
Hi I have a question I jump started my car I accidentally didn’t switch the power off on it and unplugged the cable and grabbed the device I’m not sure if they touched or not but the product beeped and then I remembered to turn it off after that which was like 5 seconds after I was wondering if anything would happen to it or if it has a sensor that doesn’t make it spark thanks
It beeps just to let you know it’s still active on boost mode.
How you turn it off?
Just turn it into the inactive position with the big dial
How do you charge the jumper itself?
Use the cord to plug it into a wall outlet. Charge for 40 hours straight before using.
@2StallGarage I bought mine at a yard sale it didn't come with a cord , is there an alternative way?
@mynameisearl7537 ah man, come on people. Just google search a replacement cord for it.
@mynameisearl7537 bummer they didn’t give you a cord. You’ll fix it and you’ve got this. 👍
@@2StallGarage can I use a regular extension cord?
that is what happens when you purchase a vehicle with no warranty and you hit a dear and it was not repair by your insurance tell me you had a cheap insurance.,.
I purchased it as a parts car but sold the car that needed the parts. It’s heading to the junk yard. 👍
How do turn the thing off?!lol that blue LED screen just stays on all the time.
Push and release the power button. Don’t push and hold. Hope that helps! Subscribe please. Yes, I beg of you. 🙂
Wait, wrong video. If the screen is stuck on the entire time, the unit is defective. It should turn off momentarily after you switch it off with the black turn dial.
