His sense of humour is appreciated. The only issue is to help people that do not have access to a repair Friends? Thanks for making a great video.
Good job. I normally repair all of my cars and everything that breaks in my house. I'm a technician and repair equipment at work. But it is more satisfying to me repairing stuff at home.
Thanks for the great comment. Too many people just throw stuff out and buy a new one. Does Not cost anything to take things apart to see how they work. Might be able to fix them cheap or even free.
So I have the same box. It works plugged into the wall and the battery seems good. I checked the fuse you found here and it was bad, but after I jumped that with a inline fuse the air pump runs constantly and won’t stop. For those interested the writing on the fuse is A-YX01 E478338 9\ 94V-0 HRS2057-C 16.05. 08
can you see any heat damage on the circuit board? Think I might have to open mine up again to take a look. Thanks for the fuse info. Im still trying to find a source for them.
Excellent video. I have a Black & Decker jump starter with air comp, etc. for about 15yrs, I just keep changing out the battery. 3rd of 4th by now. Thing just keeps going. It can be a pain but just take your time and save money
Hope you get them fixed. Also hope it's not the fuse. I still haven't been able to find one. Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching and commenting.
As soon as we know what fuse to buy post it and we can get all of them back online again also Dewalt has a one year warranty on it (I just checked on mine). Thank you for the video awesome.
I can't find any of those fuses anywhere. My advice is check your local electronics repair shops for used ones. I won't give up looking. If I find a place I will post where for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very helpful and detailed video, thank you!. Just seeing how to open everything up, and then how all the parts are laid out, is worth its weight in gold. Finding that fuse, if it proves to be the problem, could be difficult. The most likely future problem is the battery, and I am sure places like Amazon will have replacements. Great video!
At 3:20 is that a thermal fuse, or a fusible link? I've only seen thermal fuses looking something like diodes. Wonder if that's a thermal fuse, was it originally attached to something inside to sense excess heat, such as that wall wart charger.
From what I understand, it is a thermal fuse. I have not found a place to buy new ones. I lucked out and found a used one. Now I can't even find used ones. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi there I have one of that you just fixed the DeWalt jumpstart same problem. I open it and found the fuse you said my problem is I can’t find here in my country , the story is when I come home from Canada I bring this one with me that’s it I can’t find here the same fuse. My question is is there any equivalent I could use or any fuse that I can replace with the same connectivity to the original? If you happen to to have any alternatives that I can use it would be helpful. Thanks Manuel
I have this exact one. Maybe you can help me with my issue. The PSI stays at 0 when airing my tire. It still airs the tire up as normal but the PSI gauge quit working.
I own an Everstart MAXX J5CPDE whose jump start feature doesn't turn on unless the engine is running. Started doing that when the battery was fully charged showing 4 bars and 12.9 volts. Everstart customer service kept repeating that it needed to recharged for 40 hours after each use. We don't have any electronics repair shops in the area so am considering to open it up to see if I can bypass the electronics with a throw switch to control the voltage going to the negative cable. It's a handy device to keep in a vehicle. I keep it charged while driving by using an Everstart 400 watt inverter plugged into a power port. It'll charge up to 13.9 volts before the 3 amp trickle vharger turns off.
Were you able to get your jump pack fixed? It's not useful if the engine has to be running to use it, since the only time you use it is when the engine doesn't start. Keep me posted with what you find. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I have this exact model. The charging time always throws me off. Personally, I think 2 or 3 days of charging is too long. But that is how long it takes for me to get a 3/4 charge. So I go with it. Anyways, lately been having an issue with the unit turning itself on (air compressor). Both when I am charging it and also when it is just sitting around the apartment waiting to go back out to my trunk (not plugged into anything). Actually I have heard the beeping from my trunk while I am out running errands. This has happened several times. Enough that I reset the PSI down to 3 on the air compressor this way when it decides to act out it is quickly subdued because the PSI is set so low. Rather than me rushing to the unit to turn it off. I have had my unit for about 3 years now. I LOVE it! I refer to it as my child when people ask about it. Luckily I am a DIYer and have no problem busting it open to see if there are any issues. Honestly I wouldn't know what to look for. And just my luck the damn thing would turn on while I am investigating. Lol. Any ideas?
The charging issue might be a battery issue and the compressor coming on itself? Switch perhaps? I have been trying to find fuses for these since I made the video with no luck. Doesn't look like parts are easy to come by. Let me know what you find. Replacement might be the best option. Let me know what you find or do. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Another Great Video... i need a battery for my power pack... i use to air up my 6 motorcycles every month and i use it for other things, but the inside battery is done... new one on order be here in 5 days, $50 free shipping home depot... Haha... i bought this unit like 5 years ago...
Please help me, the Dewalt jump starter is like the one you are showing. It also doesn't work. When I plug it in to charge the grease, the display screen shows normal light but the pump and jump starter don't work. When I unplug it, the screen and everything else are gone. Please let me know what's wrong and what parts I need to replace. Thank you very much.
That was very well done. I also do electronic and mechanical repair (and UA-cam videos) and was very impressed at your filming, explanation, and safety statements. Nice work. Subbed!
Thanks for the great comment and subscribing! Still trying to find more of those fuses. Alot of viewers have same issue I did. Any ideas where to get the fuses?.
I actually found one of these in the trash about a month ago but it’ll only recharge to about 10.5 v. dead cell. Just wanted to see what the inside looked like before I ripped it apart. Great video by the way.
Good find. Thanks for the comment. You can get a battery relatively cheap. If that's all it needs, your in good shape. Let me know how it works for you.
Good informations. That’s my mentality take everything apart when things don’t work and try to bring it back to life, with some comment send throw in there. Some time I wind some I loose. Love the video and the information.
I'm the same way. You can learn a lot by taking stuff apart and trying to figure out why it doesn't work. Doesn't cost you anything but time. That and it's possible to save a lot of money.
I read in the manual that you aren’t supposed to hook up both leads to the battery, only the positive. Negative to unpainted metal on engine. Maybe that’s why the fuse blew
I have the same type of jump box I bought 1 and it stoped working and bought another one stop and it stoped working but it still shows light when I put it on the charger. Am going to take it apart and see if I can fix it because these things are not cheap I can’t afford to keep buying these every second
The one I was recently handed only goes to 8.2 volts if charging with 120ac. I connected a 12vdc 100 mah adapter that shows nearly 20 vdc as ouput. It raised it to 9.3 within 5 mins but that's as high as it got before I disconnected it.
I never did find a new one. The one I got was from a used appliance/repair shop. If I ever find a place to get them, I'll be sure to make a video. Thanks for watching.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 good video. I'm going to pull my battery and run my reconditioner on it a week or so and see if that will make it charge up. I've had very good results with it. I had several batteries that hadn't been used or charged in nearly a decade and it brought them back to life. Two are in my boat now. Boats are hell on batteries too
Am I the only one who noticed the clean joke at the end??? "Im up $195 dollars, thats easily a nice dinner out with the wife, or some new tools, hmm what to do what to do..?" *pulls out the tool catalog* hahahahahaha PRIME!! love it
I love a good ol dad joke! thanks for the video. Managed to fix mine up to start taking charge again. However the battery is shot so it drains overnight@@shanersmechaniclife3164
Have you been able to fix your boost pack?I would check the battery and wiring . Possibly the charger is working but the battery isn't accepting a charge. Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching
I have this model. I charged it before with an orange cord in the garage, but now the starter won’t recognize my cord, but if I use an adapter charger (plugged into the wall), it will charge, just not fully. Can you recommend what I should do? Get a different cord (though there’s no problem with it)?
I have seen some chargers be picky with extension cords. Try a heavy guage chord that is as short as possible. Let me know how it works for you. Thanks for watching.
So I have a crazy question. Would it be possible to get the electronic repair contuctive copper tape that size and place it on there to repair it? I dont know alot about electronics but it kind of looks like it would work maybe.
Only if you are careful and know what you are doing. You can actually bring these sealed lead acid batteries back to life. Look closely at the top, pry off the lid. Then remove the rubber stoppers over each cell. If they are low, top them off with DEIONIZED WATER, not tap water or filtered water. If they are dry you can buy battery acid at a battery store. Batteries plus probably sells it. Fill it almost up but not all the way. Leave caps off and charge the battery with a high amperage charger. Once you get it to hold a charge its best to charge it with a charger that does the desulfate process to clean corrosion off the lead plates inside. I've brought back batteries that were dry for years. There is a possibility that a cell could be dead or broken inside but it's not very common. UA-cam has tons of videos on repairing dead batteries. Good luck. Hope this helps save some batteries from our landfills and saves some of you some money.
@@JasonSmith-utube Thank you for your teachings. I have the same problem with the battery. Do you recommend battery acid or a special water that they sell?
HELLO THANKS FROM THE VIDEO I HAVE A CAT CHARGER AND IT TURNS ON BY ITSELF, THE USB TURNS ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, AC POWER DOES NOT WORK, EVERYTHING ELSE DOES WORK, CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE? On
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I think I lost my money. I don't have the receipt to exchange it. I thought that because it was a cat charger it was good, but I've seen that everyone has had problems with that device.
Hello there sir, thank you for your videos, I have a costco cat cj1000dxt works great with the exception of the 200w female inverter this is the second unit from costco with the same issue.I was wondering if you had any ideas as to why these unit have the same issues with not working when ac power is activated? or what to look for. thanks again
I would check all the connections and make sure the battery is charging fully. Does it hold a charge? Let me know what you find, I'm curious. Thanks for watching.
🔴I have a Dewalt 1600amp jump starter, air compressor power station (dxaeps14). On my third time using the air compressor its not working. I would set the psi and press ‘air’ button for it to start, I would hear a long beep that last for about 4 seconds then the number 159.2 displayed on the screen but the compressor never turns on. i took it apart and connect the compressor directly to the battery and it works, so i know its not the compressor. what is your suggestion
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 Mine is the 1400 amp version. The LCD screen reads 152.6 on mine when you press "air". I checked the thermal fuse, it us good. I tried depleting the battery then recharging it, to no avail. I looked on DeWalt's website and couldn't even find the unit. They have probably discontinued this problematic unit. If anyone knows what the trouble codes represent, that would be cool. Otherwise, I have no choice but to do a switch-a-roo by buying another one, swapping it, and returning the broke one.
I had the same booster pack. Stopped working and wouldn’t hold a charge. I took it to a battery place and they told me it wasn’t worth fixing it so I left it with them to “recycle” it. Now I wonder if the guy just took it home and fixed it.🤦🏻♂️
Good question. The manual says 10 minutes and let cool down for 30 minutes. If you run it longer you run the risk of overheating it which can damage or ruin the compressor or blow a fuse in it which I can not find replacements for. Hope you found this helpful. Thanks for watching.
Have you tried using a heavier guage extension cord that is as short as possible? Some chargers are picky that way. Let me know how it works out for you. Thanks for watching.
I'm sure you junked the thing by now, and I understand. I've experienced this. Pull out the main battery and pop the tops. Add DISTILLED WATER or electrolyte and charge it with a regular charger and check it with a multimeter. If it's above 13v, put it back together and give it another try.
Your welcome but unfortunately I haven't been able to track them down since the guy I got mine from moved. When I find a place that sells them I will be sure to let everyone know. Thanks for watching.
Where can I take mine to get repaired? 🤔 I think it just needs a new battery. It turns on when I have it plugged in, but when I unplug it, it will not turn on.
I have the same charger mone got wet and i dried it out and started working but after charging fully the battery drains itself while not using and lights on front shut off when it drops to 12.8 volts where do i start
I would probably open it up, disconnect the battery and make sure everything is 100% dry. Moisture on circuit boards and in switches can conduct electricity and cause the battery to drain. Hope this helps. Let me know what you find.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I don't understand why this device comes with many problems, I lost My money, I lost the receipt. I have to work like 10 hours to get the money back.cat,and Cosco They sell junk
Can you do a full tear down also I opened mine and it smelled like burn I check the fuse and it worked I checked the bordes and no burn marks or arking marks? Any other tips??? I also checked the battery and it had volts. Any tips
Which functions aren't working with yours? Might want to try getting the battery load tested. Sometimes they show full voltage but fail once they are put under a load. A full tear down video is a good idea. If you find the issue let me know.
I have a different model Dewalt. Do you think I can charge it through the cable connectors that are normally use to jump start? Every thing works except , it will not charge. The charger on mine is separate and it is putting out 12.6 + volts.
You could charge it by leaving it hooked up to a running vehicle. Like in his video when he jumped the Honda it read over 14 volts. That means it’s picking up the voltage coming from the alternator and charging the jump pack.
Una pregunta tengo un arrancador. Igual ahece si ensiende un carro también se puede conectar un sólo amplificador de carro en ese arrancador y tener sonido en casas
I plug my tire up.. i believe I put a little to much air in my tire.. once I took off the tire I couldn’t cut off the air compressor… it was just running and running until i started to smell something like burnt.. It stayed running all night it finally cut off around 5 in the morning.. Do I still have hope?? Please I need help this box was about 300 bucks
Hard to say without looking at it. If it ran that long the compressor may have burnt out, but what caused it to stay running? Might end up costing more to repair than a new one would be to buy.
@@Ken-hm3rm That cat charger is crap. Everyone has had problems with it. I'm not wasting my time anymore. I'm going to throw it away. I lost the receipt.
I’m looking to get something like this to keep in the car. Do you recommend one? If parts for this are hard to come by I would rather not have to buy more then one if it craps out. Thanks.
I have the exact boost pack. No functions at all except when I have it plugged in to the 110v outlet. The battery reads 13.9 volts. The thermo fuse is good. I'm stumped.
What does the battery read when it's not plugged in? With some of those batteries if the battery is run too far down, it won't accept a charge. Might explain why it only works when it's plugged in. Let me know what you find. Hopefully it works out for you.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 Fully charged. Checked it with my volt meter. When I turn it to on I get voltage to the leads. Another words it will jump a car off. Weird nothings else works unless its plugged in. No LED display unless plugged in.
@shanersmechaniclife3164 it reads 13.2 volts. It Jumpstarted my employees car. And his battery was dead dead. It works as far as jumping off a car. The LED and air pump, the utility light, USB do not work unless it's plugged in. I tool it apart and looked for anything burnt nothing no smell of something burnt. Checked all the wires for breaks, melting and bad soldered connections and nothing. Driving me crazy. I'm like you I take stuff apart before I toss it.
I don’t get it fixed yet, but I discover there’s a small engine that runs for it is broken not really, but there’s something that goes up and down. Keep jumping working whenever I put it back together it comes off I was trying to see if I can find parts but it’s very difficult. For a price like that is totally unfair
Great detailed video. The instructions DEWALT DXAEJ14 say there is a 2-amp fuse. This looks to be a thermal fuse. Is that the correct name of what you replaced on this project?
I looked it up and to me it sounds like that fuse is in the 12volt charger plug in. The one I replaced is inside the body and is a thermal fuse. The guy I got mine off of used, has moved. I'm still trying to find more. When or if I do, I will be sure to post where.
Any guesses on what’s up with my compressor? Has worked fine but now the pump won’t increase the pressure in the tire. Does’t sound the same as when it was working.
HILTI 9160 is what i have, i had it in car overnight to power dash cam for overnight security, well it flattened the internal battery and now it wont charge, this was brand new. has not ben used to start anything! How do i trick it into charging?
Pull the battery out of it, manually charge it. Be sure to check the fluid levels of the battery. If low, add DISTILLED WATER or electrolyte and charge it. If it holds about a 13v charge, it should be salvageable. Put it back together and give it a try.
Is it normal that it takes 4 days charging? It usually takes like 2 or 3 days for fully charged after using the air compressor, but is been like 4 days now and still "charging".
No, not if you simply touch the negative cable or post with one hand and grasp the red or positive post with your other, therefore completing the circuit between the battery your hands through your heart and out your other hand. Because your body has to much resistance the 12v of pressure is not enough to push through your body. But grab a metal tool and place socket on positive post and let handle touch your car metal (same as touching the negative post). And a spark will fly, you will get burned if you are touching the place where the arc occurs. Simply holding the tool, no.
Just wanted to stress it's always a good idea to disconnect the battery on anything while working on it. May not cause physical damage but can cause damage to what you are working on.
That was cool! Can you do a video on a Super Start Power Pack 1000 peak #55002. I am a first time subscriber. I am a women that like to learn how to do things. Yes, it is nice if a man can help however, my honey passed. So I am learning what is wrong with my power pack
Note: when I plug the Super Start Power Pack up the Maintenance light comes on it is Amber in color. When it is unplugged the Super Starter Power Pack battery Status light doesn’t come on. I have the system in the Off setting as that is what I understood the instructions to indicate. I will try keeping the unit plugged in over night in hopes it will work. I am praying it will work. I forgot to charge the unit up once every month 😮
Were you able to get your power pack going? Sorry to hear about your loss. I don't have that particular power pack. If I get my hands on one I will do a teardown and review. Thanks for subscribing and watching. What kinds of videos do you think youtube needs more of?
That’s how mine was. I tested the fuse he replaced with a continuity check before and after the fuse and my fuse was bad, but the box seems functional when plugged into a wall.
Good point. That was the way it was when I bought it. I would think it would now fail at a lower temperature since there is now less exposure to airflow to cool it. I appreciate your feedback, and thanks for watching.
My power switch broke off. Simple as that. Searched ServiceNet for a new one to no avail. What can I do for a hack/replacement? Doesn’t seem tough but I don’t want to injure the female parts by using force to turn it on.

I haven't seen any. Were you able to get it back together? I don't think they want you trying to fix it. They want you to buy a new one. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hello. I have the exact same jump starter model as you do and I need to change the fuse too. Can you provide the phone number of the man who sold you the thermal fuse? I am looking for anyone who has a fuse that I can purchase. Thank you in advance!
Sorry I tried contacting him again and he has moved and I cannot get ahold of him. I am trying to find the fuses and where to get them as well to help you guys. I have not had much luck finding them.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I haven't had luck in nailing one down either. Any idea what you would search to get better results? I tried Thermal Fuse, and nothing popped up.
Glad you enjoyed it. Too many people just toss things out when they stop working. You can teach yourself a lot by seeing if things can be fixed. Not to mention saving money to by new tools or spend on your wife.

Thanks for the great comment and subscribing! Still trying to find more of those fuses. Alot of viewers have same issue I did. Any ideas where to get the fuses?.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 try mouser electronics
Well done! Excellent video!
I actually found one of these in the trash about a month ago but it’ll only recharge to about 10.5 v. dead cell. Just wanted to see what the inside looked like before I ripped it apart. Great video by the way.
Good find. Thanks for the comment. You can get a battery relatively cheap. If that's all it needs, your in good shape. Let me know how it works for you.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 How much does a battery cost for that 4-in-1 cat charger?
Is it possible to replace the lead battery with a lithium battery?
no it is not possible
Very clear and well done, I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks
Thanks. It doesn't cost anything to open it up and take a look. Let me know how it works for you.
Good informations. That’s my mentality take everything apart when things don’t work and try to bring it back to life, with some comment send throw in there. Some time I wind some I loose. Love the video and the information.
I'm the same way. You can learn a lot by taking stuff apart and trying to figure out why it doesn't work. Doesn't cost you anything but time. That and it's possible to save a lot of money.
Oare se poate incarca bateria prin cablurile jumper?
I'm not sure, I will definitely try and see. Thanks for watching.
Good video. Thank you from Philly
You're welcome. Thanks for watching,commenting, and the great feedback.
I read in the manual that you aren’t supposed to hook up both leads to the battery, only the positive. Negative to unpainted metal on engine. Maybe that’s why the fuse blew
Yes this could have been one of the reasons, but I did not get much information from the person that gave it to me. Thanks for your comment.
I crossed my cables on mine by accident i want to try n fix , i noticed u put a different fuse type then original , can you share type of fuse??
I have the same type of jump box I bought 1 and it stoped working and bought another one stop and it stoped working but it still shows light when I put it on the charger. Am going to take it apart and see if I can fix it because these things are not cheap I can’t afford to keep buying these every second
The one I was recently handed only goes to 8.2 volts if charging with 120ac. I connected a 12vdc 100 mah adapter that shows nearly 20 vdc as ouput. It raised it to 9.3 within 5 mins but that's as high as it got before I disconnected it.
Great video. Thank you for posting
I'm curious to see if you got a part number off the new fuse you bought?
I never did find a new one. The one I got was from a used appliance/repair shop. If I ever find a place to get them, I'll be sure to make a video. Thanks for watching.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 good video. I'm going to pull my battery and run my reconditioner on it a week or so and see if that will make it charge up. I've had very good results with it. I had several batteries that hadn't been used or charged in nearly a decade and it brought them back to life. Two are in my boat now. Boats are hell on batteries too
How possible is to find the fuse?
Do you have the fuce part number?
Am I the only one who noticed the clean joke at the end??? "Im up $195 dollars, thats easily a nice dinner out with the wife, or some new tools, hmm what to do what to do..?" *pulls out the tool catalog* hahahahahaha PRIME!! love it
Glad you found it funny. Thanks for watching all the way to the end.
I love a good ol dad joke! thanks for the video. Managed to fix mine up to start taking charge again. However the battery is shot so it drains overnight@@shanersmechaniclife3164
He also said that at the beginning listen closely here 0:58
I have the same one mine turns on but doesn’t charge although it says it’s charging any tips? Thanks
Have you been able to fix your boost pack?I would check the battery and wiring . Possibly the charger is working but the battery isn't accepting a charge. Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I have not do you have a tutorial on how to do so?
I have this model. I charged it before with an orange cord in the garage, but now the starter won’t recognize my cord, but if I use an adapter charger (plugged into the wall), it will charge, just not fully. Can you recommend what I should do? Get a different cord (though there’s no problem with it)?
I have seen some chargers be picky with extension cords. Try a heavy guage chord that is as short as possible. Let me know how it works for you. Thanks for watching.
So I have a crazy question. Would it be possible to get the electronic repair contuctive copper tape that size and place it on there to repair it? I dont know alot about electronics but it kind of looks like it would work maybe.
If you did, you would have to make sure it's the same rating to protect the circuitry. Good idea. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Only if you are careful and know what you are doing. You can actually bring these sealed lead acid batteries back to life. Look closely at the top, pry off the lid. Then remove the rubber stoppers over each cell. If they are low, top them off with DEIONIZED WATER, not tap water or filtered water. If they are dry you can buy battery acid at a battery store. Batteries plus probably sells it. Fill it almost up but not all the way. Leave caps off and charge the battery with a high amperage charger. Once you get it to hold a charge its best to charge it with a charger that does the desulfate process to clean corrosion off the lead plates inside. I've brought back batteries that were dry for years. There is a possibility that a cell could be dead or broken inside but it's not very common. UA-cam has tons of videos on repairing dead batteries. Good luck. Hope this helps save some batteries from our landfills and saves some of you some money.
@@JasonSmith-utube Thank you for your teachings. I have the same problem with the battery. Do you recommend battery acid or a special water that they sell?
Does anyone know a good place to get these parts online?
I have not found a place that sells parts. I lucked out getting mine at an appliance repair shop. If you hear of a place, let me know.
HELLO THANKS FROM THE VIDEO I HAVE A CAT CHARGER AND IT TURNS ON BY ITSELF, THE USB TURNS ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, AC POWER DOES NOT WORK, EVERYTHING ELSE DOES WORK, CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE? On
Sounds like the main power switch could have an issue. I'd check all the connections. Hope this helps. Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I think I lost my money. I don't have the receipt to exchange it. I thought that because it was a cat charger it was good, but I've seen that everyone has had problems with that device.
Hello there sir, thank you for your videos, I have a costco cat cj1000dxt works great with the exception of the 200w female inverter this is the second unit from costco with the same issue.I was wondering if you had any ideas as to why these unit have the same issues with not working when ac power is activated? or what to look for. thanks again
I would check all the connections and make sure the battery is charging fully. Does it hold a charge? Let me know what you find, I'm curious. Thanks for watching.
🔴I have a Dewalt 1600amp jump starter, air compressor power station (dxaeps14). On my third time using the air compressor its not working. I would set the psi and press ‘air’ button for it to start, I would hear a long beep that last for about 4 seconds then the number 159.2 displayed on the screen but the compressor never turns on. i took it apart and connect the compressor directly to the battery and it works, so i know its not the compressor. what is your suggestion
Did you find out what was wrong? Is it still under warranty? 159.2 could be a trouble code.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 Mine is the 1400 amp version. The LCD screen reads 152.6 on mine when you press "air". I checked the thermal fuse, it us good. I tried depleting the battery then recharging it, to no avail.
I looked on DeWalt's website and couldn't even find the unit. They have probably discontinued this problematic unit.
If anyone knows what the trouble codes represent, that would be cool. Otherwise, I have no choice but to do a switch-a-roo by buying another one, swapping it, and returning the broke one.
I had the same booster pack. Stopped working and wouldn’t hold a charge. I took it to a battery place and they told me it wasn’t worth fixing it so I left it with them to “recycle” it. Now I wonder if the guy just took it home and fixed it.🤦🏻♂️
How long can you run a air compressor safely on these
Good question. The manual says 10 minutes and let cool down for 30 minutes. If you run it longer you run the risk of overheating it which can damage or ruin the compressor or blow a fuse in it which I can not find replacements for. Hope you found this helpful. Thanks for watching.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 thankr you
I started charging mine 3 days ago and it still hasn't fully charged, now it went from 3 bars down to 2, any idea what's wrong with it?
Have you tried using a heavier guage extension cord that is as short as possible? Some chargers are picky that way. Let me know how it works out for you. Thanks for watching.
I'm sure you junked the thing by now, and I understand. I've experienced this. Pull out the main battery and pop the tops. Add DISTILLED WATER or electrolyte and charge it with a regular charger and check it with a multimeter. If it's above 13v, put it back together and give it another try.
My starts beeping when i turned it on. The screen is blank..any idea?
NICE, MINE IS LIKE THAT ONE, IM GONNA FIX IT,, THANKS.
Were you able to fix yours? What was the problem?
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 HI, YES, I HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY, ELSE WAS OK, WORKS FINE NOW.
Where I can buy the fuse thank for you help
Your welcome but unfortunately I haven't been able to track them down since the guy I got mine from moved. When I find a place that sells them I will be sure to let everyone know. Thanks for watching.
Where can I take mine to get repaired? 🤔 I think it just needs a new battery. It turns on when I have it plugged in, but when I unplug it, it will not turn on.
I have the same charger mone got wet and i dried it out and started working but after charging fully the battery drains itself while not using and lights on front shut off when it drops to 12.8 volts where do i start
I would probably open it up, disconnect the battery and make sure everything is 100% dry. Moisture on circuit boards and in switches can conduct electricity and cause the battery to drain. Hope this helps. Let me know what you find.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 I don't understand why this device comes with many problems, I lost My money, I lost the receipt. I have to work like 10 hours to get the money back.cat,and Cosco They sell junk
Can you do a full tear down also I opened mine and it smelled like burn I check the fuse and it worked I checked the bordes and no burn marks or arking marks? Any other tips??? I also checked the battery and it had volts. Any tips
Which functions aren't working with yours? Might want to try getting the battery load tested. Sometimes they show full voltage but fail once they are put under a load. A full tear down video is a good idea. If you find the issue let me know.
I have a different model Dewalt. Do you think I can charge it through the cable connectors that are normally use to jump start? Every thing works except , it will not charge. The charger on mine is separate and it is putting out 12.6 + volts.
You could charge it by leaving it hooked up to a running vehicle. Like in his video when he jumped the Honda it read over 14 volts. That means it’s picking up the voltage coming from the alternator and charging the jump pack.
What is the temperature rating of the thermal fuse?
Great job
Thanks for the great feedback and for watching.
Una pregunta tengo un arrancador. Igual ahece si ensiende un carro también se puede conectar un sólo amplificador de carro en ese arrancador y tener sonido en casas

You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I plug my tire up.. i believe I put a little to much air in my tire.. once I took off the tire I couldn’t cut off the air compressor… it was just running and running until i started to smell something like burnt.. It stayed running all night it finally cut off around 5 in the morning.. Do I still have hope?? Please I need help this box was about 300 bucks
Hard to say without looking at it. If it ran that long the compressor may have burnt out, but what caused it to stay running? Might end up costing more to repair than a new one would be to buy.
@@Ken-hm3rm That cat charger is crap. Everyone has had problems with it. I'm not wasting my time anymore. I'm going to throw it away. I lost the receipt.
@@Ken-hm3rm If you HAVE The received friend runs to exchange it
I’m looking to get something like this to keep in the car. Do you recommend one? If parts for this are hard to come by I would rather not have to buy more then one if it craps out. Thanks.
Your videos are top notch!
Thank you!
Glad you like them! I appreciate the great feedback. What kind of videos do you like best?
I have the exact boost pack. No functions at all except when I have it plugged in to the 110v outlet. The battery reads 13.9 volts. The thermo fuse is good. I'm stumped.
What does the battery read when it's not plugged in? With some of those batteries if the battery is run too far down, it won't accept a charge. Might explain why it only works when it's plugged in. Let me know what you find. Hopefully it works out for you.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 Fully charged. Checked it with my volt meter. When I turn it to on I get voltage to the leads. Another words it will jump a car off. Weird nothings else works unless its plugged in. No LED display unless plugged in.
@shanersmechaniclife3164 it reads 13.2 volts. It Jumpstarted my employees car. And his battery was dead dead. It works as far as jumping off a car. The LED and air pump, the utility light, USB do not work unless it's plugged in. I tool it apart and looked for anything burnt nothing no smell of something burnt. Checked all the wires for breaks, melting and bad soldered connections and nothing. Driving me crazy. I'm like you I take stuff apart before I toss it.
Mine is working, but I am not getting any air . What happened?
Did you get your compressor fixed? If so what was the problem? Compressor could be worn out or an internal leak. Do you hear it running?
I don’t get it fixed yet, but I discover there’s a small engine that runs for it is broken not really, but there’s something that goes up and down. Keep jumping working whenever I put it back together it comes off I was trying to see if I can find parts but it’s very difficult.
For a price like that is totally unfair
Great detailed video. The instructions
DEWALT DXAEJ14 say there is a 2-amp fuse. This looks to be a thermal fuse. Is that the correct name of what you replaced on this project?
I looked it up and to me it sounds like that fuse is in the 12volt charger plug in. The one I replaced is inside the body and is a thermal fuse. The guy I got mine off of used, has moved. I'm still trying to find more. When or if I do, I will be sure to post where.
Any guesses on what’s up with my compressor? Has worked fine but now the pump won’t increase the pressure in the tire. Does’t sound the same as when it was working.
Sounds like the compressor may have a leak or, even worse, it could be worn out. Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching.
HILTI 9160 is what i have, i had it in car overnight to power dash cam for overnight security, well it flattened the internal battery and now it wont charge, this was brand new. has not ben used to start anything! How do i trick it into charging?
Pull the battery out of it, manually charge it. Be sure to check the fluid levels of the battery. If low, add DISTILLED WATER or electrolyte and charge it. If it holds about a 13v charge, it should be salvageable. Put it back together and give it a try.
My dewalt 1400 deflates your tires. Can that be fixed?
Is the air leaking out the fitting that hooks on to the tire? Or is it coming from inside the jump pack?
Is it normal that it takes 4 days charging? It usually takes like 2 or 3 days for fully charged after using the air compressor, but is been like 4 days now and still "charging".
That doesn't sound right. I wonder if your internal battery is failing? Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching.
@@juanky19 My advice if you have the receipt is to run and change that junk, the same thing happened to me, it never finished loading
Good job man!!!
Thanks. I enjoy taking stuff apart when it doesn't work. Find out how it works and why it doesn't work .
cant you just charge it from the cables?
Good question, I have never tried that. I will give it a try and find out. Thank you.
Nah u can't
It will charge from the cables if you leave it hooked up to a running vehicle
I too, need this part and can’t find anything
I tried going back to where I got mine. Hes not there anymore. I'll keep looking. If I find something I'll post an update video.
Great video . Does the fuse have a number so i can find one on the Internet. Or whats the official name .
I have a cat powerpak that sat around for while. ran down . will see if it will work. charge it . 1000 amp.
Thank You❗
You are welcome. Thanks for the comment and watching!
Is it the end of the world if the fuse is bypassed
I wouldn't recommend it because then the wiring acts as the fuse and if there's a problem it could go up in smoke.
An electrocution risk from 12 volt?? 🤔
No, not if you simply touch the negative cable or post with one hand and grasp the red or positive post with your other, therefore completing the circuit between the battery your hands through your heart and out your other hand. Because your body has to much resistance the 12v of pressure is not enough to push through your body. But grab a metal tool and place socket on positive post and let handle touch your car metal (same as touching the negative post). And a spark will fly, you will get burned if you are touching the place where the arc occurs. Simply holding the tool, no.
Just wanted to stress it's always a good idea to disconnect the battery on anything while working on it. May not cause physical damage but can cause damage to what you are working on.
they have to be charge up like anything else. a powerpak cord to plug it in.
I make sure to plug mine in at least every 3 to 4 weeks. Those small batteries don't like to get run down or completely discharged.
That was cool! Can you do a video on a Super Start Power Pack 1000 peak #55002.
I am a first time subscriber.
I am a women that like to learn how to do things.
Yes, it is nice if a man can help however, my honey passed. So I am learning what is wrong with my power pack
Note: when I plug the Super Start Power Pack up the Maintenance light comes on it is Amber in color. When it is unplugged the Super Starter Power Pack battery Status light doesn’t come on.
I have the system in the Off setting as that is what I understood the instructions to indicate.
I will try keeping the unit plugged in over night in hopes it will work.
I am praying it will work.
I forgot to charge the unit up once every month 😮
Were you able to get your power pack going? Sorry to hear about your loss. I don't have that particular power pack. If I get my hands on one I will do a teardown and review. Thanks for subscribing and watching. What kinds of videos do you think youtube needs more of?
I wish you would of plugged in in first. I got one that only works when it's plugged in.
That’s how mine was. I tested the fuse he replaced with a continuity check before and after the fuse and my fuse was bad, but the box seems functional when plugged into a wall.
Probably should not heat shrink wrap a thermal fuse...
Good point. That was the way it was when I bought it. I would think it would now fail at a lower temperature since there is now less exposure to airflow to cool it. I appreciate your feedback, and thanks for watching.
@@shanersmechaniclife3164 Cheers mate
Informative and funny
My power switch broke off. Simple as that. Searched ServiceNet for a new one to no avail.
What can I do for a hack/replacement? Doesn’t seem tough but I don’t want to injure the female parts by using force to turn it on.
The internal fuse on the charge circuit fails and the battery dies. Easy fix.
Mine doesn't charge . Never did in the first place
Should be covered under warranty?
