YOU Sir, were taught well! If people would just take the time to open things up and investigate minor issues with products. During assembly, there are so many area's where the assembler may have had a bad day and not quite tightened something or a soldier joint may have come undone! No one's perfect and things happen. But before you throw it in your truck running back to the store, it's EASY just to open the product and do a simple check on things like you did! You are a REAL MAN! These new Gen X Soy Boy's wet their pants, then post for three hours on social media about their newest widget quit working and they have to return it! Good on you!! Thanks for your review, I just bought this same one as a backup to keep my 12 volt mini cooler/fridge for my daughters insulin storage in case of power outage! Great review! Like YOU, I fixed things for 40 years as an Aircraft inspector, mechanic, electrician, avionics, hydraulics, and pneumatics repair! Now ALWAYS make sure you do not have live voltage "110 volt A/C" connected! But common sense should prevail, if not, tuff luck! MOST Men now days are such pansy's Ha! Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Haha Thanks Jon! The weakness of modern day "guys" irritates me too. I think some times I do harder work before noon then they will do their entire lives. Which make me not feel so bad when I charge them 💰💰💰 for what is simple to me but impossible for them to comprehend. 🤣. Thanks for watching and thanks for the compliments brother 🍻🇺🇸
During hurricane Nicole and Hurricane Ian I used this power station to power our living room lights for my wife and kids while I was setting up our generator and power cord to back feed the house.
Im also a diabetic. Type 1
Bought mine from someone who was frustrated that it wouldn't charge. It was a new unit - never used. Paid $15. Opened it up, and sure enough, a wire to the plug terminal was off. Likely not properly soldered during manufacture. Soldered it, put back together, plugged it in and the blank screen came to life!
Like motorcycle battery awesome vid husband just bought one got it at discount because air compressor not working so ima fix that thx for info.
The air compressor on this one also stopped working and the issue was that the little air compressor piston crank shaft was spining in the plastic gear. I fixed it with some JB weld and its been working great ever since. Thanks for watching
At Mechanical Wind. I’m torn between this model and the air inflator that takes 18/20 tool battery. Really just need it for flats but it this this works I could try. UA-cam reviews been hit & miss with this product
Times like this a wish a lived in America this looks awesome but don’t get in the uk and the price for ship is more than the unit
Was he complaining? I think when you purchase something it should work. Taking the screws out takes time also.
How do i turn it off
Wait, you were upset by dumb things written by strangers? Nah I get road rage sitting in the house. Thanks for the video.
I should be used to the stupidity by now. 😆 Thanks for watching! 🍻
He said if your going to cry to just gtfo 😂
@@geminisrojo5449 I forgot that I said that 😂
The company I work for recently gifted us one of these. It worked perfectly fine the first time I used it. The second time I used it, the screen went blank. Now Im unable to tell what Im doing. lol
I was just shooting a video yesterday were I wanted to test how fast this could inflate a tire. It failed! 🤣. Im making a video taking it apart.
I bought just the compressor and like you said went blank and doesn't work after 7 months
🔴 I recently purchased the same power station (dxaeps14). The first time I used the air compressor after connecting the valve to my tire and pressing the air button the display showed the current tire psi and it worked fine. The second time I used it 3 days later it no longer displays the current psi. After connecting the valve to the tire and pressing the air button, I can still select the desired psi and the compressor will start but the current psi will display 0.0 for the duration. Have you had this problem
I do remember mine doing that same thing. It was right before the compressor stopped working at all. It ended up being a loose and oxidized connection on the compressor. Since yours is so new Id take it back and exchange it. The store will have no issue with that. I took mine apart and fixed the connection. No issues since. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Let us know what happens.
@@Mechanical_Mind how did you get the oxidization off the connector
@@doublemanson I just used pliers to close the female connector a little tighter. That way it makes a tighter connection. Spray some wd40 on the connections to keep them clean. Its safe for electrical connections.
I have a similar problem with my compressor. Did yours read 151.7 psi when it didn't work
Why did you use a alternative pump?
When it comes with on board compressor?
Hi James, when filling up a pool like in the video or something like a air mattress etc its better to use a high pump that move a high volume of air but these pumps do not build high pressure. The air compressor like the one built into the power station is for inflating tires etc. It will build high pressure but the volume of air it moves over time is much slower. Tires or basket ball etc do not have a large area but they require high pressure. It would take many many hours longer to try to inflate a air mattress or pool with the built in air compressor. And the high volume air pumps that come with air mattress would never be able to inflate a tires because those dont compress air much they just move air fast.
How do you shut it off. My lcd screen. Won’t shut off
I usally hit the light or ac power button twice to turn off the screen
Can a 12v ac adapter be ok to charge this power station even though it say it takes 14.5v.And will a 16v ac adapter be ok to charge it ?
Awesome ! No room for cry babies!!!!
I completely forgot about saying that 🤣
i've got the cat version and it's been great, i don't think it has teh 120 outlets though
The 120 outlets have come in handy. Last hurricane we had I used to power lights in the house.while I got the generator hooked up. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
You got the cat version but don't think it has 120V outlets ?? How is this possible ?? LOOK AT IT
I have a car but i dont think it has doors ...
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam Itś put away and i havn used it in a while you moron. also i didn buy it, it came with a car i bought. why would you even reply.. get a life

Read the manual ???
Read the manual?? Thats no fun😆. At the time I was 99.9% sure of why it shut down.. Over heating. But when I saw your comment I did open the manual to see if I was correct. Pg 20 under Protective Features' It says that alarm icon ( which is used for other alarm notifications).
Thermal Shutdown protection: The unit will automatically shut down when the unit becomes overheated. Pg 21. Should this fault occur, disconnect appliance from unit. Push the ac power button to turn the ac power outlets off. Allow the unit to cool down for several minutes. Make sure the unit does not need to be recharged. Make sure the appliance to be plugged is rated at 500 watts or lower. Assure there is adequate ventilation around the unit before proceeding.
@@Mechanical_Mind 👍
Thanks for the tips it won't start my car just beeps
Try clamping the ground to a good clean spot on the frame or engine.
I wonder if your car battery is drained down too much for the Powerstation to crank it over. Let us know what happens
I have the same same one, I lost the charger, I bought one separately, I mean the plug fits the connector, BUT, even if I leave it charging for long time for few hours, it ll only go to 2-3 bars and never fully charge, so you think the charger my be te problem.?
Hi Santiago, I noticed many other people saying the same thing and mine started doing that also after it was a few months old. I think its okay because these units have a simple 12v battery in them. Like a small verison of what in a car. They are technically fully charged if they have 12.4 volts. Most 12v batteries will not hold much higher than 12.6 for very long. New batteries until they get some age on them. My theory is that the gauge on the unit only shows the 4th bar if the battery is above 12.6 or so. If your battery isnt holding over 12 volts for a week or so Id bet the battery itself is old / going bad.
@@Mechanical_Mind you think that’s something I can get fix.? My unit is literally NEW. Bough it like lil over a year ago never got to use it but lost the charger so now that I bough the charger is doing this
@@santiagodavila1426 Id call DeWalt and expalin the situation. They may let you go exchange it for a new one. Your battery has probably just been sitting too long. I wouldn't expect the battery to last more than 4 or 5 years.
how often you have too charge it ?
It holds a charge for a couple of months.
I bought one and charged it fully before first use then set it in my garage didn't use it for about three months, went to use it and it died after about 15 minutes of use. went to charge it again and it would only show two bars after a week plugged in. call DE WALT SERVICE THEY SAID THEY COULDNT HELP ME BECAUSE I DIDNT CHARGE IT EVERY 30 DAYS EVEN WITHOUT USEING IT LIKE THE MANUAL SAID.
