Thanks for taking the time to make this video. 8) super helpful.
Thanks for the review. I just bought one for a road trip.
Answered all my questions
Thanks for the vid. New subscriber.
Thanks for subscribing man! That power station is awesome. You'll love it
I’ve seen some horrible reviews but also I’ve seen some people have massively damage it by going over the limit. I really hope this works because it was a pretty penny for what I’ve got.
I was going to buy a new regular jump box but when I saw DeWalt had this with its built in air compressor I bought it instead. Ive had great luck with DeWalt power tools vs all any other brands. Afterwards I saw some bad reviews that had me concerned. So far Ive had no issues. Ive used the air compressor many times and its faster than I expected. Having some emergency / quite /portable ac power is also nice.
@@Mechanical_Mind now I’ve seen the smaller one dewalt made and it’s not good at all and also many other non name brands been abused, I kinda knew this one be alright if taken care of, because it’s been selling off the shelves, so far I’ve been very cautious and used to pump tires and it works well, I haven’t powered any corded items and the reviews are super confusing because some say highly recommend and others say they’ve trashed it and made it explode. Honestly it was a risking jump but it was the only one would’ve been decent. When I first got it, the rubber writings did rub off so I have to somewhat guess on it but it still functions alright. My old one that was a Walmart one work well but the prongs got broken off so it was basically garbage. 200$ is not something you go out and spend without thinking but it was a gift so I hope this will last with last resort uses only, hopefully when it’s used, it’ll do it’s job and may get you home warm and alive during the winter.
@@Mechanical_Mind I also want to add, thank you for the review because all I see is scams and people over driving it and blowing it up.
@@cashisgreen6383 one thing about reviews is that you will get more bad reviews vs good on product. If someone has a problem they will instantly think to go leave a bad review. If a product works great people dont think often to go leave a good review. Thanks for watching and commenting. I do these videos for fun and maybe they will help people out. 🍻
I'm thinking of getting this jumpstarter/ power station to replace an old Schumacher that's gone out on me. I've used the Schumacher once when my power went out and I needed to get my garage door open to leave for work. I know there's different factors for each garage door and all that, but I was wondering if this would open your garage door as an alternative to using the emergency release.
Im sure it would work it a few times
How can you fix the ac I connected a small fan and it didn’t even work at all it just showed a triangle with an ! Mark inside I can’t even charger my phone or even jump a car plz help
Hello can you run a power speaker let's say a 12 inch powers peaked 2000 watts
Hi great video showing the power potential of the unit. My question is was that the 1400 or 1600 peak unit?
Its the 1600 unit. Thanks for watching!
Mine has barely been used and it’s already failed. I’ve successfully used it to jump start my car twice in the past but today when I tried to use it, it completely failed to jump my truck after multiple times.
How do you jumpstart a car with this thing. There’s no on off and when I hook it to my battery nothing lights up??
When you hook it up to a battery it should light up and tell you the current voltage that battery. If it does not do come on the battery might be bad. Try testing the battery with a battery tester. Harbor Freight sells a cheap battery tester that will tell you the the current CCA of the battery. If the battery has been sitting for a long time try trickle charging it.
I just bought one for ice fishing , camping couple days at most see how it does.
Let us know how it does
Ok no problem
I am looking to order a charger for this power station but the 1400, however the ones I find online have terrible reviews, im not sure really how to look it up, any recommendations?
I'll make a short video soon showing the charger cord.

How many WH do i get ?
🔴 is there a way i could reset mine. i have only had it for 2 months, only used the air compressor twice and it doesn't work any more (returning it is not an option). when i attempt to turn on the compressor i get a long beep and the number 159.2 shows on the display. i took it apart and connected the compressor directly to the battery and it came on so i know its not a mechanical issue.
Did u ever figure out your issue. Mine just started doing the same thing and I have only had it a week.
@@dmitriyl.8976 if you live in north America i would advise you to contact their customer service and return it to have it fixed. i do not live in America and the shipping cost would of been outrageous. i took it apart and used a 3 prong rocker switch and connected the air pump negative and positive wires directly to the battery and rocker switch (u can go on youtube to find the proper way to wire a 3 prong rocker switch) , i then put the switch on the outside and secured it to the device using E6000 glue. now the rocker switch turns my air pump on and off.
Hi I’ve misplaced the cord to charge my charger. Any tips? I don’t even know what it looks like.....
I'll make a video showing the charger cord.
ua-cam.com/video/xU8hjG5SIrU/v-deo.html
I ordered one on Amazon
* ordered the charger cord that is.
How do you charge it? I bought one, even DeWalt support doesn't know what to tell me.
It comes with a charger. It looks simliar to a laptop charger or phone charger. Just a cord that plugs into a round terminal in the back of the box. It takes several hours for it to recharge
Try to recharge it overnight with no results still dead
It likely has a simple 12 volt VRLA battery inside just like 95% of booster/power packs out there. The battery will likely be made in china, probably can be replaced with one from Amazon. Most low cost VRLA batteries in these units do-not do well when fully discharged (like any lead acid battery), they have low cycle life (500~ cycles) and really dont handle freezing well at all. Knowing this, it is easy to understand that the battery in this unit will need replacement from time to time, especially if you cycle it alot. I would be wary to plug any sensative electronics into one of these as it likely has a very cheap Modified Sine inverter in it (dirty power)...
Yes it is a 12v battery for sure. So far this one is still doing good. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🍻
Not a nice sine wave but it wouldn't put out voltage spikes would it? Could you trust it to power a laptop?
@@bhatkat i would be more inclined to say "yes it can power a laptop", but would i trust it... absolutly not...
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 ?
Basiclly its a small 12v battery inside of it so I know a 12v charger would be safe. I would NOT use a 16v charger.
Here is quick video I made about the charger for it. ua-cam.com/video/xU8hjG5SIrU/v-deo.html
Have you had any issues with getting a full charge on it?
No, it acts the same as other booster boxes Ive used. It may show a charge of 13v or higher after several hours on a charger. After removed from a charger for several days the battery will show about 12.6 or higher. Its normal and that is "fully" charged.
U
How do you shut it off?
Each button is an on/off button for its labled function.
@@Mechanical_Mind I think she means how to shut it off so it doesn't waste battery , I'm having the same issue I have no clue how to turn it off
How's it holding up?
The only major issue I've had with it is that the air compressor had stopped working. The little electric motor's shaft for the air compressor was spinning inside the center hole of a plastic gear. I applied JB weld to the gear hole and shaft. It's been working great ever since.
I'm sure the battery is weaker now and most likely will need to be replaced in a few years from now. It's just a small 12v battery inside. Nothing special
That doesn't work, I bought one and the battery died and it didn't work anymore, it didn't charge again.
So how many wh??
Im not sure about the WH
the compressor on mine died yhe first time I used it
Did you see my latest video on it? It finally died in me also. Well its "working" just not actually building pressure. Even though Ive pumped up several tires with it before its still disappointing that it has failed so early in its life. Im going to take it apart and see what the issue is
@@Mechanical_Mind I'd be willing to bet it's the piston rings. If not that it could be the compression fitting on the aluminum tube from the head. Either way, there are no parts available for repairs. Kinda upset about it Givin the cost of the unit.
@@richardried4197 For the time being Im just carrying the battery in my 4runner incase I need to boost myself off. Im going to take the compressor apart soon. I was afraid finding the parts would be difficult.
Just bought one of these; can't even power my Toaster? Wtf
The average toaster uses over 1000 watts.... Which is double what this is rated to do.
@@Mechanical_Mind,hola buenos días me gustaría q, lo explicaran en Español porfavor, gracias el modelo, DXAESP 14
