How do you turn it off?
@@lawrencecummings8703 It's a common problem with these it seems like. You can try plugging it in or just holding the power button down. It sometimes gets stuck on but usually it will eventually turn itself off. I have even seen some with random screens on at Costco as i was walking by the display.

Thank you. I was looking for power cord because I lost mine.
@@EveryDayJay415 my ac power out is always showing an era.. my 2nd one, same thing. How doe I fix this?
I paid $75 at a local Costco on Saturday.
I used to work security at State Farm’s corporate headquarters and we had two or three of these CAT units that we used to jump all the employees and contractors when their cars wouldn’t start. Very dependable and easy to use. Never once out of dozens of times using it did I ever have a problem.
Awesome it’s been tested out a few times by me with success, stay safe out there. Thanks for the comment, be sure to subscribe for more!
Any diesels
Absolute junk if you you in regularly. Battery will go dead sitting. Only get a few jumps out of it also. Not worth the money at all.

great video I bought one and haven't used it yet so very helpful to know what it can do and how to charge it.
Have found this fantastic for the last two weeks as we have encountered Arctic level temps including -40 so this has jumped my car multiple times in a row without charging in between! It has been a great bargain.
Awesome I’m glad it’s worked out for you! Thanks for the comment subscribe for more!!
Awesome I just bought one I figured it would be great but you saying you got multiple boosts without having to charge it in between that’s amazing And just like you because of the very cool temperatures Christmas day LOL I had to get a jumpstart so now this thing will be on demand and don’t have to depend on anybody you just confirmed how good it is 😀
I really like these units compared to those lithium power stations. The batteries on these units last for over 5+ years then its also replaceable. These units will last you for a very long time. Its also packed with features. Cant beat it.
Oh cool, do you just use SLA batteries?
I need car jump stert in ghana
Got two of those cats both complete junk

How long would this run an 8Amp fan? How long to recharge after it’s been depleted? 40 hours in instructions seems crazy
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 use this on my Airstream. It can inflate to 80 psi but it doesn't seem to auto shutoff. Not sure if I just don't wait long enough or what. I usually manually shut it off when it reaches 80. It's also supposed to shut off after 10 minutes of use so I would return yours for the Costco refund.
Another thing regarding the compressor a good suggestion is to jack up your car truck a little bit if the tires right flat to take the strain off the unit it will work well to get your tire pumped
That's a good idea! sadly I don't have a Jack big enough for my RV lol.

Thanks for the informative video,I saw at Costco today and I am going to buy it. How long does it take to charge the battery?
40hrs or until charged.mines haven't charged up yet.120 hrs and still waiting
Good demo. I bought one from Costco couple of years ago. Everything works but the inflator is a disappointment. Doesn't inflate my Ford Explorer. Shuts off after a fewe minutes. Had to buy a stand-alone inflator to complete my rescue gear.
Yeah I had the same issue. Most small built in inflators are worthless for larger tires.
A good suggestion in that case is jack up the one flat tire so it doesn’t over strain the unit and it should work well And only run it five minutes at a time let it cool continue on
Instructions state that the inflator will only run for 10 minutes at a time, and you need to wait 30 minutes for it to cool down before using the inflator again.
be nice to have it used on a flat car battery......of course
I don’t know if I got a defective one but mine is garbage. Dead battery after one jump.
Good thing about it if it doesn’t work just take it back to Costco.
Yep, Costco is the best!
It doesn't work.
Our car was having issues holding a charge. This was a life saver until we could get it in to have the battery replaced
I have to say this is a total thrush .
Used a couple times an the battery is not getting any charge no more.
Total waste
Sorry to hear about that. Did you charge it over night?
Concur. I wish I would have listened to the reviews on Costco.com.
Mine stopped the ability to Jump start my vehicle.. it does right away even after charging it for 24hours
😢How do you turn off the blue light? It stayed on and I can't turn it off.
You can't say that this unit won't inflate your RV tires. You've never tried it. You can't assume that the performance of this unit is going to be the same as that tiny little thing you tried to use previously. It's an entirely different unit. And, as you said.....it's rated to 120 psi.......so....it should have NO problem inflating your tires to 80 psi.
But don't say something doesn't work, if you haven't tried it......that's not a fair review.
Mine doesnt turn off
You don't put plus with plus and negative with negativ when you jump ! You screw your battery !.. the plus you put an plus but the negative you put an the ground of the engine otherwise you have a chance to blow up your battery when you Jumpstart !
I bought one the inverter only worked for about a half second tops and would not work again. I did charge the battery for 40 hours first like the directions say. All this is is more junk from China. The battery is lead acid you don't want to lug around lead when Lithium works 100 times better for one tenth the weight.
Just my two cents. I topped off my four truck tires 60psi and my four trailer tires at 80psi. Added about 3-5psi each all on less than a quarter charge.
Excellent for jump starting. good for charging phones. had (2) for under a year. First one lasted about 9 months before charged would only hold for a few hours. In addition the air compressor took almost 18min from 0 - 35psi. Traded it in at Costco, and then used it on overland trip - and it worked well and held a charge. BUT... the air compressor gave out after a few uses on deflating and inflating tires to 45psi from 15psi. Good overall, but if you're actually going to use it on a continuous basis or put it through rugged use you may want to look around for something more robust - at least in the air compressor version.
Where does the extension cord get stored in the CAT Jump Starter?
Extension cord as in #15 noted on back of box.
Not good battery wouldn’t charge after a few cold days…
Hi, we just got this one and excited to it to our first camping trip. We plan to inflate the air bed and run a window fan on it. How long would the battery run the fan after we have inflated the bed?
What you think bout it? Thinking bout getting one
Awesome! it should be about to inflate quite a few mattresses fit you use those smaller pumps. so if you only inflate one I would guess you can still get a solid 8-12 hours of fan power if its a smaller one.

I bought a total of 3 of these @ Costco, returned all 3 due to the compressor failing after just a few bicycle tires. I won't buy another one ! !
Dang! I had issues with compressor too. What were you airing up? Thanks for the comment subscribe for more it really helps me out!!
It worked on my tires
Oh.. I just bought it@costco , model is cu1000dxtuk, pumped 8 tyres today without issues…
Using for 4 years running just fine glad I have one rly boosted a few cars and the kids bikes and balls. Same model as in video dono for the other models have not used them
@@Jay-xv1jdhad to get mine and switch out cars. I only used it for a lamp to change a tire. Long story!
Never tried out the jump or tires.
Yikes...
Was looking to find its charging cord.
how to turn it off?
i cant turn off mine since yesterday LMAO
Did they forget a compartment to store the ac power cord?
Gone through 4 of these and they all won't charge after one run. No idea but I don't recommend them.
I'm trying to charge one day and it doesn't charge, it's still the same
Ok good day I bought one bout it not holding charge
The inverter on mine never works any advice?
the air compressor breaks so fast on these things
I have the same inverter its like new i only used it a few times im trying to charge the batter but the battery charge indicator is just flashing and blinking. I now got a trickle charger im trying to charge it by connecting to jumper cables but the charging level still blank and battery is just flashing. Have u ran into thid issue? Possibly bad internal battery ?
I haven’t personally ran into anything like that. I will say there might be electronics that stop the battery from RECEIVING energy from the posts which is why it’s not charging. If you’re not able to return or do a warranty service I would try and charge the battery directly. I’m sure it’s just a standard size SLA 12v. I believe it’s capacity’s 9ah so finding a replacement shouldn’t be hard if you go that route. Thanks for the view!
@True Vision I connected the leads to a trickle charger for a day and it actually started holding charge again the low battery indicator went away it only returns when battery is low after multiple uses
Can this be used to charge a battety?
I can’t figure out how to turn this damn thing off
How do we turn it off? Mine js running the battwry not sure how to turn it off
Good question, does anyone know how to turn it off?
El mío esta loco dela nada se prende hace un silbido cada hora
You motivated me to buy one. We go camping a lot with our travel trailer and I think this would be a great accessory to have thanks.

A year on, how has it been?
Mine just stopped working. We had it for a couple of year and kept it charged. I tried to use the "AC" to use a small fan. There was a quick turn of the blades then nothing! I took out the battery and checked it with a tester and it was good. I looked at the circuit boards and did not find anything burned or shorted out. I put it back together, and nothing but a loud beep every few seconds.
Hmm, I wonder if there is a fuse somewhere of a faulty part that can be replaced.

So far I have not had any luck with this thing, got a Chrysler 200 2014 and cold Nebraska winter twice I've needed to use it first time didn't work for like 10 minutes and then just decided to work second time still hasn't started
Make sure it’s fully charged and it set to jump start. Thanks for the comment subscribe for more!
Bought this using instacart right after I watched your video thanks !
Hopefully this will charge my car so I can take it to my mechanic..
good to hear, how did it work out for you?!
Thanks for the comment be sure to subscribe for more and use my links it really helps me out!!
does it charge the car battery? or only jump start?
How long will it stay charged if you use the outlet for your cpap? I was thinking it would be a great way to bring the cpap our camping and have the unit to plug into for the evenings.
It really depends on the power draw of your machine. This is a fairly large battery though.
Can charge to battery or not
Per the manual - Keep in mind that this inverter will not operate high wattage appliances or equipment that produce heat, such as hair dryers, microwave ovens and toasters. • Do not use this inverter with medical devices. It is not tested for medical applications.
Where to get replacement power cord?
How do you turn the thing off?
how many times have u used it?I bet you have no idea what your talking about, and if it wasn't for the instructions u have no video.which you probably do with all those shiny new tools you have everywhere.
Quite a few times actually. I'm good at learning items limitations and benefits in a very short period of time. That said im not perfect but do my best.

the stupidest review, why are you showing how the fan works? It would be interesting how this device inflates the wheels, is it really as powerful as it helps to start the car. Dude, do something else, video reviews are not yours
100k views say otherwise.

Cat has a new more powerful one
Since I never know when I will need to inflate my car tires or jumpstart my car battery, how practical is it to leave this in your car all the time (trunk) especially when weather is hot or cold? Also, is it reliable even if not in use for long time periods? thx
I own one and love it inwoukd recomend putting an inverter in the car for elongated storage or having a plug like alot of trucks have you can leave it plugged
@@evanbrunelle3466 Thanks. My concern is storing in the car on hot or cold days.
@@kle2217 if i know ill need it ill usually take it out ofnthe car and keep it charging on a cord at work
I think it will be find but i would take it out every week or 2 and give it a charge. The type of battery they use (SLA) are fairly durable but nothing is perfect especially in the extremes.

This thing cant even start my dodge stealth, probably dosent help that its -30c
Yep I’m sure that had a thing or 2 to do with it! It’s a powerful unit but cold really effects batteries. Thanks for the comment subscribe for more!

How do I turn it Off?
How do I turn it off 😑
Hi.
Can i connect a surge protector to it and connect my small 21 inch tv with an xbox game console for about 10 minutes ?
Its because i flip video game stuff and want to use this jump starter so that i can use my tv to Test game consoles on the road before i buy them so that i dont end up buying junk consoles that dont work due to sellers claiming they work when in fact they dont.
Thanks.
ANYBODY Knowledgable please reply soon.
It depends on the power draw of the console and tv but in going to say no. It will most likely power the tv but the console will draw too much juice. You can’t check on the back of the appliances how much power they use if they both combined are under 200W it should work but if they are over 200W combined it will be too much.

@@EveryDayJay415 thank you
How do you turn it off
It’s very bad quality, I returned 3 of them. 2 of them pump belt came off 3rd usb stop working. Also if you leave the AC power on it will drain overnight without any use.
That sucks. Seems like the dewalt one has a couple problems too. You know of one that is solid all around?
Dang, luck of the draw I guess. Thanks for the comment, be sure to subscribe for more!
They are all fairly similar as long as they aren’t knock offs, this one has more features then most tho. Thanks for the comment, be sure to subscribe for more!
Don’t work AC
Can it charge a laptop?
Yeah most laptops will charge with 0 issue. Some can even be charged right from the USB ports.
But where do you put the charging cable when the station doesn’t need charging? Is there a compartment or location on the station itself?
Not that I know of, I’ve seen people wrap it around the handle or jumper itself, I just keep mine in a storage tote with other cords
@@EveryDayJay415 greatly appreciate your response! I noticed small flanges or "hooks" on the backside, but don't know if they have a functionality. I always have a hard time keeping track of cords. But it seems like any extension cable would work in the event the one it came from went missing, right?
How much is it?
Thsnks...🙋🙋🙋🙋
Maybe if you jacked the rv up to get the tire off the ground then it would pump it up easier with less pressure on the tire
It may work great but I wouldn't know because it's so un user friendly I can't use it
My only issue is that sometimes when I know it is charged it will show an empty battery then I plug it on wall and right away it shows a full battery.
Mine did this too after 1 jump. Dead battery. No features worked. Had to recharge for the features to re enable. Returned to Costco. Not pleased with this model at all.
They can be a little buggy sometimes but when they work they really work!

It’s basically an overnight charge about 8 to 12 hours

Does it come with the black cord that you used at the end? If not where do I get it?
Yes I should have, I have a similar one linked in the pinned comment
I think is the cord you charge the cat, comes with, you just invert it

Hi. Anything I plug in, I get an error message. How do I reset it. I don't think it's a defect, because I tool the first one back, and same thing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Can anyone tell me PLEASE! HOW DO I TURN IT OFF! After i inflatted my tires theres no way to turn it off. Its on ac and just drains till its gone. I cant read the instructions cause even with a magnify glass i get a headache. Please help me.
Charlotte Rich That’s a common issue with the units, make sure all the buttons /dial is switched off. If that doesn’t fix it try plugging it in to reset the computer in it.
My unit has a very similar issue I just lived with it. The battery is huge and would still have plenty of power. The screen would always eventually turn off, sometimes it took a few days though. I’ve even seen random units on the Costco shelf with the screens stuck on.

Press the power button until you see "12.v" on the screen. keep it on there and it turns off automatically. If you keep it on the "A.C. " screen it doesn't turn off. Hope this helps...
So i bought two and both have faults on the A/c power from literally plugging my phone to the ac. How do i get the power outlets to work
Does this device have a standard 18amp hour sealed lead acid battery? Be sure to keep the battery charged or it will lose capacity.
it seems like i lost my wire to charge it, do you know a good spot or a way to find that wire at a basic price I dont even know how too look for that model ?
Any single plug extension cord will work.
Something like this or this actual one.
