Thanks! I searched everywhere for help with the Schuhmacher jump starter with the 110v outlet. Your video deals with the exact problem I’m experiencing. Wow!!! what a “load” off my mind finding the problem is a simple fuse. Thank you very much. The video was extremely helpful and easy to follow. It solved the problem. Thank you.
I'm impressed as you went through the battery compartment. I just opened one of these yesterday by going through the back to replace the power plug in thing. That's the work of a dentist more of a surgeon who opens the patient! great job. And guess why I'm watching the video? No a/c power in mine. And I was just in there yesterday to replace the power input section where the spades broke off, there's a white and black wire inside that I just attached to the end of a regular "TV" cable. Tied a knot, drilled a hole in the folding storage of the old spades, fed it through, tied a knot, heatshrinked and soldered the wires, then melted a hole just above the back hose compartment fort a zip tie to keep the wires from wiggling until breaking.
I have this power pack. It has been a godsend when the power goes out. It will power up a 60 watt lamp for 2 days, 6 hours each day. Also, a lifesaver when I needed to pump up a flat tire.
Thanks for the video. It showed me what to expect taking mine apart. It's a different model but has all the same basic components. Sure enough the 30A fuse in the inverter was blown. Unfortunately there is something more wrong with mine because as soon as I touched the negative to the battery there was a huge spark and the 30A fuse blew again.
I have the same one for about 2 1/2 years now and my outlet just quit working but everything works fine like yours. I now feel confident opening it and seeing if the fuse is blown to replace it.
Any ideas on how to fix/reset the tire inflation digital gauge? when it was new(er) the unit would display the tire pressure just by turning on and connecting the hose to the tire (used to be reliable as a gauge).. my unit no longer does this and mostly reads zero while connected and inflating may go up a few numbers but not accurately, could it be from a dying internal battery (3y old?) or something else?
I know this is a couple years old but please do not disconnect ground first when working with AC power. DC power = remove ground first, AC Power = remove hot first.
I have one of these and it just stopped responding altogether. No display, no circle charge status leds, nothing. The battery is good. If it sits for a while I can plug it in and it will start working for a while like normal. Everything will work but then just as quick it just stops, goes completely dead. Almost surely would seem like a connection is loose or something of that nature. Ive had the battery out but that is it. I looked back inside along the circuit board and everything looks to be in order. I hate to toss it as its pretty nice. I hadnt messed with it for months and thought I would just plug it in and see what happens and it started charging. Tried the worklight and it comes on no problem. Battery says 95% so going to charge and see if it will make it to 100% before it quits again. Any thoughts on this one?
Mine just died as well. Sucks, because I love this unit. Battery display says "0." But if I plug it in to charge, it says 100%. But nothing works now. Must be something torched on one of the boards. Fuses are all good. Not throwing this thing away. One way or another, I'm going to find some way to fix it. Good luck with yours...
@@MF-le7fp I am thinking the battery may be bad. Take the battery out and check the voltage (DC) with a Multi-meter by setting to DC 20V in the Multi-meter dial. You mentioned that Battery display says 100%. If it is actually 100%, the Multi-meter would say so meaning will display voltage closer to 12V DC. If the Multi-meter indicates low battery voltage, You may take it to a Auto Repair shop and ask them to recharge your battery. If the battery won't hold charge, then it is time to replace the battery. If replacing the battery, make very sure the height length and width of the replacement battery matches with your existing battery. Also match the aH like 22aH (see the label on your existing battery on the current rating) before placing order. Be careful and good luck!
