Schumacher SJ1 Jump Starter & Power Source 

I wish there were more people like you out there willing to help others in need because no matter who you are, sometimes everyone needs a helping hand now and then. I appreciate you taking the time to make the video. It helped me make an informed decision buying a jumpstart/charging unit for my fiancés car. Just as you mentioned in the video you don’t want a loved one being alone in an stressful environment, likely already anxious and then having to ask a stranger for a jump start on top of that Is not at all what I want her to have to do.

Love the heck out of mine. Pumps up Tahoe tires, jump started at least 30 vehicles in the Winter, charged phones, and even used it to recharge batteries for flashlights during camping....NEVER leave home without it !!!

People like you sir are a great soul. Thanks for sharing the information and experiences.

Ooo I might need one! I camp out of my car for the weekends every October for a job and it’s pretty comfortable but when the weather starts getting cold I need to keep my heated blanket on at night so I don’t die

I've had this charger about 3 years now. Still works fine. Recommended you charge once a month.

I have had mine for over two years now and it is one of the best investments I've made. I agree the air pump is slow for auto tires but works well for kiddie pools blow up Xmas decorations outside and bicycle and wagon tires. I mainly use this for my ham/cb radios. I never let it get below 12.4 volts which keeps the cycling of the battery at peak levels (depth of discharge). Also what's great about this unit is that you can recharge it by AC outlet or from your auto thru the cigarette lighter......AND it can also be charged by solar which is what I mostly do. It also does a great job charging up my portable radio and phones as well as laptop. I also bought mine from Wal-Mart to make sure I could return it if need be. When the battery's life cycle comes to an end it can be replaced. I also purchased the Schumacher Storm 700 which is awesome and a great value compared to other units.

You are so right on about purchasing a battery charger locally, as I purchased mine from Amazon and the tire compressor went out FAST! Other than that, the Charger works great!

Nice review. He kept it real. When i purchased this all i thought about was I can help so many people.

Bought mine 2 years or so ago and use to all the time! LOVE IT! Did I mention I LOVE IT ! LOL

Thanks a lot for the video. I was given one without the instructions. Now I know how to use it.

I have this same very make and model... This. Thing. Is. Awesome... And it truly has paid for itself!!!

Thank you for your service

Thanks for plugging it up to a car and showing us how the voltage works

Good man.. saved your buddys day🍎

It's also perfect for charging RC planes and drones when you are out in the field.

I just bought the SAME model at a Pawn Shop , very cheap. The bottoms had all the "stickers" missing . but by watching your video , I was able to label them !! Also since I don't have any "instructional booklet", with your video now I know how to use this particular unit . Thank you very much for an espectacular Info -video . From :. Puerto Rico .

Use mine all the time when I'm camping have never run out of battery. , jumped my van off several times, great little power station, charges up swiftly

I had one and I LOVED IT!!!! My wife was trying to jump start our RV while I was deployed and she fried it. Walmart no longer carries it.

Hi will you please posted video how to put pressure tire using this schumacher

A video on using the air compressor and float pump.

Just got mine today and already used it. Was looking for pointers. It is two prong plug, cord not included.

Mine is a battery tender 1200 amp. It definitely comes in handy when on the road. I can charge my milwaukee batteries if needed. Or burn one lamp and charge my phone. But they definitely ain't for power outages. Unless it's just for 30 to 45 minuets. But it's better than nothing at all.

how long does this device stay charged up

Can this unit be hooked to a solar panel for battery tending purposes. If so what type of panel output/input is recommended. Also what it the best way to hook up the panel to the unit to charge it. Last question how long would this unit power a wall mount furnace thermostat? Thinking of using it as back up when the power goes out to run my thermostat on my propane furnace.

Mine is a couple of years old now & still works, but I would like to "service" the battery to extend its life. Also, the air pump runs but doesn't put out any air pressure. Do I need to oil the air pump piston? Do something else? What? How? Thanks everyone!

Still going good a year later? I'm in the market for one.

Can you use this to check your car battery charge????????

Is this the newer model or is the white one newer?

Love It. I have one. Wanted to say hi. I. Noticed your CG hat. I'm retired CG 1999. RMC.

Has anyone had problems with it turning on? I've used it for about two years here and there had it plugged in to charge one day before a trip and it just didn't work.

The ac connection isn't working on mine, any advice on how to troubleshoot this problem. Maybe a fuse needs to be changed?

How many cranking amps does it have?

Will this specific unit charge my car battery?? I have one but I can't figure out how to or if it can

How to use the air compressor on this machine?

It was at 100 percent and after you plugged in the lamp, it when down to 90 percent in like 5 seconds

Can you charge a laptop 20v? Can you charge with solar panels?

How do you charge it?

Thinking of using this to power my pa speaker!

how to turn on the air suppression

Trying to figure out how long this will power a 50 watt heating pad on ac..cant find info in manual..heating pad doesnt show amps only watts

I have one like this, but it’s doesn’t charge at all itself. I left it at about 24 hours charging and it was 0% charged.

I have lost my sticker to the front of mine where can I get a new one and I love mine

Can you charge it by the cigarette lighter while driving?

I can't get the wats to charge. Can you help me.

I was just lent one of these and it won't do anything unless it is plugged in.. so not as useful. I had it charging for about 40 minutes before it said full charged.. but still no power once I unplug. Is this a normal problem or do we assume it was abused? I came on here to see how to have it turned on but I'm thinking it is broken.

What type of internal battery (lead acid or lithium ion)? Is battery replaceable? How many amps or watts is the 120 VAC outlet rated for?

How do you know how much charge or power you have left on the jump starter?

The wall outlet feature for some reason doesn't charge. I plug it into my laptop and it won't charge. Everything works except that. Why is this?

I just brought one of these. I would like to buy the 12V male to male connector for the purpose of leaving the battery in the car to slow charge it overnight (or whatever is a reasonable time). Does anyone know if this will work and/or if this is a reasonable thing to do?

I just brought this home..havent used at all bc much to my surprise it doesnt even come with a cord..like not even a 6 ft cord to unbox n plug in to ur wall even tho it tells u to charge immediately..should at least mention this on the OUTSIDE of the box before u get home then i could have grabbed an extension cord while i was still at the store..love what it has to offer and really only wanted it to chg phones n to use usb fans..after reading all the warnings tho im kind of scared to use it as i am a van dweller and thats where it will be used.or not..may have to place it outside...but love the flashlight, air compressor n cables..btw got mine at walmart for $99

Question here, what is the difference between the 12 volt and the AC? How do you know where to connect a device on the 12 volt or the ac

I have this thing and it has never jumped my dead car batteries.

When not in use should device be plug in all the time in power outlet?

I have mine and upgraded the fuse amp to 15 amp because I am using it in my bedroom for extra saving on my light bill. took out the air pump since the hose split after using it a lot .. super light and added to two extra car battery for a power and emergency situation.. just trickle charge the batteries for emergency with jumpstater mode on.. I know cool tricks and tips

Quick question. How long will it keep a lamp running? I would like to take it camping but my wife wants a night all night outside of our tent.

Just bought one and the label inside called for it to be charged immediately after purchase (for 36 hours).. does this mean to keep it plugged in for 36 hours?

Hey i have the same batter charger however my compressor dont releases air can you help me

Do you know what the mAh rating on the battery is? I can't find it online anywhere. Thanks!

bought one new in 2016 2019 it needs a new battery

I must know. How long will this run a vacuum cleaner. And how long does this thing take to charge from 0% battery

Is there anyway to recharge this with a solar panel?

My AC outlet thing doesn't work, do you know what could fix this?

Mine just diesd after 8 years. Called Schumacher and they are sending a new battery for $52 delivered. Easy to swap out.

Thank you. Purchase from Wal Mart for exchanges,

Is this the BE01255?

Can you charge the car battery with this?

May buy a Schumacher at Auto Zone. Not Walmart, even if they are cheaper.

I have thia im charging my mobile right now

Love mine but now internal battery wont charge

The air compressor is ok. The hose on mine was junk.

Can you charge a battery? I know it says its an battery extender?

My A.C. Port is not working

Can you charge car batteries with this?

The air compressor on my just stopped working help! Everything else works fine..

Used mine 5 times, the air compressor died after 3 uses: (

I charged mine to 100% and I own a v8 f150 with a parasitic draw. I could only jumped my truck at most 2x before it goes to 92% and it stopped working. I'm a little sad about that. But all my Hondas it will still jump them a bunch of times at 92% even still at 72%. It does not charge your battery. Only jump them.

It went down 10% in 30 seconds when the lamp was plugged in. Lol

I have this device and it’s trash the air compressor stopped working after two months of usage

Got this item brand new $60 dollars 😎

Android vs Apple ... 1.5A vs 2.1A, I believe.

Car battery inside will last 3 or 4 yrs, that's it.. WHY don't they make one with a Lithium Ion battery ???

Excellent review, who cares about it being big? What do you need in an emergency when you’re stranded far from home and no tow truck money or AAA membership?, do you want a fashion show or a power plant that’s gonna get you and your loved ones out of harms way? Let Calvin Klein have the cute sexy ones, I’ll take the sure shot every time.

The product is complete garbage. It was purchased at Walmart a year ago and worked like a champ once fully charged. The instructions ask not to return the battery jumper to place it was purchased and to contact the 1-800 number for questions. I don't think a warranty exists with these and noticed the backing covered with stickers showing if customer tried to repair it themselves. I'm uncertain if Walmart will accept it back considering its faulty equiptment but will give it a go. Thanks for everyone's help.

Introduction Sucks 🧐

Buy another unit..the charging port is a HORRIBLE design. I bought one with the same prong style charging type and it broke after about the 3rd charge. Garbage design!
