In this video, I am testing a brand new Stanley Power Supply Pack in a series of 3 tests. I test the unit on a truck with a dead battery, the USB charger on my Iphone, and the compressor for my van tire. I give the honest results.
This tool really comes in handy for people that park outside during the cold days of winter, because frozen batteries often prevent cars and trucks from starting. When the temperature is close to 0 degrees fahrenheit, that's when the news channels typically report people with vehicle starting problems.
NOTE: When hooking up a battery jump starter, be sure to have the starter turned off, then connect the positive and then the negative. Turn the starter on and start your vehicle. Once the vehicle is running, disconnect the negative one first and then the positive one. (In this video, I accidentally disconnect the red one first, which is wrong) Sorry for the confusion.
ANOTHER CORRECTION: BE SURE TO: Connect Negative/Black Clamp to Chassis, Metal Component, or Non-Moving Metal Vehicle Component. NEVER Hook it to Negative Battery Terminal. See Manual For Instructions

I know this is an older video, but I wanted to thank you. My father-in-law gave this to us a few years ago and I didn't know how to use it. Now I will be prepared for power outages here in Iowa's tornado season. Thanks!

Great video I just bought this yesterday. I have a Buick Rainier V8 and my remote starter device had a short and was draining my battery(I had it removed) but anyway it started my truck with no problem. I'm glad I did my research and bought this jump box. This is truly a lifesaver. Every woman should have this device.

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

+zoelynn69 That's cool, thanks for sharing! I just used this jump starter/compressor yesterday to help my wife with her flat tire at work. It saved me from having to get the spare out.

@chicagorealtynow 8 лет назад

Mark, thanks for posting this video. I just purchased this item and I really didn't have any idea of how to operate the thing. After watching your video, I now know that the positive red cable goes to the positive battery plug and the black goes to a piece of metal. At first I thought black plug went to the other side of the battery.. guess it could have blown up the batter if I did this? Didn't realize the battery could blow up acid and that's why its good to have protective glasses on. Also I learned you need to go in reverse order when removing cables. Thanks again!

@jitneyjet 8 лет назад

Excellent review & video!! I've been checking out this jump starter and one review said it didn't always work well on a V6 engine and I have an '02 Ford Ranger 3L V6, but it seems this thing worked pretty good on your Silverado, so I gotta figure it will work well for me if or when I need it to, as long as I do the monthly charge on it!! I think most people who give it bad reviews don't charge the unit up every 30-60 days as required.

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

+Pappy Thanks, I think your theory is correct... It needs to be topped off every once in awhile.

@lawrencecavens5760 7 лет назад

I have the same unit that was bought back in 2010 from Canadian tire and it dose stand up to time as mine is now six years old. The only weak thing on this unit is the compressor, as it is not heavy duty enough as mine failed after the third year but the battery boost is still working as well the USB charging port.

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

I've found the compressor is always the first thing to go on any brand jump pack/compressor.

Is the battery inside 18AH (amp hour) rated? Will this charge if plugged into cigarette lighter while driving? Can it be be charged by a 100 watt solar panel without a controller with no risk of overcharging?

@patrickdague2284 8 лет назад

Good review - thanks! I was not sure exactly how to use the compressor but obviously - as demonstrated in the video you - just connect the air hose and turn it on. Same as any gas station. :)

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

+Patrick Dague Yes, the compressor is easy, once you use it. Its saved the day a few times for me now.

@caponsacchi 7 лет назад

Good review. It's been a while since I've used mine, so I was unsure about how to charge the charger. Is that done with simply an AC cord with the female end attached to the prongs on the back of the charger? And is the cigarette-lighter hole on the front used solely for outputting a cable from the Jump Starter to the car's cigarette-lighter (I assume for lighter-weight engines that haven't been sitting idle over-long)? (I had thought maybe the battery had two storage parts--the bigger part charged thru the back and the lighter part--for USB, the little lamp, etc.--charged via the cigarette lighter on the front.) I see that's not the case. (I'm going to have to give the ligter a whirl to see how effective it is at charging the car. My only remaining question is how this big fellow compares with all of the featherweight, pocket-sized jump chargers that are now flooding the market (much like the LED flashlights, which are great). For some reason, the Stanley seems like the more solid, safer bet. but the convenience of the little fellows is attractive--esp. if they really work.

@fouramhq 7 лет назад

I have a Jumpit 1000 and so far so good. I haven't had the chance to jump the car or tractor yet, but I have used the compressor for lawn mower and trailer tires and it works great. Pretty fast for a small compressor. I do have a problem though. The air pressure gauge doesn't work! Before i dig in to it, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it out short of total disassembly?

@maryks8721 9 лет назад

You are great! Thank you for this review! I really needed to see it in action. Our Jeep Compass battery died yesterday, we had jumper cables but no one around to help. We had to wait 15 minutes for roadside assistance. So I started looking at Jump starter packs, it seemed like it started up your dead battery pretty well. I found this exact Stanley one, but wasn't sure whether to pick the model with a compressor or without. Do you think we'd get much use out of a compressor? Is tire pressure supposed to be something we need to monitor on a monthly or constant basis? (because personally, we've only been having tires checked, aligned and rotated once a year).

@MarkThomasBuilder 9 лет назад

+Mary Karam I would go with the compressor. There are times where you may get a flat overnight. Thanks for commenting!

@mikekelly3884 2 года назад

Awesome video Mark. How do I know if the jumper cables are working? I tried to touch them together on reverse polarity and didn't see any spark. Could something be wrong with my the jumper cables?

@MarkThomasBuilder 2 года назад

Thanks Mike! I've never touched them together on this and I'm sure the instructions say the same thing. If you have a fully charged unit, the switch on, and a good solid connection on each end, then it should work. I think the most common reason it would fail is if the negative isn't clipped on some metal that goes to the frame. Make sure it's not clipped to aluminum. Hope that helps.

@QuadBloody 9 лет назад

Thank you for this review. Would have bought a way more expensive one if I hadn't seen this video.

@patwhit8414 7 лет назад

I didn't understand what the power adapter for your cigarette lighter does. What is it supposed to do when you plug it into your cigarette lighter? Also, how long do you have to drive the vehicle after you jump start it to recharge the battery? Can it recharge while idling in the driveway or do you actually have to drive it to recharge it? My Stanley 1000 should be here by tomorrow. I've been stuck at home with a dead battery for three days and am looking forward to getting my ride going once again.

@RickyG225 6 лет назад

Yes, I have this charger and has come through with flying colors when my batteries went dead unexpectedly. You have to make sure you keep it topped off with a charge every 1-2 months when not in use. I did not know I could use the adapters and plug in via the cig lighter instead of the battery terminals. Is that actually safe??

@MarkThomasBuilder 6 лет назад

I've always charged mine with an extension cord. I guess a cig lighter is another method, but I just think the extension cord is the best way.

@RickyG225 6 лет назад

Mark-I meant when jump starting my vehicle using the cig lighter connector.(If it is safe and recommended)?

@EgoShredder 3 года назад

@@RickyG225 I doubt the wiring is designed to cope with hundreds of amps passing through skinny wires. Could cause a fire perhaps or fry some circuitry.

Good job My old jump started died and I'm looking to replace it. I like this stanley 1000 but not really wanting to spend a lot as it is something that for the most part is never used, right now amazon has a good deal on these. my old one held a charge very well I top it off in the spring and again as fall turned to winter. Looks like you had this unit about a year how do you rate it as far as holding a charge?

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

+ogbobbye I top it off every once in awhile, like you mentioned. I haven't noticed how it holds the charge. If I test it for that, I'll let you know. Thanks.

@lextacy2008 8 лет назад

I just bawt this and was wondering how could I charge this by using cars cig lighter. The manual says to put the gold end into the cars DC outlet, but the cable is silver on both ends (the male-male DC cable that comes with jump starter) What is the correct way to connect this ? Also will I get the LED charging light when using DC method? Thanks for a great review!

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

Sorry, I only have experience charging it from my a/c outlet. I would think both ends are the same on the d/c charger. If the charger is turned off and your vehicle is putting out a current, then it should charge it. You may want to email the company to be sure.

Hi that little hook that you put on the tire did not come in the box is it missing or is it bought separately? And if it is bought separately what's the name of that thing and where can I get it? Thank you

I think you're asking about the tire pressure gauge I have in my hand. They're only a couple dollars and found in the automotive section in big box stores.

@patrickweaver1105 6 лет назад

Stanley changed the design from a clip on tire chuck to a screw on tire chuck because the plastic angle chuck was breaking frequently.

@sunnysun4868 2 года назад

I have one thing about the the jump starter when you are done your engine was running and I could not hear it do you turn the power off the jumper before you unhook the cables or what I couldn't hear what you said with your truck running

@MarkThomasBuilder 2 года назад

What I do when the truck starts is shut off the jumper. Then I take the positive off and then the negative.

@MarkThomasBuilder 6 лет назад

I normally try starting my vehicle about 15 seconds after the jump starter is ready to go.

@ramielsayed7401 3 года назад

I think the manufacturer's instructions are to hook up the black cable to the chassis not to the battery. Also it's always good electrical practice to connect the ground (black) first, then the positive (red). Great review and thx for the thorough testing.

@MarkThomasBuilder 3 года назад

Yes, good advice. I may have added a disclaimer in my video description.

@ryshay 2 года назад

WRONG!!! Always hook up positive first to avoid any chance of short-circuiting....

@Jessie_S2.1 7 месяцев назад

Red first, then black when connecting. When disconnecting, black then red.

@gtjackets09 9 лет назад

Thanks a lot! Vid is very helpful! 2 Quick questions: Does it matter which cable I disconnect first after I turn the jump starter off? I have seen videos with the negative taken off first and I have seen others where the positive was taken off first. I have always disconnected the positive on the bad battery first when using another car... Also, can I connect the negative clamp to the terminal of the battery? I have seen conflicting instructions on this topic. I always have used the negative terminal when using another car. Please advise. Thank you very much!

dark matter yes it would inflate a completely flat tire. I've done that a few times before. as long as the tire can hold air.

@caryrae73 9 лет назад

Going on a road trip and was thinking off picking something like this. Was wondering do you know could it pump up all 4 tires if they are low on a single charge? I'm guessing there is no way to charge it in a vehicle if it needs to be charged while on the road?

@MarkThomasBuilder 9 лет назад

Cary Nelson I've never tested it to see how long it will run on a single charge. Based on my experience, I think it would easily pump up a few low tires. I usually don't run the compressor for longer than 5 minutes at a time. I think with all small compressors, they last longer when run for shorter periods of time in order to avoid overheating. Hope this answers your question...

@justinb8392 9 лет назад

Cary Nelson I've got the slightly cheaper version of this same jumper pack and it could definitely pump up all 4 tires on a single charge. Mine pumped up the tires from a car that was sitting for over a year with a slow air leak (for one tire the rim was on the ground with how low the pressure was) and still had plenty of charge after pumping up the other 3.

@RomanCoronado 9 лет назад

I've been reading reviews on this particular model and there are quite a few negative reviews that say the item it's self will not charge after use. One person said that the compressor switch sticks out so if there's any movement on the device it will turn on. Have you had any issues with this? I'm just assuming those negative reviews were due to a faulty device from the factory. Last December I flew home for 2 weeks leaving my car in the airport's extended parking which doesn't have any kind of cover from the elements. When I got back from my vacation my car battery was dead and I had to wait for any stranger that was parked nearby to give me a jump. I'll be making the same trip again this coming December so I'm looking into getting a jumper box.

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

+MysticSoulsTV I just want to clarify that the jump starter doesn't make a difference if you have it hooked up for 1 minute or 30 minutes. The key is making sure you have good connections. A battery charger is completely different, and may take several hours to charge, depending on what setting you have. I would try to fully charge the battery and then see if it starts.

Stanley didn't work no matter how snug I had the connections or how many times I turned the key or readjusted it. Towed car back. Bought new battery. Car cranked right up. After that I wanted to check its other main function (air compressor). All tires were low. Stanley pumped #1 and 2 with no issues. Tire #3 broke it. Click and fizz. P.O.S.

I believe the reverse polarity light comes on if you clamp them in reverse.

Can this be used as a charger? I need to charge a motorcycle battery but don't have anywhere to plug in a trickle charger. Could it be left on the bike battery over night?

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

No it's not for charging. Check out my Diehard Charger video... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--atS1xj_if0.html

@rwafful 7 лет назад

Thanks for the reply. I already have a couple different trickle chargers. I need something that can charge a battery over night but doesn't need to be plugged in. I have a motorcycle that has a lot of electronics. If the battery is low it won't even let me jump start since the computer won't boot. I'll keep looking. Thanks again for the reply.

@theblackrapunzel246 7 лет назад

instructions say charge it for 24 hours when u first get it but it already says it's fully charged after only 2 hours...should I unplug it now or keep letting it charging for 24 hours... I don't want to damage the battery

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

You can let it charge for 24 hrs. It will only maintain the charge and fully top it off.

@ren7ee 8 лет назад

I am going to buy one based on this review.

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

+Renee Vargas Great, please comment back later and let me know how it works...

@ren7ee 8 лет назад

***** Okay, I just ordered one from Amazon and should have it by next week.

@ren7ee 7 лет назад

Hi. I know it's been a year but, boy, time flies. I just wanted to update you. The Stanley works great! I used it for my truck which needed a new battery. I've had it unplugged for months and it still has a full charge. I now want to try out the air compressor.

@MegaFerret12 8 лет назад

great video.. can I use this for my cb radio using the cigarette lighter. looks a great bit of kit.. thanks.

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

Yes, I believe so.

@MegaFerret12 8 лет назад

thank you for your reply.. that's great, kind regards.

@goldenblooms6672 7 лет назад

Hi. Now that you've had this for more than two years, how is it working for you?

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

Still works fine.

@kinglord5429 7 лет назад

I have had 3 PEAK and none have lasted. Battery clamps have broke to just not jumping a car to just not holding a charge. So bought one of these hope it works out better

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

I've never tried the Peak brand. The Stanley is still going strong.

@kinglord5429 6 лет назад

Well its been over 7 months since charging this and had to use it for the first time yesterday. My 4runner needed help starting so hooked this up and started right away, no problems. This video was one that lead me to Stanley, thanks very much 😁

@pedromarchand8638 8 лет назад

@atlas05 9 лет назад

hi, where's this Stanley jump starter made from?

@MarkThomasBuilder 9 лет назад

***** I couldn't find any indication where it's made from. It only says Baccus Global.

@theblackrapunzel246 7 лет назад

How long does the charge last on jumpstarter....I read that the battery dies as soon as you used it

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

I've always kept it topped off every couple months when it's in storage, so I've never tested how long it holds a charge. Also, I didn't notice the jump starter dying after using it.

@theblackrapunzel246 7 лет назад

markthomasbuilder OK thanks

@stevelavenant1214 2 года назад

Where can i get the charger for this product

@MarkThomasBuilder 2 года назад

You have to plug your own extension cord into it. It doesn't come with one. Seems to work well for me.

@scootergreen3 5 лет назад

markthomasbuilder Hi, I bought the Stanley jumpit 600 and charged it fully. After 7 days the lights showed dead. I never jumped anyone. Was gonna take back but decided to give it a 2nd chance. I charged it again and It has stayed charged for two weeks now. What do you make of that?

@MarkThomasBuilder 5 лет назад

That's a good question. It's a pricey item that you want to work as expected. If it shows signs of not working properly, I'd exchange it. Mine still works fine, fyi.

@scootergreen3 5 лет назад

Thanks markthomasbuilder. I hope it keeps working. I love the size and weight of it.

@MarkThomasBuilder 5 лет назад

You're welcome! Mine has helped get me through some vehicle issues and I'm glad to have it at the ready.

@MarkThomasBuilder 5 лет назад

You're welcome! Mine has helped get me through several vehicle issues and I'm glad to have it at the ready.

@scootergreen3 5 лет назад

That's great markthomasbuilder! Just one more question. Do you think my 600/300 amp will start a V8? My car is a 4 CL. but my neighbor has a V8 and needs a jump sometimes.

@ogapaulo 7 лет назад

Hey, I bought one in USA and I want to use it in Africa where the voltage is 220V. Can I just plug it directly to the mains to charge?

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

Sorry, I'm not sure how it will work with the electricity outlets in Africa.

@ogapaulo 7 лет назад

OK but what are the charging points and their various input voltage's?

@mclovin4659 8 лет назад

Going to pick one up tomorrow getting tired of my car battery dying while at work. Asked someone nearby me today to help me out im pretty sure he hooked up his end wrong his battery was in the trunk and it was dark, when I attached the ground to my car it sparked alot so disconnected the cables quickly. Luckily everything on my car and his car still worked fine I looked inside my car and my lights were on I guess thats all the battery needed, my car started right up with the cables disconnected.

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

I'm sure you'll be happy with it. It's never fun to have to find someone to help you. Good luck with it!

@rubicontreras1 9 лет назад

My car alternator is not working but can I (in the mean time) use this to power up my battery when my car dies. The alternator will be put in my car next week...

@MarkThomasBuilder 9 лет назад

rubicontreras1 No, this won't work for the problem you described. This won't trickle charge your battery. It only gives it a jump start. If your battery if fully charged, you can drive short distances and then the car will start acting up. I don't recommend doing this. Thanks for the question.

@rubicontreras1 9 лет назад

Oh, ok, thank you very much.

@tyronewalker5764 4 года назад

Mine quit working 3 months after purchase, how's your holding up?

@MarkThomasBuilder 4 года назад

Mine is still working, but I don't use it too often. The smaller compressors probably shouldn't run for more than 10 minutes at a time.

@alvaro7570 8 лет назад

My camaros battery died because my mom left the trunk of my car open for like 2 days straight while i was gone, bue does the starter work while its pluged into the wall and plugged into the batery???

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

You need to fully charge the starter first, then jump start your car with it. Hope it works well for you.

@alvaro7570 8 лет назад

yep it did, thank you

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

Good news!

@tritchie6272 7 лет назад

I didn't see Stanley when I looked at Walmart tonight. I'm thinking about getting a Schamacher.(Think I spelled that wrong) Does anybody know much about them? I'm reluctant to by the Walmart brand cause my son read somewhere that like most Walmart brand stuff it has a short service life.

@loricoy861 7 лет назад

I thank you for the video. I watched others and felt like screaming. Most people can't to a video on how something works. My one question is, do you keep it charged constantly while not in use? Thank you.

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

Thanks! I try to plug it in every once in awhile for about an hour. That way, it's always ready to go.

@ironbutterfly98 7 лет назад

I bought a Stanley FatMax the air compressor hose connect to the tire's tube the black connector is not included don't know what it call do I had to buy it extra

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

It should have the complete hose assembly to connect to your tire. What part was missing?

@ironbutterfly98 7 лет назад

I found out it should screw in to the tubing of the tire,Sorry, thanks a lot for your reply

@rayserrato9519 7 лет назад

Awesome video. I think you just sold me on it.

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

Thanks, I just used mine today to pump up an unexpected flat tire on my mower.

@MarkThomasBuilder 5 лет назад

@nkbc5819 2 года назад

Does it come with a charging cord? Mine didn’t.

@MarkThomasBuilder 2 года назад

No, you need to provide your own extension cord. I don't mine that setup since I always have extra cords around and don't have to locate a specific one.

@steveburns6551 2 месяца назад

Bought the STANLEY 1000/500 j509 in Nov of 2018. I have always kept it charged as per instructions. Even so the 2 times I tried to use it to jump start my lawn tractor it was unable to. Recently I noticed that the USB status light would come on randomly. I contacted customer service and was told some BS about the circuitry. The rep said to charge it for 40 hrs. I did so and after that now the three battery status lights come on randomly also. I just tried to use it to start the lawn tractor, after it had been full charged less than a month ago. Same story, no start. I put it on to charge and after all three lights indicated fully charged I took it off charge. The next day I noticed that one battery status light was lit. I put it back on charge and it seems to be completly discharged.

@MarkThomasBuilder 2 месяца назад

Sorry to hear that. These are a handy tool to have, but they don't always last the longest, despite the brand. I think I've gone through 3-4 of them in my lifetime. Part of the time it the compressor that goes out.

@e4jmimeministry607 5 лет назад

I have a Stanley J5CPD jump starter 1200 amps 500 power inverter and 120 psi. Tonight I was using the USB to charger my phone inside my car.

@MarkThomasBuilder 5 лет назад

The USB comes in handy for phone charging.

@harmony3510 7 лет назад

I'm curious what size engine was in your truck and how many cranking amps are recommended to start the engine? I have a '12 Ram 2500HD with a 5.7L V8, the battery lists 730CCA. After all the reviews and information I researched on this product it doesn't reference Trucks or HD Trucks, they seem pretty careful in what they recommend the use for. I'm just looking for a comparison. Would this jump starter be able to start my truck with a completely dead battery? I don't currently have any issues with my Truck/Battery but I am looking for a fall back if/when that time arises. I want to be prepared. Thanks in advance.

@MarkThomasBuilder 7 лет назад

My truck is a Ford Triton 5.4 V8. I'm not sure how many CCA it needs. When I have a completely dead battery, I put a charger on it. Otherwise, this jump starter always works well when I need it.

@slide100100 8 лет назад

Do you have to shut the truck off right after it starts back on???

@MarkThomasBuilder 8 лет назад

+slide100100 No, I like to leave the truck running for awhile to help the alternator charge the battery. I just shut the power to the jump starter off before disconnecting from the battery.

@slide100100 8 лет назад

***** Thank you.
