A lot of people don't understand that you can leave that starter on while it's hooked up to your battery and it will charge off of your vehicle. It charges fast too!
Usually the inverter will turn off if the power runs down to low if used to 12 volt stuff I don't know if the unit will shut itself off if it gets down to low. It is too bad it doesn't have an option for a solar panel it would have been easier to keep a charge on the battery
Hello - I have different type of power pack. Firstly it is not as powerful. It is called a Nautilus Recreational power pack. In the winter it can go down to -40f where I live. Plenty of opportunities for boosting car batteries. It is also deep cycle marine battery (starting your boat, powering your trolling motor and lights. It is an AGM fully sealed battery. It has the same options as yours. The inverter is a modified wave type so it can be touchy with some electronics. You have not mentioned what type of inverter you have?. As for solar you would have to have stand alone solar system, well designed with 400 watts of panels. I do not have such a system. But my suv has a built in 300 inverter in the back. It means I could maybe recharge as I roll. I have to check my suv manual etc first. Thanks for the video
I own two of these and have had to exchange them many times. Baccus Global makes these under license from Dewalt, and that is why they are poorly manufactured. I am an electronics hobbyist and I’m going to tear one of my power stations down and reengineer it. I will try and draw a schematic of their circuit
Yes, please do a tear down. I've been wanting to make a Dewalt DCB1800 and I'd like to see a tear down of that system ideally since I have the 18V and 20V batteries.
Well I must have got lucky and had one of the better technicians on that day or something & Maybe that’s why I’ve had no issues with it and I work this thing hard
I wonder if it could be re-charged with a solar panel? I've had mine since the Hurricane Irma scare and it's still goin strong! Thanks for the review! Great vid! I certainly learned somethin.
I’ve had this unit now for about a year year and a half?(( at least a year now)) and I’ve used it repeatedly, I actually probably overuse it according to the original poster of this video recommends,(have NOT had any negative recourse due to it!!! I have ran it down to 25% two or three times now, but to Re-charge it back up takes longer to charge I’m assuming (running it below 50% as I have, It takes a good overnight charge, I read the charge levels after A good i18-22 hours of charging ? I unplugged it thought maybe it was something wrong with the unit? It read it had 3/4 bars on it (75% charged) it just seem to be staying at that level🧐 well unplugged it I had full capacity so I was very close I assume but I’ve done this a few other times without running it completely down and I mostly have used this product for jumping 🚗 vehicles & hchecking alternator conditions things like that and the air compressor don’t use it much for is the actual inverter for plugging things into it USB or other so it’s interesting to know that the things you said that you ran it through or just the few things I haven’t used it for but as far as an emergency situation jumping vehicles and stuff this thing is phenomenal I’ve had this thing hooked up to a vehicle for like an hour before they had been sitting for like two years the battery wouldn’t click it wouldn’t do anything and the guy wanted to give up and I said just wait I assure you this thing is never failed me yet because I’ve been in similar situations with the same pack and tried and true after a little while it finally started the truck started going click click he said to get in to click you here with a dead battery which I didn’t even have that originally then before you know if you get a little turnover so Quetion point this thing doesn’t accept no for an answer apparently it has come through each and every time for me so far I’m gonna go find a piece of wood to knock on now but very very pleased myself I originally looked for this video to reference what the read out should be fully charged because I don’t have the original documentation which I’m still gonna look for but it’s over 12 V to tell a 13 something right now it reads full bars as I mentioned it reads 3/4 were charging but I disconnected it to inquire why didn’t seem to climb at last Hope yet it says it’s fully charged so great video I made it further find my quest for that detail and good luck and enjoy your product
Thank you ! I have a all in one unit from outher company. looking for better one. all my work tools are DeWalt. mostly 20V max and flexvolt now. Have 2 check if can get replacement battery 4 powerstation. I travel with girlfriend alot camping . and is tent camping. can recharge them when driving in car. using my powerstation 1800 now with 4 20v max 6Ah batteries.DeWalt has great stuff! worth the extra $$ .
If you can stand a few extra lbs,this heavyweight sweet thang is for you! It has a ton of power and charges small delicate things like cellphones too.i cant say enough about this for power outages. Too on the job everyday needs. This thing is great!!
I think the die hard is 1150 cracking amps with a 400 watt inverter. Die hard Battery probably has 18-22 amp hrs, sounded like this has around 50; so run 180 to 200 watts for an hr vs 500 watts for an hour (1000 watts for half an hr)
Mine is junk. As I write this the screen is not working and the compressor is stuck on. Always have kept it charged and only use it to inflate tires. And the digital readout for tire pressure is off by about 5 pounds
I got about 12 years out of my sealed lead acid battery in my Black and Decker portable pump. Charging after EVERY use and keeping out of super cold/super hot climates will help extend the life.
Can it power a Portable Space Heater, AIVANT 950W Mini Electric Ceramic Fan Heater with 2 Seconds Quick Heat-up, Automatic Oscillation, Overheating & Tip-Over Protection
Youre gonna have a tough time running a welder on 1000 watts. I run my 120v welder on 3000 watt generator minimum which i still can't weld over 1/8 inch with it
Not sure how big 4.3 cubic feet is, or how efficient your fridge happens to be. But my regular full sized fridge uses about 130-150 watts per hour. Assuming yours is 150 watts, and you try to keep the door closed, and your fridge is at room temperature, then that means you should be good to go for about *3 hours*... assuming this power station actually gives you 500 watt-hours.
Nice job showing this. I’ve seen it advertised online, but you did a nice job of showing its features.
dude, you do a nice job reviewing this! articulate - to the point - smart! you could do commercials.
Thanks!
A lot of people don't understand that you can leave that starter on while it's hooked up to your battery and it will charge off of your vehicle. It charges fast too!
Great video, Would this run a 700w microwave in my work van? Thanks
Dewalt should have made the batter used in that inverter the same 20v power tool battery
Excellent video I purchase this jump start battery because of your video.. excellent review 👍🏾
Will the plug in the back of my Tacoma charge this while it is running?

Brian Coville Ones with the cigarette lighter port (12v dc) like the Die Hard 1150 usually allow charging with a panel through that.

Jonathan Holland let me know I bought two as well
Did you do the tear down yet ? I just purchase one about Two months ago
Yes, please do a tear down. I've been wanting to make a Dewalt DCB1800 and I'd like to see a tear down of that system ideally since I have the 18V and 20V batteries.
Do a video ! I’m retuning the 1400 a charger to get this one (2800a)
Well I must have got lucky and had one of the better technicians on that day or something & Maybe that’s why I’ve had no issues with it and I work this thing hard
Sealed internal battery is BAD... Hot swap batteries is the way to go
Searching online now for 1 to charge devices & LED small 📺TV... Gracias
I wonder if it could be re-charged with a solar panel? I've had mine since the Hurricane Irma scare and it's still goin strong!
Thanks for the review! Great vid! I certainly learned somethin.
I don’t know of an easy way to use this with solar.
I was wondering the same thing...
@@eliasnewman1130 great minds think alike lol. I still don't have an answer though (nor do I own a solar panel yet 😅)

Would love to know how long it takes to charge from the 12v cigarette lighter while driving. Great vid!

Was using the air compressor for a basketball my screen went blank and air compressor would not stop running now it wont do anything
Love Dewalt, but this thing looks huge compared to my Diehard jump starter. I will have to compare specs.
It is a beast.
I think the die hard is 1150 cracking amps with a 400 watt inverter. Die hard Battery probably has 18-22 amp hrs, sounded like this has around 50; so run 180 to 200 watts for an hr vs 500 watts for an hour (1000 watts for half an hr)
Can it also charge a car's battery
I need the proprietary booster cables for this Dxaep2 unit. Does anyone have any info?
Did you every find the booster cables? I needing to find a set myself
Mine is junk. As I write this the screen is not working and the compressor is stuck on. Always have kept it charged and only use it to inflate tires. And the digital readout for tire pressure is off by about 5 pounds
Same issue and like you keep it charged and only use to inflate
I always have trouble shutting it off…is there a simple way to do it
can this 1000 watt inverter can charge a daul 15 inch bluetooth speaker wit a 12vt. 12ah rechargeable lead acid battery in it
Lead acid battery leads me to believe even with keeping up with recharging the battery will only last 3 or maybe 4 years then the unit is trash.
I got about 12 years out of my sealed lead acid battery in my Black and Decker portable pump. Charging after EVERY use and keeping out of super cold/super hot climates will help extend the life.
Mine worked a couple times then the air compresser woudnt shut off. Cant stop it. Pissing me off right now.
Swap the internals and it’ll be perfect for the road
GenTech Mike I want to see a li-ion swap !
Can it power a Portable Space Heater, AIVANT 950W Mini Electric Ceramic Fan Heater with 2 Seconds Quick Heat-up, Automatic Oscillation, Overheating & Tip-Over Protection
It’ll do a max of 1000 watts.
I want to use this only For the 120v Plug , to run a 120v welder , I could care less about the rest , is this a good buy?
It's very cheap power when compared to just about anything else. Its weak point is the capacity at less than 500 watt hours.
Youre gonna have a tough time running a welder on 1000 watts. I run my 120v welder on 3000 watt generator minimum which i still can't weld over 1/8 inch with it
Can it run with non grounded (2 prong) tools?
I'll have to shoot another video showing how it performs with a variety of power tools. Stay tuned!
Can I use on my sump pump to drain it if power goes out?
As long as it runs on 110 and not 220V, and is less than 1000 watts.
Awesome price.
sir how many hour can run mini fridge 4.3 cubic pls reply
You'd need to find the wattage on the fridge. If I remember correctly, this unit is rated to about 500 watt hours.
Not sure how big 4.3 cubic feet is, or how efficient your fridge happens to be. But my regular full sized fridge uses about 130-150 watts per hour. Assuming yours is 150 watts, and you try to keep the door closed, and your fridge is at room temperature, then that means you should be good to go for about *3 hours*... assuming this power station actually gives you 500 watt-hours.
Are these EMP compliaant?
Not sure what that means.
Will it run a coffee pot?
Yes as long as you're coffee maker is not more then 1000watts to use.
Mine worked well for a year and a half then just died. Good luck
Wonder how easy that battery is to replace? And what size?
No clue.
3.50 v seal lead acid battery!!! BAD, HEAVY, VERY EASY TO KILL THE BATTERY, IF KID DRAIN IT... suck
Very true, but they are a lot cheaper.
POS that makes Dewalt products look bad. Never again like Milwaukee or snap on. Makita tools have held up the best.
