Very thorough ... Not sure if Lowe's would replace it but if not this will help. Mine is just like this. Thanks for the video
What do you need a usb for,ive wondered that on mine
Unlike USB ports on computers, the USB ports on portable power packs have no data lines. They supply +5V DC power only. They're used to recharge cell phones and tablets, Kindle devices, battery operated GPS devices, tactical flashlights - all sorts of equipment. My Depstech endoscope has a rechargeable +5V battery. The mini-keyboards supplied with our Android TV boxes have rechargeable +5V DC batteries. Pretty much anything made to be operated and recharged using a cell phone charger can alernately be operated and recharged on a USB-equipped power pack. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking!
I came here as I have the 950, only been used once. It is showing fully charge but still won't jump. I see this is probably my problem, but although you make it look easy, it still looks too complicated for my brain to follow or not brave enough to try. Excellent step by step though.
Here's why a known-good, fully charged battery in a portable power pack (any portable power pack) may not be able to jump start a car: It generally takes more than 12V to spin a starter motor. But when a fully charged and a discharged battery are connected in parallel, their combined voltages equalize. To find the equalized voltage, add the individual voltages and divide by two. Often, the result is often less than 12V! Let's say your car has been parked for a while and the battery has dropped to 11 volts. You try to start it. It won't start. Instead of the usual starter motor noise you hear click, click, click, and then clunk! You connect a jumper pack that's been fully charged to 12.6 volts. Calculate the equalized voltage: 11 + 12.6 = 23.6 divided by 2 = 11.8 volts, car still won't start because 11.8 volts is not enough to turn the starter motor. So, how come that same car starts when jumper cables are connected directly to a running vehicle? Because the alternator in the running vehicle is charging that battery at 14.4 volts. Redo the equalization math: 11 + 14.4 = 25.4 volts divided by 2 = 12.7 volts, the starter motor spins and the car starts right up. So, there might not be anything wrong with your DieHard 950. I've used mine several times since I put a new battery in it. I used it to jump my lawn tractor this year. I used it to jump start our Subaru recently. And, I've used it very successfully in an off-grid, 12V DC lighting project. Episode 11 of the Backup Power Project explaining how to do that s almost finished and should be uploaded soon. Hope you'll subscribe and watch it. In the meantime, good luck with your DieHard 950 and thanks for commenting!
Thanks for sharing this. Always enjoy watching restoration projects. Cool to see the "inside" of a DieHard unit. Used to own one many years ago but gave it away when I moved. Now I thinking of buying another one and I see these days there are small tiny portable "battery bank" type and I actually just tried using one I borrowed from my friend and sadly I was unable to jump start my car with it. These smaller units seem to get mixed reviews online so I was wondering if they still make the DieHard ones. I think I am rambling here but in any case, thanks for showing this!
Nice power pack!
