Omfg I literally bought one today my car is dead it said it had full battery I connected the bulkshit and my car is still fucken dead ..idk what I'm doing wrong I had a man help me put it and my car still ain't turn on
Just bought it at Walmart used it on my dead battery and it worked like a charm!!!! And you don't need to hook it up directly to the battery my 01 Chrysler 300 has no battery in under the hood just a positive and negative terminal just hook it up to the terminals and turn the knob to on presto!!!
Thank you! I got to my destination and realized I had driven with a complete flat. I couldn't figure out that I had to set the psi and ignore the "off on" switch. You saved me for sure there 🎉❤
I have one of these and it is a life saver. The only downside I have is that I can normally only get one jump out of it per full charge. I had a problem with my Honda where if I shut it off I would need a jump. The jump starter would charge pretty fast so I would jump it then charge it at the next location and it would start my car right up every single time! Ive had this pack for over 2 years now and just recently needed it when my battery died on my Acura. My tire pressure inflator works good as well, I am not sure why the one in the video wasn’t really working but mine shuts off exactly at the selected pressure. This video was very helpful though and I’d recommend this item to someone, it’s reliable for me!
I bought my EverStart earlier this year when I broke down the previous week and had to call AAA. Charged the unit, and the battery started right up. The air compressor took longer than expected but filled the tire successfully. However as in the review, the compressor didn't stop and I had to shut it off manually. I also had the 'engine' icon appear, but it had no effect on the unit.
I carry the 1200 peak watt version of this in my Jeep Gr. Cherokee and have jumped some very large trucks stranded in bad weather and I think the only advice I would give is, regardless of any instruction, clamp the negative connector to the negative terminal on the battery. This booster works everytime for me when I do that as opposed to finding some piece of steel on the fender, etc. Also, set a reminder in your phone or whatever calendar you maintain to make sure you recharge these every 30 days, even when you don't use it. This is especially critical if you are storing it in the rear of the vehicle where it sees no warmth and can easily be forgotten about until you need it, only to find out that it is holding way less juice than you remember. Which leads me to my last piece of advice, which is that you should opt to keep this in the box it shipped in or another smaller box because the buttons are exposed and if other items around it shift while cornering, you could inadvertently have items rest up against those buttons (ie the flashlight) and discharge valuable energy.
I agree with you Kris. I haven't tried the 1200, but I have the 750 Plus and 750A. I think the 750A is a better quality and better version than the 750 Plus, but both have been helpful to me.
I bought one because I left keys and lights on at Walmart one morning. I figured if it didn’t crank my car I would just bring it back. It cranked my car right out of the box.
Don’t believe ppl who leave testimonials like this... it legit says to charge it before using it... if u jumped your car out the box than chances are the jumpers bad now.
Believe me when I tell you that this thing is a LIFE SAVER. I'm the girliest girl I know and I'm unfortunately clueless to vehicle maintenance. My fiance purchased this for me in the event of an emergency and Its helped me greatly with putting air in my tires and jump starting car.

Don't listen to instructions written by Chinese people, listen to me the detroit mechanic. The exclamation and beep was from an improper ground. Grounding the electrical exit for that many amps into your frame could damage 02 sensors, LED bulbs that are grounded to your frame etc. Connect it to the negative battery terminal & that will stop. The instructions are meant for newer cars that have the battery hidden and a positive post somewhere in the engine compartment specifically for jumping. This is common in new Chryslers jeeps and GM vehicles. If you can't get to your battery and you simply have a post then you connect the negative to frame where the car sticker shows you to ground. That's a negative grounded system, positive grounded systems are rare 98% of cars have a battery that is grounded to the frame from the terminal so you can just use the batteries black or negative terminal. The only problem with this product is the absolutely Incorrect and backwards instructions which is common with Chinese as I also speak some Mandarin. If the Chinese did it intentionally it's so they can sell you more LED blinkers and light bulbs O2 sensors and so on. I will try to figure out why the compressor didn't stop and update this post or reply again
😂😂😂 MY friend owns this, so he let me borrow it, but never use the jumper. So your video 📹 diffently helped me cause he didn't even know how the jumper part worked,,thanks again for your video.😅😊😊

Another video, like this one, shows it used as a jump starter. My issue with that is once I plug it up to the battery, it immediately starts losing battery life. Within five minutes it’s dead, and I’m looking at a few hours of charging again if I don’t get it started the first time. So I’m thinking the jump box is bad. I bought it last year and never used it. I said all that to ask… how long should I expect it to take before I can start the car from the point I turn the switch on. It would seem, seconds?
Thank you an honest review about the Everstart 750 Plus. The manual I got with mine is only in Spanish (like WTH ?) My Espanol is only good for ordering tacos and beer. I digress. I appreciate a great video review. Thanks again mate !
I've found that the strut bolts or nuts, don't have a very good ground connection. Use the engine(clean metal part) and you will get a better result. I just use the neg. terminal on the battery. There shouldn't be any hydrogen gas present unless you were charging the battery. If you have a bad ground cable, to the engine, ground it on the engine.
I jump started my car in the Walmart parking lot no issues. It took less than 4 minutes. My car is a V6. Battery was completely drained. Off I go to charge the Everstart jumper now.
I’m having a problem with it. The LED light turns on, but not off. So if you accidentally press it, you’re screwed You basically have to wait for it to die
Good morning you are so so so so right about to manual!!! I was like wtheck and the beeping made me think I was still doing something wrong..... I found this video just now because I needed to look up where the heck the air hose was on here and how to use it lol.....off to go try it now! Wish me luck 🙌🏾🤦🏾♀️
It would start my little Honda Civic battery all the time. Unfortunately after one jump the thing reads that it is dead (zero bars) though I would still get at least 8 more jumps on that "dead battery"
Yes if someone could explain this please. I just charged it inside said it was almost full, go out to try to jump my car and it said it had 0 battery life.
Its beeping like that because ur supposed to hook it directly to the battery Edit: reread my book its beeping because the negative clamp is not grounded to the system u need to find a part of ur car that is ground to the neg side or it will keep beeping telling u its not connected to a battery
Ima just letcha know the damn thing keeps the light on I took my battery completely out and hooked it STRAIGHT to the negative and positive and it still showed that. I believe it's the cables that come with it. They don't grip all that well around the pieces. That's what I believe this issue is caused by.
@@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT I purchased one awhile back and today was the first day I needed it. It did the same thing but I never did get it to start the car. I had to resort to the jumper cables and another car. VERY frustrating and I have no receipt to get my money back.
Yep, just bought one a yesterday, charged it up to full capacity and it didn't jump start my car.. Would like to keep it but I may have to take it back and look at a few others..
Same. I charged it for 24hrs (4 bars) and went out to try and start my car. Slow crank and no start. (V4 2.5L) It's poor quality and if it was in my trunk during winter there would be no juice in it whatsoever. Compressor gets hot as hell and doesn't shut off when it should. I like the features but doesn't perform them well enough to keep. Back it goes...
God bless you man. 🙏 I'm in Vegas and broke down. Luckily, Walmart was around the corner. I bought this product and your video was the first one i came across. Worked exactly as your video instructed/described
I’ve had one of these for a few years now, and I’ve yet to get it to work. I’ve seen other videos saying it needs to be connected for a minimum of 15 minutes (the longer the better) if you make an attempt to jump start and it fails the battery is drained.
Mine is beeping all the time too for no reason except I think it's maybe a little mad at me I don't know as much as it's beeping I think it's pissed off at me
It worked fine for me. But THEN .. I loaned it to a friend to use the air compressor .. He returned it (didn't say anything) and now the display is stuck on with "6.9 v" displayed on it. I can't get any of the functions to work - even the LED light - or the display to turn off (which will eventually run the battery down). Can't find my copy of the manual, and could not find another copy online (just SPAM and malicious stuff). HELP!!!!
Try plugging it in and charging it. See if it'll charge back up to 13. If it doesn't I'd suggest you try taking it back and getting a refund or exchanging it.
Everyone saying it doesn't jump a dead battery. Bullcrap... I jumped my dead RV battery that is connected to two more batteries and hooked this up to my RV main dead battery and it cranked right up first try. It was beeping and flashing that same thing as in this video and I ignored it and jumped in the rv and it started up first try. Went out and turned it off by the knob and then unhooked the cables. Also used it to air up my tire using the max setting at 120 psi. It air up the tire fast. No smoking as I see others saying. I like it. I also charged up a iphone se and my galaxy A20 at the same time and after they charged fully I plugged in a usb fan and everything worked fine. It charged up my phones fast and the fan ran for near 4 hours with it's battery still half good.
Thank you for the review. I just bought this charger, today because we had a cold snap and my car battery died. You provided a quick guide and good review so I know what to expect with this charger. Especially, when it comes to the notifications on the charger when the connections are made.
I bought one and had the same issue with the exclamation point and beeping, didn't know what it was and no way to look it up because mine didn't come with a manual in the box so My experience with it has been trial and error. The air compressor didn't air up my tire and began to smoke so probably won't try that again. It did jump the car so I guess that's good but I would never buy another one or recommend this to anyone.
The more expensive $80 is no better. I used my dads to top off my tires before a trip, this was a few months ago when the temps were much cooler. With only about 3 minutes of use if that the compressor started smoking.
Mine had never smoked. It says in the manual to not run it more than 10 minutes at a time. Let it cool down and use it again. I have also used it to air up balls to. Never smoked on me yet.
I would buy any other brand than the Everstart 750 plus I have never gotten my Everstart 750 Plus to hook up "Correctly" where the alarm isn't going off, and the engine light is solid. From my understanding, you aren't supposed to turn it to the "on" position until the terminal signs are lit up and the engine isn't blinking. As I said, I have never gotten it to correctly connect or start the car.
I have one, haven't had the need to use it for jump a car (yet), but the compressor feature has me puzzled. When I try to air up a tire that needs about 10 psi to get to proper pressure, the compressor runs for only a split second and then shuts down. What am I doing wrong or am I missing something?
Well, you're supposed to be able to set the PSI and then it's supposed to shut off when that set pressure is reached. Consensus has it that it doesn't always work though.
Mine does the same thing. It still jumps the battery everytime though. I tried to leave it hooked up to my agm batter for about an hour and it gave it no charge. But it does start a car.
wondering if when adding air to the tire, and lets say youre pressure should be 35 psi, and the tire showing only 30 psi,,, if maybe one should only set it to 5 psi?
It jumped great on lil cars and trucks and some lawnmowers. But I can't get the compressor to work at all properly! When new it would come on intermittently and some times work well. Had it over a year and no air!
I just got one at a reduced price!! 29.99 at walmart, may not be the best jump starter out there but shoot you cannot argue the price!! Its cheaper than a good set of jumping cables!! Great video!
“It may not be the best charger out there but you can’t beat the price…” famous last words that may leave you stranded cursing your cheapness and wish you’d spent the extra 30$ and got a decent charger/jump starter.
I bought the 1200 peak amp and those same signs flash continuously and the same prolonged beeping continues, very annoying. However, I. Find the unit useful. Never faltered when I found my Battery dead, and the very first crank got my Engine roaring back to life. Right now, my Dash Cam is running off the DC current from the unit as my cigarette plug in is busted.
I had 2 of the red ones. After about 6 months they wouldn’t hold enough charge to jump my battery. I’ve always wondered if it was because I didn’t charge it enough before the first use
Thanks for saying this I figured something like this would happen. That’s why I’m here and haven’t bought it yet. Walmart purposely make cheap products that don’t last .
Yeah I don’t think these are meant to last forever lol mine only worked once, now I only use it for the air compression for my back tire, until I can get new ones. It’s annoying having to remember to charge it all the time lol
i was trying to charge my phone with the power out and now its gliched flashing the blue screen and white light but nothing else will turn on and it wont turn off or charge no idea what happen
I got this one too a couple day's ago. But I noticed that I charged it fully. And when I go jump the car,it drains the charger I have no bars left? Idk if I have to charge the unit 24hrs or what
Mine had a yellow tag on the handle that said charge for 40hrs (which I did) out of the box. However in the manual it said 24hrs. I would just plug it in for a couple days and see what happens. Walmart has a 90 day return but don't throw out the box etc...
Connecting to the negative battery terminal can work, but you should never do so directly, it increases significantly the risk of serious problems including fires. The negative terminal of the battery is already grounded to the car's chassis, this is why you connect the negative clamp to the chassis, so that it connects to the negative battery terminal **indirectly**.
I just bought one, and i want to know one thing. How many times i can jump start my car when i fully charged it once and how much time does it takes to fully charge one?
Thank you Steve for this review. I am a novice with anything automotive. I got the same warning icon with the cables connected properly. Instead of just trying to jump the car like you did, I called the tech support phone number for help. I was told that the unit was probably bad. So I exchanged it and got the same result with the new unit. That's when I found your review. I will keep this new unit now that I see from you that it will work. I did try the air compressor I this new one. It worked very well with an automatic shut off screen it reached the 35 psi that I had preset. Thanks again for your helpful review.
@@ThePoppie225 yea I’m going to return it in like a week, keep it in my car in the meantime in case I need it and see if it works. I will say though it’s Very cheaply made. The plastic parts are peeling and ripping off. Dents and scratches on the unit, I can tell it was definitely either repackaged in the same box and used before or it was just horribly handled and shipped... rather go with the one that’s 50$ more and be safe
well bought 2 for this past christmas. one for us and one for son . My hubs tire one died on us so I'm needing to charge this and my extension cords won't fit this. but I have to say. I didn't realize this one doesn't show how much is in the tire before you actually start putting air in , Hubs was a tiny Kobalt he bought 6 yrs ago and it showed how much air was in the tire when it started , I just had to wait for it to hit 35. and the cord on it got very hot also. no biggie there. wondered if you hook the other clamp to the metal rim of the car itself if it would have made a difference. Looks like I'll be going to find a new cord, I have those big heavy duty orange cords, but think that's an over kill. and I'll need to buy some tire pressure gauges.
I’ve had one of the red ones for a couple months now and it’s always worked great! I only have to charge it up about once every month or so and then I just throw it in the trunk until I need it, it jumps starts my 2015 Honda Civic in seconds after hooking it up to my battery.. however, just recently today on my drive home it started beeping while In my trunk so I pulled over to turn it off thinking it got turned on somehow, come to find out the the switch was in the OFF position and the blue back light and the flash light part just kept flashing and flashing along with that annoying beeping noise it makes about every 3-5 seconds!.. I’ve tried everything I could think of to get it to stop doing that but nothing seems to work!
It’s currently plugged up to power out back charging! And I can still hear it beeping all the way from the backyard to my room! It’s gonna drive me crazy! Does anyone with any knowledge about these things have any suggestions that may help or fix my issue? Cause I’m gonna take a bat to it if I can’t figure it out soon!
stevekonbass yea, whenever if finally died! Haha!! Plugged it in to charge it up to see if maybe it’ll go back to normal, once it got a charge in her she started beeping all over again! I’m over it, I’m just gonna toss it!
Mine didn't come with a manual . Found it in a dumpster. Took it home plugged it in and it worked fine. Even pumped up tire to 32 and shut off. I usually charge it on the 1st of every month . Went out this morning plugged in a ac fan and my cell phone and everything was working well .showing 12.4 on the guage . In a little bit it started beeping and nothing is working .What does the beeping mean . Probably means that's the reason it was in the dumpster. But it was working fine. Do I try to fix it or shitcan it
I had one of the old ones and it worked great. Unfortunately, my landlord hooked it up to a car battery backwards and smoked it. So I got one of the new ones. The problem with it is that it doesn't read the tire pressure correctly. If I connect it to a tire that I know has 30 psi in it the gauge reads about 90 psi. As Steve observed the new one works kinda, just not correctly per the manual.
It had a good charge when I took it out of the box, but I charged it for about an hour anyway. Then I jumped the car. If the unit doesn't have a charge it will take a while to charge it up.
I didn't get the exclamation symbol, but the jumper/engine icon keeps blinking even after I switch it to on. According the instructions the icon should remain solid and it doesn't say anything about what to do in this case. Nothing happens when I try to start my car - so frustrating
I use mine to keep my tires at correct psi. It stays charged for several uses, and still has a good charge after a jump (but I always recharge occasionally as recommended). I used it twice to jump my car successfully...the third time, I got the warning even though everything was connected correctly (triangle with exclamation point), but it still jumped the battery. Fourth time, still have the warning, and my battery is really dead (quarantine...not driving), and I'm still getting the triangle warning and it won't jump my car. It has a full charge, so I don't know what the deal is. Sure hope I don't have an emergency before I can find a neighbor to help me with a decent jump.
Yeah I don’t think these are meant to last forever lol mine only worked once, now I only use it for the air compression for my back tire, until I can get new ones. It’s annoying having to remember to charge it all the time lol
It allllmost started my completely dead PT Cruiser on a cold as Wisconsin winter night, but didn't. Granted the charger said 4 bars but I didn't charge it 24 hours so maybe it wasn't enough. I'm guessing it just doesn't have enough juice to start up a dead car on a cold Wisconsin winter morning. Damnit
Great channel Great info I bought cuz it was cheap, since I bought I had to charge it for 24hrs per manufacture instructions, does the unit you have hold a charge, mine even after changing it for that amount of time I jump any Vehicle it dies, have you encountered any of these. I have the centec brand Harbor freight special, the charge on this one last a month and some change. Any tips if I’m doing something wrong. Thanks
just tried to use it for my suv to jumpstart my dead battery, of course no manual😩 but it does say to plug in the charger until fully charged as it hasnt been used yet, but charger says its fully charged. so I attached the red to the red and black ground to the black, but it showed a warning like yours did, i tried to start my car, almost started, but not! I realised that i still had the charger plugged into the wall 😳hey Im a woman🤫 lol so im gonna try again after unplugging from the wall 😆, hopefully it didnt damage it!
Is there any reason why you don't hook the negative to the battery at the same time the positive is connected why do you hook the negative on to another part of the car and not the battery itself this is what I'm doing wrong I hooked both positive and negative to battery I have the same jump start when I connected both to the battery at the same time it drained the jump start completely?
i put red on red post and black on black battery post and it worked. is there a problem doing it this way? compressor works at 35 psi and shuts off. my question is about the unit holding a charge. Unit says to charge unit every 30 days, but my unit does not hold a charge anywhere near that long--maybe a week or two. am i leaving something "on" that is draining the unit?
The instruction manual states to only connect the positive to the battery. They don't suggest to connect both pos/neg to battery because of the possibility of an explosion. This is all manufacturers manual stuff. That said, I've gone black to black and red to red. As far as charge, mine holds the charge, but if you read the comments on this video, lots of people have that problem.
“It didn’t work as stated in the manual.” Well, at least one of us actually got a manual in the box...so, thank you so much for the video 👍🏾
I am hunting a manual for mine. Did you happen to find a link to one that you could share?
I didn't get a manual in mine either.
This tho!! Lol thought it was just me
This thing is a lifesaver! Battery died in Walmart parking lot. Ran in, bought this and it worked right away.
Bro that literally happened to me just now and I was watching videos to see if it worked right out the box before I buy it 😭
I literally have the exact same story and from then on I have had this since 2019
Omfg I literally bought one today my car is dead it said it had full battery I connected the bulkshit and my car is still fucken dead ..idk what I'm doing wrong I had a man help me put it and my car still ain't turn on
Lucky wow
This just happened to me 🤣
Just bought it at Walmart used it on my dead battery and it worked like a charm!!!! And you don't need to hook it up directly to the battery my 01 Chrysler 300 has no battery in under the hood just a positive and negative terminal just hook it up to the terminals and turn the knob to on presto!!!

That's exactly what he did . . .
Ima just letcha know the damn thing keeps the light on I took my battery completely out and hooked it STRAIGHT to the negative and positive and it still showed that. I believe it's the cables that come with it. They don't grip all that well around the pieces. That's what I believe this issue is caused by.
I ignore it as it still works and jumps the car every time for me. Jumped a RV dead battery and a woman at walmart with a dead battery.
@@BLUExEYEDxSLICKT I purchased one awhile back and today was the first day I needed it. It did the same thing but I never did get it to start the car. I had to resort to the jumper cables and another car. VERY frustrating and I have no receipt to get my money back.
@@TheMan-wg8xm ill send u my recipe I purchased one yesterday at wal mart in Jersey ... charging mine now
Yep, just bought one a yesterday, charged it up to full capacity and it didn't jump start my car.. Would like to keep it but I may have to take it back and look at a few others..
Same thing with me, It’s Garbage
Same. I charged it for 24hrs (4 bars) and went out to try and start my car. Slow crank and no start. (V4 2.5L) It's poor quality and if it was in my trunk during winter there would be no juice in it whatsoever. Compressor gets hot as hell and doesn't shut off when it should. I like the features but doesn't perform them well enough to keep. Back it goes...
Pretty lame it doesn't come with a power cord. Great review!
Thanks Trisha. I agree, pretty cheap of them not to include a power cord.
@@stevekonbass I just bought it today.i made it didnt come with the cord
i missed that on the box and was pretty mad when i got home! i didnt have a cord that would fit!
Thank you for the video, really worked for me. I Just started my car with no problems,by myself!! Blessings.
Glad to help.
God bless you man. 🙏 I'm in Vegas and broke down. Luckily, Walmart was around the corner. I bought this product and your video was the first one i came across. Worked exactly as your video instructed/described
That's awesome man. Glad it had enough of a charge off the shelf to jump you. Safe travels. Keep the vehicle running until you get home.
Lucky it worked these things are the most POS battery jumper's to ever exist
I have this and the air compressor doesn't work anymore any suggestions guys?? I can't seem to find a troubleshooting video
I’ve had one of these for a few years now, and I’ve yet to get it to work. I’ve seen other videos saying it needs to be connected for a minimum of 15 minutes (the longer the better) if you make an attempt to jump start and it fails the battery is drained.
My unit beeps all the time. Never stops, even when charged.
Mine does too and I think it will soon belong to the dumpster.
Kinda stops working with time too no matter how long you charge it
Mine is beeping always too! Bout to open it up and kill it!
Mine is beeping all the time too for no reason except I think it's maybe a little mad at me I don't know as much as it's beeping I think it's pissed off at me
How long have you had it?
My came in 4 bars. No charging was Necessary I Like the phone and tablet charger. And the bright light comes in handy. 40 bucks.. 2019
I take bass lessons from you. You are the best bass teacher!
Beep is because battery charger cover (where you plug in the extension cord to charge it) isn’t closed. Just figured this out for myself by accident.
Whaaaat?? No way - there’s nothing on the cover that would help the unit know whether or not the cover is on or off. You sure about this?
False
It worked fine for me. But THEN .. I loaned it to a friend to use the air compressor .. He returned it (didn't say anything) and now the display is stuck on with "6.9 v" displayed on it. I can't get any of the functions to work - even the LED light - or the display to turn off (which will eventually run the battery down). Can't find my copy of the manual, and could not find another copy online (just SPAM and malicious stuff). HELP!!!!
Try plugging it in and charging it. See if it'll charge back up to 13. If it doesn't I'd suggest you try taking it back and getting a refund or exchanging it.
mine does the same thing: alarm signal and flashing icon....but it doesnt start my 12V lawnmower.
Everyone saying it doesn't jump a dead battery. Bullcrap... I jumped my dead RV battery that is connected to two more batteries and hooked this up to my RV main dead battery and it cranked right up first try. It was beeping and flashing that same thing as in this video and I ignored it and jumped in the rv and it started up first try. Went out and turned it off by the knob and then unhooked the cables. Also used it to air up my tire using the max setting at 120 psi. It air up the tire fast. No smoking as I see others saying. I like it. I also charged up a iphone se and my galaxy A20 at the same time and after they charged fully I plugged in a usb fan and everything worked fine. It charged up my phones fast and the fan ran for near 4 hours with it's battery still half good.
Just bought one at walmart. Got full bar and it worked. No exclamation error..just one long beep and it stopped.
What about putting air in tire
CAN YOU USE THIS TO ACTUALLY JUST FULLY CARGE A CAR BATTERY THATS JUST HAVE DEAD FROM SITTING AROUND
Yes
@@jenniferfarmer8615 how cause mine dont that i no of
No, it's just a jump starter/air compressor.
Just got one today! Watched your video to make sure I was doing it right. lol My car started right up!
Nice job!
How to I do get the older one to work again it doesn’t come on at all nor does it charge?
If it doesn't charge and the lights don't come on, it's most likely done.
@@stevekonbass okay thank you
Thank you for the review. I just bought this charger, today because we had a cold snap and my car battery died. You provided a quick guide and good review so I know what to expect with this charger. Especially, when it comes to the notifications on the charger when the connections are made.
It's not a charger it's a jump starter
I bought one and had the same issue with the exclamation point and beeping, didn't know what it was and no way to look it up because mine didn't come with a manual in the box so My experience with it has been trial and error. The air compressor didn't air up my tire and began to smoke so probably won't try that again. It did jump the car so I guess that's good but I would never buy another one or recommend this to anyone.
The more expensive $80 is no better. I used my dads to top off my tires before a trip, this was a few months ago when the temps were much cooler. With only about 3 minutes of use if that the compressor started smoking.
Mine had never smoked. It says in the manual to not run it more than 10 minutes at a time. Let it cool down and use it again. I have also used it to air up balls to. Never smoked on me yet.
I would buy any other brand than the Everstart 750 plus
I have never gotten my Everstart 750 Plus to hook up "Correctly" where the alarm isn't going off, and the engine light is solid. From my understanding, you aren't supposed to turn it to the "on" position until the terminal signs are lit up and the engine isn't blinking. As I said, I have never gotten it to correctly connect or start the car.
I have this one.
Pumped up 2 flat SUV tires no problem one after the other, one charge.
Had to charge overnight for max battery.
Beeping normal
I love when it starts smoking when trying to inflate 1 tire.
Same thing
Doesn’t even charge my occasional dead battery, I bought a $50 boat anchor, Dont buy this...if you do save the receipt
This thing... Worked once, then a few months later the light just blink exclamation points and it says that the battery is dead despite charged.
Good review. Thx Homie. Sucks it don’t work as intstucted, but like u said, it works. Appreciate the video. Go Padres!
Thank you. Very thorough. I also appreciate the notes in the comment box.
Glad it was helpful!
I have one, haven't had the need to use it for jump a car (yet), but the compressor feature has me puzzled. When I try to air up a tire that needs about 10 psi to get to proper pressure, the compressor runs for only a split second and then shuts down. What am I doing wrong or am I missing something?
Well, you're supposed to be able to set the PSI and then it's supposed to shut off when that set pressure is reached. Consensus has it that it doesn't always work though.
In the future please connect the negative terminal to the battery, it’ll stop the beeping.
Mine does the same thing. It still jumps the battery everytime though. I tried to leave it hooked up to my agm batter for about an hour and it gave it no charge. But it does start a car.
It's a starter, not charger.
wondering if when adding air to the tire, and lets say youre pressure should be 35 psi, and the tire showing only 30 psi,,, if maybe one should only set it to 5 psi?
My air compressor doesn't work right, so when I put air in I just keep checking with a tire pressure gauge until I hit the right psi.
It jumped great on lil cars and trucks and some lawnmowers. But I can't get the compressor to work at all properly! When new it would come on intermittently and some times work well. Had it over a year and no air!
I just got one at a reduced price!! 29.99 at walmart, may not be the best jump starter out there but shoot you cannot argue the price!! Its cheaper than a good set of jumping cables!! Great video!
Thanks!
“It may not be the best charger out there but you can’t beat the price…” famous last words that may leave you stranded cursing your cheapness and wish you’d spent the extra 30$ and got a decent charger/jump starter.
I bought one of the red ones, and for some reason, the light won't shut off after I tested the light?
I bought the 1200 peak amp and those same signs flash continuously and the same prolonged beeping continues, very annoying.
However, I. Find the unit useful.
Never faltered when I found my Battery dead, and the very first crank got my Engine roaring back to life.
Right now, my Dash Cam is running off the DC current from the unit as my cigarette plug in is busted.
I have the same problem with mine just beeps and beeps no manual came with it
If you bought it new and it didn't come with a manual it makes me wonder if someone returned it and they just put it back on the shelf.
Mine has never worked right! The air compressor never worked correctly, AND fully charged, I couldn't get it to charge my battery.
Try connecting the black clamp to the negative of the battery instead of the the bolt... forget what the instructions say...
I had 2 of the red ones. After about 6 months they wouldn’t hold enough charge to jump my battery. I’ve always wondered if it was because I didn’t charge it enough before the first use
Thanks for saying this I figured something like this would happen. That’s why I’m here and haven’t bought it yet. Walmart purposely make cheap products that don’t last .
Yeah I don’t think these are meant to last forever lol mine only worked once, now I only use it for the air compression for my back tire, until I can get new ones. It’s annoying having to remember to charge it all the time lol
i was trying to charge my phone with the power out and now its gliched flashing the blue screen and white light but nothing else will turn on and it wont turn off or charge no idea what happen
I just bought one today .. ( red one) you only need a regular extension cord to charge it nothing fancy.
thank you 👍
thank you,,, I bought this for Christmas, the battery doesn't last more than a week, even if I don't use it, I can throw it away
I got this one too a couple day's ago. But I noticed that I charged it fully. And when I go jump the car,it drains the charger I have no bars left? Idk if I have to charge the unit 24hrs or what
Mine had a yellow tag on the handle that said charge for 40hrs (which I did) out of the box. However in the manual it said 24hrs. I would just plug it in for a couple days and see what happens. Walmart has a 90 day return but don't throw out the box etc...
You need to connect the black clamp to the black battery terminal.
That's what I was thinking.
Never connect to negative terminal. Google why.
The booklet said connect to the body of the car
Connecting to the negative battery terminal can work, but you should never do so directly, it increases significantly the risk of serious problems including fires. The negative terminal of the battery is already grounded to the car's chassis, this is why you connect the negative clamp to the chassis, so that it connects to the negative battery terminal **indirectly**.
It won't cause a spark by putting it on the negative terminal of you hook it up BEFORE you turn the dial to start.
I just bought one, and i want to know one thing. How many times i can jump start my car when i fully charged it once and how much time does it takes to fully charge one?
I get at least 2 and I usually charge it over night. I charge it every 3 weeks or so to make sure it's charged even if I haven't used it.
Every time I try to recharge it it says I'm doing something wrong and beeps
I bought one when I got my 2011 malibu it's been great
Hi can I ask you a question? Does the LED screen EVER turns off?
i bought just few days ago.thanks for the review👍
Glad I found this video.I just bought this today.
SAME
Thank you Steve for this review. I am a novice with anything automotive. I got the same warning icon with the cables connected properly. Instead of just trying to jump the car like you did, I called the tech support phone number for help. I was told that the unit was probably bad. So I exchanged it and got the same result with the new unit. That's when I found your review. I will keep this new unit now that I see from you that it will work. I did try the air compressor I this new one. It worked very well with an automatic shut off screen it reached the 35 psi that I had preset. Thanks again for your helpful review.
Thanks. Let us all know over the long haul how you make out with the unit. Seems like this model has issues.
@@stevekonbass Yeah. I'm already having second thoughts about keeping it.
@@ThePoppie225 yea I’m going to return it in like a week, keep it in my car in the meantime in case I need it and see if it works. I will say though it’s Very cheaply made. The plastic parts are peeling and ripping off. Dents and scratches on the unit, I can tell it was definitely either repackaged in the same box and used before or it was just horribly handled and shipped... rather go with the one that’s 50$ more and be safe
Connect black to neg cable on battery. That should stop the improper ground problem
Im a scrapper and im wondering would it be possible to connect an air hammer to the air pump to potentially have a portable air hammer?????
Great video. Mine worked first try with no issues. Apparently there are a lot of duds out there though.
Glad it helped. Continued good luck with it.
Thanks for the review I am shopping around for one of those,I have several air compressors I wish I could find a more powerful one.
They make a 1200....I have . Does my tires fine and has digital psi read out
well bought 2 for this past christmas. one for us and one for son . My hubs tire one died on us so I'm needing to charge this and my extension cords won't fit this. but I have to say. I didn't realize this one doesn't show how much is in the tire before you actually start putting air in , Hubs was a tiny Kobalt he bought 6 yrs ago and it showed how much air was in the tire when it started , I just had to wait for it to hit 35. and the cord on it got very hot also. no biggie there. wondered if you hook the other clamp to the metal rim of the car itself if it would have made a difference. Looks like I'll be going to find a new cord, I have those big heavy duty orange cords, but think that's an over kill. and I'll need to buy some tire pressure gauges.
This thing is pretty smart. Air compressor only works when fully charged
I’ve had one of the red ones for a couple months now and it’s always worked great! I only have to charge it up about once every month or so and then I just throw it in the trunk until I need it, it jumps starts my 2015 Honda Civic in seconds after hooking it up to my battery.. however, just recently today on my drive home it started beeping while In my trunk so I pulled over to turn it off thinking it got turned on somehow, come to find out the the switch was in the OFF position and the blue back light and the flash light part just kept flashing and flashing along with that annoying beeping noise it makes about every 3-5 seconds!.. I’ve tried everything I could think of to get it to stop doing that but nothing seems to work!
It’s currently plugged up to power out back charging! And I can still hear it beeping all the way from the backyard to my room!
It’s gonna drive me crazy!
Does anyone with any knowledge about these things have any suggestions that may help or fix my issue? Cause I’m gonna take a bat to it if I can’t figure it out soon!
Did it ever stop beeping?
stevekonbass yea, whenever if finally died! Haha!! Plugged it in to charge it up to see if maybe it’ll go back to normal, once it got a charge in her she started beeping all over again!
I’m over it, I’m just gonna toss it!
@@goofygcode4217 I had to shoot mine to put it out of it's misery! Lol
🤣🤣 that thing possessed
Mine didn't come with a manual . Found it in a dumpster. Took it home plugged it in and it worked fine. Even pumped up tire to 32 and shut off. I usually charge it on the 1st of every month . Went out this morning plugged in a ac fan and my cell phone and everything was working well .showing 12.4 on the guage . In a little bit it started beeping and nothing is working .What does the beeping mean . Probably means that's the reason it was in the dumpster. But it was working fine. Do I try to fix it or shitcan it
Thanks for the review I saw the red one today but, now ill look for the old one
I had one of the old ones and it worked great. Unfortunately, my landlord hooked it up to a car battery backwards and smoked it. So I got one of the new ones. The problem with it is that it doesn't read the tire pressure correctly. If I connect it to a tire that I know has 30 psi in it the gauge reads about 90 psi. As Steve observed the new one works kinda, just not correctly per the manual.
How long did you let it charge? I just bought one from Walmart and it went dead but has 3 bars when I plug in charger.
It had a good charge when I took it out of the box, but I charged it for about an hour anyway. Then I jumped the car. If the unit doesn't have a charge it will take a while to charge it up.
@@stevekonbass so wat do I connect the black plug to I have a 1999 grand marquis
I didn't get the exclamation symbol, but the jumper/engine icon keeps blinking even after I switch it to on. According the instructions the icon should remain solid and it doesn't say anything about what to do in this case. Nothing happens when I try to start my car - so frustrating
Same here, this is why I'm online looking
Zero help sofar.
Full charge I try once completely dead and I charged a long while too
The thing don't turn off the info on screen stays on and drains the battery fast gotta charge it every few days
What power supply does it need to Charge it??
I use mine to keep my tires at correct psi. It stays charged for several uses, and still has a good charge after a jump (but I always recharge occasionally as recommended). I used it twice to jump my car successfully...the third time, I got the warning even though everything was connected correctly (triangle with exclamation point), but it still jumped the battery. Fourth time, still have the warning, and my battery is really dead (quarantine...not driving), and I'm still getting the triangle warning and it won't jump my car. It has a full charge, so I don't know what the deal is. Sure hope I don't have an emergency before I can find a neighbor to help me with a decent jump.
Yeah I don’t think these are meant to last forever lol mine only worked once, now I only use it for the air compression for my back tire, until I can get new ones. It’s annoying having to remember to charge it all the time lol
It allllmost started my completely dead PT Cruiser on a cold as Wisconsin winter night, but didn't. Granted the charger said 4 bars but I didn't charge it 24 hours so maybe it wasn't enough. I'm guessing it just doesn't have enough juice to start up a dead car on a cold Wisconsin winter morning. Damnit
Great channel
Great info
I bought cuz it was cheap, since I bought
I had to charge it for 24hrs per manufacture instructions, does the unit you have hold a charge, mine even after changing it for that amount of time
I jump any Vehicle it dies, have you encountered any of these. I have the centec brand Harbor freight special, the charge on this one last a month and some change. Any tips if I’m doing something wrong. Thanks
Seems like lots of people have had that problem. Mine holds the charge. Might want to consider taking it back if you have your receipt.
I've had one for six months, and now the air compressor won't stay on.
I got one but the air compressor does not work
This thing will save you hundred of dollars is incredible
I love this... My Best Car Tool Ever... Thank you for Sharing...
wait till it catches FIRE
Thanks for this video. 👍
just bought one, it's junk
They are, I charged mine for a day and it still doesn’t charge my occasional dead battery, It’s a $50 boat anchor
This thing is worthless for jump starting and just okay for air pumping.
It’s a piece of shit lol
Biggest waste of 50 bucks
I fuckn hate it won’t jump my car
Works as a jump start but the compressor stopped working a couple months after I bought it.
3:15 that’s good ‼️ great review
just tried to use it for my suv to jumpstart my dead battery, of course no manual😩 but it does say to plug in the charger until fully charged as it hasnt been used yet, but charger says its fully charged. so I attached the red to the red and black ground to the black, but it showed a warning like yours did, i tried to start my car, almost started, but not! I realised that i still had the charger plugged into the wall 😳hey Im a woman🤫 lol so im gonna try again after unplugging from the wall 😆, hopefully it didnt damage it!
ok it worked! yay ditsee me! lol
Ya got your car going that's all that matters! Good job!
Is there any reason why you don't hook the negative to the battery at the same time the positive is connected why do you hook the negative on to another part of the car and not the battery itself this is what I'm doing wrong I hooked both positive and negative to battery I have the same jump start when I connected both to the battery at the same time it drained the jump start completely?
I connected it per the instructions. If you had a full charge on the jumpstarter it should be able to jumpstart your dead car battery.
It works.. be happy.. my changer is dead. 4 - 6 hrs .. had it 2 yrs and never use it. My car Turbo Verloster is dead. AAA
Car wouldn’t start went to Walmart found one charged it tried to jump the car five times still didn’t work
Whats that other light flashing when you tryed to jump your car?
It won't stop charging or blinking on blue glass window
i put red on red post and black on black battery post and it worked. is there a problem doing it this way? compressor works at 35 psi and shuts off. my question is about the unit holding a charge. Unit says to charge unit every 30 days, but my unit does not hold a charge anywhere near that long--maybe a week or two. am i leaving something "on" that is draining the unit?
The instruction manual states to only connect the positive to the battery. They don't suggest to connect both pos/neg to battery because of the possibility of an explosion. This is all manufacturers manual stuff. That said, I've gone black to black and red to red. As far as charge, mine holds the charge, but if you read the comments on this video, lots of people have that problem.
How do you turn off the alarm?
I bought mine today does the same thing , thanks for the video
Can I ask you a queation? Does thr LED screeb ever turns off ? Mines is always on ,
That blue screen should turn off.
