Thanks! I searched everywhere for help with the Schuhmacher jump starter with the 110v outlet. Your video deals with the exact problem I’m experiencing. Wow!!! what a “load” off my mind finding the problem is a simple fuse. Thank you very much. The video was extremely helpful and easy to follow. It solved the problem. Thank you.
I'm impressed as you went through the battery compartment. I just opened one of these yesterday by going through the back to replace the power plug in thing. That's the work of a dentist more of a surgeon who opens the patient! great job. And guess why I'm watching the video? No a/c power in mine. And I was just in there yesterday to replace the power input section where the spades broke off, there's a white and black wire inside that I just attached to the end of a regular "TV" cable. Tied a knot, drilled a hole in the folding storage of the old spades, fed it through, tied a knot, heatshrinked and soldered the wires, then melted a hole just above the back hose compartment fort a zip tie to keep the wires from wiggling until breaking.
I have this power pack. It has been a godsend when the power goes out. It will power up a 60 watt lamp for 2 days, 6 hours each day. Also, a lifesaver when I needed to pump up a flat tire.
Thanks for the video. It showed me what to expect taking mine apart. It's a different model but has all the same basic components. Sure enough the 30A fuse in the inverter was blown. Unfortunately there is something more wrong with mine because as soon as I touched the negative to the battery there was a huge spark and the 30A fuse blew again.
I have the same one for about 2 1/2 years now and my outlet just quit working but everything works fine like yours. I now feel confident opening it and seeing if the fuse is blown to replace it.
I know this is a couple years old but please do not disconnect ground first when working with AC power. DC power = remove ground first, AC Power = remove hot first.
Any ideas on how to fix/reset the tire inflation digital gauge? when it was new(er) the unit would display the tire pressure just by turning on and connecting the hose to the tire (used to be reliable as a gauge).. my unit no longer does this and mostly reads zero while connected and inflating may go up a few numbers but not accurately, could it be from a dying internal battery (3y old?) or something else?
@@nyetloki maybe, but by the time the replaced battery dies I'll just replace the whole unit. besides, I have a dedicated tire pump for my car-- it's just faster that way.
Looks like you got an easy one. On the SJ1329 model, the 20a fuse is soldered to the female end of the 12v outlet. More room to work with, but you can't just plug and play the fuse. Other than that, basically the same process as far as removing the case and battery goes.
I have the same model but it doesn’t work, it doesn’t turn on unless it’s hooked up to charge it says it’s 100% but it’s not turning on without it being hooked up to the charger the only thing that works is the light on the side please help me
Sealed lead acid batteries that are drained too low are not repairable not really. It's a consumable part you can replace with any similarly sized and spec battery.
I have one of these and it just stopped responding altogether. No display, no circle charge status leds, nothing. The battery is good. If it sits for a while I can plug it in and it will start working for a while like normal. Everything will work but then just as quick it just stops, goes completely dead. Almost surely would seem like a connection is loose or something of that nature. Ive had the battery out but that is it. I looked back inside along the circuit board and everything looks to be in order. I hate to toss it as its pretty nice. I hadnt messed with it for months and thought I would just plug it in and see what happens and it started charging. Tried the worklight and it comes on no problem. Battery says 95% so going to charge and see if it will make it to 100% before it quits again. Any thoughts on this one?
Mine just died as well. Sucks, because I love this unit. Battery display says "0." But if I plug it in to charge, it says 100%. But nothing works now. Must be something torched on one of the boards. Fuses are all good. Not throwing this thing away. One way or another, I'm going to find some way to fix it. Good luck with yours...
@@MF-le7fp I am thinking the battery may be bad. Take the battery out and check the voltage (DC) with a Multi-meter by setting to DC 20V in the Multi-meter dial. You mentioned that Battery display says 100%. If it is actually 100%, the Multi-meter would say so meaning will display voltage closer to 12V DC. If the Multi-meter indicates low battery voltage, You may take it to a Auto Repair shop and ask them to recharge your battery. If the battery won't hold charge, then it is time to replace the battery. If replacing the battery, make very sure the height length and width of the replacement battery matches with your existing battery. Also match the aH like 22aH (see the label on your existing battery on the current rating) before placing order. Be careful and good luck!

Eureka! Found the same model I have. This was invaluable. Thank you so much!!!! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Thanks dude mine had a bad fuse also. Fixed it in about 20 minutes up and running again
Good video, thanks. Just wished you gave a mention to the battery size and info for eventual replacement while you were in there. Good explanation!

Thanks for the video. I have a problem with the same model. I couldn't help but notice that you can barely see.

Good Morning!😊
I have the same issue. I just ordered the fuses. I’m hoping I can run my Cpap off this for at least 5 hrs. Hoping to use it while camping.
The 120 volt receptacle in this unit has green ground wire. Where does this ground to?
I have to use an extension cord to give my car battery a charge… any idea or suggestions ⁉️⁉️⁉️
Thanks. I am troubleshooting a smaller unit.
Could you say what the battery is in that? I have the same one but the battery is shot and I need a replacement but I foolishly got rid of the battery
Enjoyed 😆
Morning Dave

Do you have to use a extension cord to give the car battery a jump⁉️⁉️⁉️
Why does it only power anything while on charge and power outlet and the electric outlet and air compressor not at all
good fix
Anyone knows how to repair the battery on these? Mine won't take charge,I think it is cause I left it stored for a while
That would be a question for someone like will prowse youtube channel
Did you ever figure that out? I have the same problem.
@@twright3802 you can't "repair" a battery, only replace it.
