Jump Starter Power Station: ac adapter lost need replacement

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 10:44:13 -0700

misplaced my ac adapter what input and output should I use to recharge example

input ac120v 60hz

output dc12v 500ma

what should I buy

I need to buy an ac/dc adapter, an extension cord is not going to do the trick. I need to know what kind on voltage and output I need. The converter/adapter is lost . I would like to save the unit but do not know what size adapter to buy

This a battery jump pack that is used to jump start a car. Some units have an ac adapter built in so you can charge the battery in the jump start pack. My unit has a spot to connect the ac adapter to the jump pack so you can charge the battery in the jump pack. My ac adapter has been lost. I know I have to buy a new ac adapter so I can charge my jump pack, what I do not know is if the input (from the ac adapter) is 120v 60 hz

I understand that the DC output needs to dc12v. I do not understand the milliamps. The battery in the jump box is 12v 10 ah ( what ever that is). I just want a new ac adapter to charge the jump pack with that is not going to damage anything.

I’ve owned one for two years and never used it. I’ve charged it for four straight days and when I try the tire inflater the compressor doesn’t turn on. The charger and light only work when I leave it plugged in. Any ideas?

Jump Starter Power Station: Model PSX3 tire inflator won't turn on, other functions have power

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 10:34:43 -0700

PowerStation model PSX3 has both tire inflator and jump starter functions. It also has a work light. The inflator had been working fine, but now the push button switch has no effect. Seems as if an electrical connection has been broken. The work light functions perfectly, so there is power available. Inspection of the interior wiring didn’t reveal anything obvious.

Jump Starter Power Station: How to repair broken jumper pack

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 01:01:53 -0700

I have a basic car jumper pack. The solder connection of one of the rectifiers broke.

I can resolder but don't know where it's meant to connect to.

The soldering looks wrong to me. It doesn't make sense to have components hanging off the side of the board.

I found it how it should be

Jump Starter Power Station: charge in car with inverter

Sat, 08 Sep 2018 06:36:47 -0700

Is there any reason a driver with a jump starter power station could not use an inexpensive (read modified sign wave) inverter to keep a jump starter topped off. Mostly I need to know to use this to power a CPAP. I know this will use more power than a straight cable, but the indicator lights work with AC

Thanks

Hi.

I have a new Top Tech 3 in1 12Ah Booster Jump Pack with Tyre inflator.

It was working and battery nearly full.

I used the light awhile and tried put back to on charge and worked. I was tried change the cable different way but a little light came on when I plug the charge cable on jumper connection and red light didn’t come on and looks like not charge anymore.
