An important piece of info. You MUST plug this unit in to recharge the internal battery immediately after using it. It contains a Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery, and you cannot leave it it discharged, or below 12V. This will kill the internal SLA battery.

Justice Respect, looked around for videos instructing how to use my new CJ1000DCP. All I found was guys opening boxes & pointing out the obvious. Your video answered all questions. Good on you JR! Thanks.

Great video demonstrating this unit's jump starting ability! I bought the same unit and I now feel more confident that I made a good purchase.

Congratulations Tommy 👏👏

I'm a GM of a restaurant with 55 employees, used this more than 100 times for staff battery jump starts ND about 10 x for guests whom left their lights on. Low tire pressure and bike inflates. Bottom line: best money I ever spent, besides bitcoin at $1.36 on third year. Hey, battery started going weekend at second year, barely filled a bike tire on third. Got a replacement battery for $36 dollars. You need a small, long, skinny Phillips head screwdriver to open case and replace battery. Extra tip; if you take apart, make sure you have unplugged, and don't stick your tongue to it!

Thank you this video helped a lot! I found one of these units on the side of the road and picked it up and just used it to jumpstart my cars! One had been dead for a long while and it worked first attempt 8)

Bought one of these to have in the back of my car and everyone said it was a waste of money. Had a flat tyre a week later and 2 friends with dead batteries. Definitely a good investment 👍🏻

Just bought this after returning two 'small' jumpers... not powerful enough and funky circuitry ... So this CAT looks much more rugged and powerful... thanx, bro!

Thank you to the point video. I started right up my suburban.

You saved my night bro! Thank you!

Great video brother. Best video I’ve seen to demonstrate this specific jumper.

You need to connect the red positive cable first, then I think you're supposed to connect the negative cable (black) to a piece of non painted grounded metal block somewhere under your hood, not the actual negative post of the battery. You only connect a black cable to the negative battery post on a powered car (when you are using another car to charge with.) And you would still connect the negative cable to a grounded metal block on your dead car though. After this, then turn on the power charger. When done charging your dead battery, turn off the power charge and disconnect the black cable first, then the red one.

@you2tooyou2too

The jumper switch is a nice feature that makes that a non-issue, if it is properly used. However, for normal jumping, the standard is to connect the ground clamp to the chassis, somewhere away from the battery which could have produced some explosive (or at least flammable gas) during the discharge process, which could be ignited by a spark while connecting live clamps near the battery.

Yeah the guy in the video set this up incorrectly as per the user manual. The manual states that both plugs should be properly set before the jump start switch is turned on the unit. The reason why the unit is beeping when he’s talking is because he flipped the switch before he had the red positive clamp established. The unit beeps to tell the user “hey knucklehead, fix this before you do something unsafe!”

When CHARGING, lead acid batteries emit trace amounts of h2 gas, which is explosive. For this reason, "they" tell us to always connect negative last, and to a piece of car away from the battery cuz a small spark is very possible. But, the risk of boom-boom is so small it's basically zero. Dead batteries aren't producing hydrogen gas, but if they do, they produce trivial amounts, and when those trivial amounts escape the battery, they are lighter than air, and rapidly dissipate, and if there's a breeze, even faster. Rather than hunt for a clean, exposed, nearby ground, I just connect to the negative terminal and accept the nearly zero risk. But no company's lawyers would let them say that, cuz why should they take the risk of you suing them, so they give the legalese instructions. Choose for yourself

Amazing!! I used one of this in my work to start a amazon step van , to start a van and did it without any problem, I need one of this right a way! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

You sacraficed your battery. Jesus that's commitment! Maybe same results just connecting directly to the cars pos/neg terminals? Thank you for the vid

Thanks for the review. Now I need to go and get one.

Thank you I wanted to know more about this one!

Bro, you had the compressor on while you were jump starting the car. You probably could got 10 - 15 more starts. Very good review. I like it.

awesome work there...thank you.

I do road side assistance and use the JNC 770R. After four years of heavy use it’s still on the original battery. It has never failed on me. You should look into the jump packs made by Clore Automotive as they are built tough.

The 6A USB is for the total of all the ports at once, so if you are charging 4 devices, the average will be no more than 1.5A each. The lowest device might charge the fastest (depending on its own charging control limiter). re 2:50 "completely dead": Can the battery be unconnected/missing? re 4:30 Should have simply turned the switch to "0" instead of risking a short if the clamp fell against something (as indicated in the UM). re 4:40 Note the dash lights indicate it is not quite 'completely' dead. re 9:50 Note, while he was doing the starts, the jumper was also doing a quick charge on his battery, and although it might show some significant voltage under almost no load (just some dash lights & ODU, etc, if he looked while cranking, it would drop to less than a volt under load. re 11:40 The charging bars are probably not a good indicator of anything except a full charge. Depending on how old the charger battery is, it might not be able to crank well if it indicates only 2 bars. (Worth checking before you depend on it.) The UM says you should recharge the Jump Starter every time you use it. (as well as every month anyway.)

The newest one at Costco is 1200 amps now, maybe the battery is slightly bigger capacity now. My family got me one for my birthday last year. It really will crank over a completely dead battery very quickly. The cheap Harbor Freight ones I have around will only crank a not completely dead car, internal battery is probably smaller and they're pretty old but not near the capacity even when new.

here's a tip from your uncle lare, once you start the car and let the car run for a while your alternator will charge the battery on it's own.

Quick question, just got it. Says it needs 40 hrs prior charge or 4 bars. Got all 4 bars in less than 6 hours (does come partially charged) but it didn’t run a 120V appliance.

@you2tooyou2too

You might have an old JumpStarter battery, or your tractor might require more CCA than this device provides, or both. If properly maintained, the device should retain reasonable performance for several years, but all batteries (as in the device) decline under the 'poor maintenance' most owners probably perform, and so will fail sooner. Remember; only "1yr mfg warranty" should give you an idea what the maker expects.

NO, the power pack only provided the voltage to start the vehicle. Once started, it is the alternators job to charge the battery. As long as he started and immediately turned the ignition off, the batter was not charged, actually the opposite.. the more times he started it, the more it drained the host battery.

@you2tooyou2too

The device is providing almost 12VDC to the whole car, including the starter and the car battery, continuously during the start tests, but those few minutes is not enough "charging' time to improve (nor do much damage to) the battery, even though it is probably 'charging' too fast to be good for the battery (it is not intended to be a charger).

The power button you see is just for the AC outlet. I plugged in my brother printer to see if it would work and sure enough it started right up. It says that it has 200 watts of power. If you press the power button again, it turns it off. I just jump started our 2018 Toyota Camry car with this device and it worked, but the battery on this jumpstarter showed zero bars flashing and needs to be charged. They say to charge it for about 40 hours before the first use, but i didn't do that. They say that the unit comes partially charged. When i opened this product straight after buying it, it showed full charge (four bars).

what is the purpose of turning on and off so many times? Is there a reason for it?

The moment you put the jump star clamps on the unit is constantly showing a warning sound that your negative clamp should attach to a ground chassis metal part in engine away from battery. Please read the manual before even post misleading videos online.
