Why does my new motor trend power house jump starter with air compressor not take a charge from the a.c. or d.c. charger?

Tried the a.c. and d.c. charger that comes with the unit for eleven hours for both and no results. On A.C. charging all the lights come on in the unit and on D.C. only the red light comes on. At the end of charging time, no results other than the unit is still dead ( the lights and air compressor does not work).

I agree with Ron. Contact the manufacturer for a replacement. I have same situation with my Booster Pac Brand ES2500 12 volt power supply. But I let the thing charge for 2 days to no avail. Now it's just an ornament sitting in the floor of my garage.

Contact manufacturer. If still under warranty they should replace. Sounds like the internal battery is dead...there has to be a little "juice" left in the battery for the charger to have a complete circuit to charge...some of these units take 24 or more hours on an initial charge.
Hope this helps,Ron

How do you recharge a Motor Trend Jump starter and air compressor

Should have been a patch cord that connects directly to the unit and to 110 volt plug for charging the unit back up. There's a built in convertor that does the re-charge. Find that cord or purchase one from where you got the unit.

Can a Duralast jump starter kit start a car while plugged into an outlet?

The charger to a Jumpstart charges at a low rate (300mA to 500mA) and will not push enough current to start a car. Best to have Jumpstarts recharged every 6 months to be ready for emergency.

My Duralast Gold Jump Starter does not take a charge when I plug it in to the wall socket. While the charger is connected to it, it will show the green light. But when I remove the charger, after...

There is a battery inside which may need to be replaced. To check, run the compressor (it runs off
the battery) - if the compressor dies quickly, then the battery has failed to charge and would
need to be replaced. You may want to check your Warranty Management software (or
shoebox) to see if your Starter/Air Compressor is still under warranty - if so, replace it.
Duralast products are carried exclusively by AutoZone, Inc.
The Duralast web site: www.duralastparts.com is useless - it only shows automotive parts,
and I cannot find the product at www.autozone.com, so it seems that AutoZone fails to support this
product with replacement batteries or other replacement parts (or even an online Users manual).

My Duralast Gold Jump Starter Model BP-DLG will not take a charge. When it is plugged into the charger it shows fully charged; when I unplug it it goes dead, will not start and the red light shows. I have used it about 4 times in less than two years.

I received RoadPro RPAT 774 as a gift sometime ago. Never used it. it is now dead. How do I charge it? Is there a separate cord or accessory that I am missing?

It should have an AC cord that plugs into the case, but if the battery inside is a lead acid type, it may have sulfated to the point that it won't accept charge. You may have to remove the battery from the case and try to charge it with a small external charger overnight. Hope this helps!
