By now the warranty is expired

Look in a manual to see if it has a number https://searchmanuals.net/search7/?keyword=%2Bmanuals&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwc7jBRD8ARIsAKSUBHKEI80Q6CieEEng39GMJDInaMWCYCawMEogJFIuB4mhUxn45mkkNpoaAna6EALw_wcB

It may be in the manual. Here is a site if you need one. https://searchmanuals.net/search7/?keyword=%2Bmanuals&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwc7jBRD8ARIsAKSUBHKEI80Q6CieEEng39GMJDInaMWCYCawMEogJFIuB4mhUxn45mkkNpoaAna6EALw_wcB

Either the charger is bad or most probable is the battery is bad.

hello u will find a lot of wiring diagrams, codes etc and circuit diagrams help books and stuff like this at online places.. like reliable-store for free the girl in the chat box can help u instantly... im a frequent buyer there since Im a mechanic so take help from there

Hi there's this website something like reliable-store and it is very amazing for manual for repairing servicing anything someone on fixya recommended it to me and I thank him even today They have full manuals free

Just a guess here. Sounds like the battery might have been left uncharged for a while and could need to be replaced. Lead acid batteries need to be kept fully charged as much as possible to prevent them failing (the chemistry begins to change quite quickly and irreversibly if the voltage gets too low, and they will then not recharge). Top-up charge every couple of months if not being used to prevent self discharge from causing this. Always recharge promptly after use. If you have a voltmeter, check the battery voltage, should be above about 12.4 v to prevent deterioration. Voltage should only drop slightly when light is switched on if the battery is good. Charger might be self protecting if battery is faulty. These batteries are reasonably priced and very common, be careful to connect the right way round if you are replacing or you can destroy the electronics! You might be able to connect a new battery (observe polarity!) to test it works before you buy. Check that the batt voltage rises slightly when the charger is connected to make sure the problem is not caused by a charging fault.

Expensive as a spare part from the manufacturer if they are available but both Amazon and ebay list a wide variety of charger/adaptors, as do many other sites. It is sometimes better and more convenient to buy a universal type with a variable voltage output and a variety of connectors. The 1650 ma rating will be the minimum and there is no reason why you shouldn't buy a higher rated type, say 2 amps or 2.5 amps. The output voltage is another small problem - as it is a charger it is best to choose an unregulated type.

I live in Brunswick Ga, can you tell me where to find a replacement ac charging plug and the cigarette lighter plug for my Vector Jump Start 450 amps,(VEC012c).Thank You Mr. Prior

found a place selling the batteries, contact them for the case. http://www.batteryspec.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?action=link&product=315G74&uid=9 and here's the manual if that will help. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/725731/Vector-Ultra-Sport-Spot.html?page=2#manual

Yes this is a high-price unit but it is very good I mean you could simply place a fan near your fireplace to blow the air before it goes out the chimney to make it more efficient but in all cases you should always have a carbon monoxide detector plugged in on both sides of the fireplace to make sure you're not introducing harmful gases into your breathing air

My guess would be the power oscillator mosfets. Was the 25V AC or DC? If there is no AC and the output is DC then the chances are very good that one of the switching mosfets that produce the AC is shot. These are usually set up in an H-Bridge configuration and both the neutral and hot leads alternately get switched between high voltage DC and ground, producing a modified sine wave output. For the cost of one of these inverters, it might be cheaper to just buy a new one and recycle the old.

I cannot see the manufacturers name. If you get me the manufacturers name and the model number then I'll be able to find out where you can get the power cord.

If the bulb is good, the charging port may be causing a bad connection. The charging port has terminals inside that prevents the light from being used while charging. Sometimes, by quickly inserting and removing the power tip into the charging port several times can temporarily solve the problem.

If you have a manual for the inverter check and see ifDin there are diagnostic codes with the LEDs. http://documents.dewalt.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/Vector/VEC1045.pdf I looked through this and your description of the problem was not listed in the document, but you may be able to contact the manufacturer and get more information. Basically this is a DC to AC power conversion device, which takes the 12v DC input and converts it to 115V AC and in does so at a maximum peak power of 750 watts at 115V AC. since your charge controller went bad, it is possible in the process it overloaded this device or the battery system put out too low of a voltage when the charge controller died and low voltage input is not something this unit was able to tolerate. Check your remaining components to be sure they are good, then look at the inverter's board and transformer to see if anything was damaged. I would want to verify the charge controller was good and the batteries in good condition - and perhaps consider replacing this inverter with one more suited to your actual load wattage requirements.
