It turns out that the lights were simply installed in the wrong order.
Duralast 1200 Jump Box Full Right OutMine showed full right out of the box - without me having had to charge it up at all.I called the store and manufacturer to ask if they charge them up before putting them on the shelves as a convenience to the customer.![]() Im wondering if maybe the reason heshe brought it back is because it didnt work. Does anyone know a way to test it wihout having a dead battery Thanks - Ed. Place the clamps apart, turn the unit on and measure the voltage at the clamps. I have found if you discharge some every 2-3 months then recharge they last a lot longer. And for that you would need to put it under a load as from a load tester. My battery pack has voltage indicator to test the state of charge. ![]() Does anyone know a way to test it wihout having a dead battery. Maybe I just had money to burn but they were so important I wanted two good ones at all times.Lost one to a customer I lent it to and another I accidently left in a car,or course it was not returned. I guess I cant say the all the issues were of a technical type. You dont have to install the electricity, the battery makes it on demand. When you use the battery, you change the chemistry of the acid and the plates. When you recharge it, the chemistry goes back to the way it was. The charging system isnt made to charge too fast and probably cuts off long before 36 hours on a new jump starter. If you dont have a second car it seems like a good deal to me. In my case the car wouldnt start with a relatively new battery, and for no reason apparent to me I didnt leave the lights on and it was about 45 degrees out. I can tell you that I would figure it out rather than trusting the lights. Heres why - I have a Vector battery charger (the smart kind with multiple settings auto everything). Id set it to charge, and it would behave well (as if it was charging) but the light for fully charged would come on. Then it would charge for a while and the light would change to fault. Id test at that point and find a fully charged and functional battery. Then I purposely failed to ground it and turned it on - the light then went to charging (or whatever it says).
