[Johncharr21]

Hello everyone I bought a Snap-On jumper model EEJP600i110 for 50 dollars on OfferUp I figured it didint so I still went ahead and bought it the guy swore to me it worked but when I tried to put in the aux charger to charge my phone it wouldn’t charge.. i also tried putting it in my car batter it does read the amps but doesn’t charge.. my biggest concern is it worth fixing does it need a new battery and is the battery cheap. Ect.. Made a YouTube video to show you guys
But the forum won’t let me post the link message me and I’ll send it to you

The battery is probably smoked. There's a reason they only come with a 1 year warranty. If it was so dead that it wouldn't even indicate it worked it some way then the battery is smoked.

open it uo and look at the battery.

and give the offer up guy a bad mark

That's a starter with old old technology, which is beaten by a portable $50 Li-Ion battery jumpstarter from Costco, and it can fit in the glove box. In terms of money/performance, it's not worth it.

If you like to fix stuff, it seems a fun project. I would open it up to see if there is any fuse blown. Then test the charging circuit to see if the circuit works. Then I would even try to rebuild the Lead Acid battery, such as change the acid mix in it.

Sounds like you might have bought a dud. If you’re up for a project you might be able to get it up and running again.

open it up, find the battery it takes and replace.
