99% of jump starters fail due to a faulty or old battery. Since the small enclosed 12v batteries are generally not cost effective to replace this leaves you with a mostly functional compressor and parts.
This instructable will illustrate how to hack the jumpstarter to create a functional and portable compressor to store in your garage or tuck away in your truck for emergencies.
Note: This will without a doubt void your warranty.

Two days ago I had to repair one of those mini compressor, very bad quality.
The cylinder was grooved with the piston pin, beyond repair, so I sleeved it with thin brass sheet. I replaced the piston pin, for which I had to enlarge the hole. Now it works, but I think in a very short time will be spent newly.
