Popular Questions Asked
How to choose a 12v Air Compressor?
While price is a main consideration you should also consider what you will be using your 12 volt air compressor for. The requirements of a serious 4wd enthusiast will differ from those only need to occasionally pump up a bike tyre or inflate a sports ball every now and then.
Firstly, Air pressure and what are maximum pressures your 12v air compressor will work to. Don't buy a compressor that can only inflate to that maximum pressure. Add a little reserve so you are not making the compressor work too hard. So if the item needs 30 psi get a compressor that can pump to 35 psi or better still 40 psi.
Secondly, the Duty Cycle of your 12v air compressor. When your 12v air compressor is in operation this generates heat, especially in a small air compressor that revs very fast. A thermal cut off switches off the power if it gets too hot so as to not seize up. This duty cycle is expressed as a percentage of time. If it is 75% and the cycle time is 2 minutes, then the compressor runs for 1min 30 seconds and is off for 30 seconds. This is only really important if you need to inflate all 4 SUV or 4wd tyres after offroading and won't be a consideration for basic tyre inflation.
Can I run a 12v Air Compressor off an Auxilary or Deep Cycle Battery?
Due to the limited time that these air compressors run you can run them off any 12v battery in good working order. In most cases, when out 4 wheel driving and you need to air up your tyres you will have the ability to run the engine of your vehicle to top up your car battery as the air compressor runs.
Other features you may want to consider on your 12v air compressor are whether it's a dual piston compressor which will enable quicker inflation, or the length of air hose or battery cable that enable getting to inflate all 4 wheels easily. These factors as well as air accessories and storage bags all differ according to your requirements for air inflation and frequency of use.
