Battery operated tyre inflators??

[Stevoh 44]

Hi all,

I'm looking into purchasing a small portable battery operated tyre inflator, considering the Xiaomi model in pic below, although just at the beginning of my research and open to any thoughts or or ideas you may have.

My friend has that, and it works.

 

 it will pump and stop at the PSI you set at.

 

By the way, you can get cheaper than that...do some research as it usually cost ~50 bucks Canadian.

I have a couple of these. Sorry, not self-contained battery, but bike battery...

I have the MotoPumps - Air Shot 12V Air Compressor and Stop & Go 1001 Tire Repair w/ CO2 inflator cartridges for the tubeless bikes.

 

I also have Slime 40001 Motorcycle Tire Inflator pump, which they discontinued. I left that in my Philippine home for my ADV bike there. So, I bought the above Motopump Air Shot for the USA bikes.

 

I have the  Slime 4060-A Classic Rubber Patch Kit 27-Piece for tube repairs.

 

Spare Michelin front and rear inner tubes for the T700.

Certainly cheap enough, curious to see the size of it, will drop into Repco tomorrow and have a squiz

I just use a cheap 12V compressor, strip the guts out it and connect up a switch on the base. I use an optimate connection on the flying lead and that plugs straight into the battery connection under the seat. This compressor is handy as has an inline pressure gauge, think the complete compressor can be bought for around £15. Complete kit fits neatly on top of the battery.

I did exactly the same with the Air man tour pump £19. just remove 

the outer casing and secure the switch to the pump , there are three

power hook ups included I use the crocodile clips to connect to the battery.

Meant to say, I did check the running current when it was pumping and took about 6amps so you do need to go direct to the battery with croc clips as you have or in my case through a 10amp fused lead. Think the bikes Aux socket is only fused at 2amp.

I like the idea of deconstruction to save space, some good options to explore, thanks guys.

I went this as its Heavy duty and has a great warranty.  Have been down the path of the stripped down cheap ones and found they dont last. This was under $60 and comes with a hard wire kit to battery.  Saves having to remove your seat to attach to power source. Also a neat neoprene bag to carry it in on the bike.

Perfect, done and purchased MX Store!
