Battery Tire Inflator
Anyone have a Battery Tire Inflator. I've used my combo jumper cable/Inflator a few times and ended up needing it when battery was too low to use so I want to get a separate tire inflator. I use it mostly for topping off. Must work on tires up to 60 lbs.
If you have one could you help out with the following:
1. Brand and Model
2. Noise level
Any other comments?
Thanks

I have a 12v inflator that’s about 10 yrs old. But that’s all it does. My tires need 110 psi. I also carry a booster that will start my diesel TV when needed and other than supplying a USB to charge a cell or tablet that’s all it does.

I have a Viair 400 and it works great. Up to 150psi. Runs off the vehicle battery. I found straight battery inflators couldn't handle the higher pressures.

I carry a battery booster/inflator in the truck all the time, and had to use it for the first time on a friend's flat TT tire. It was working, but slowly, and would shut down when it began to overheat from constant running. I ended up getting an air tank from the park maintenance shop to get it pumped up.
I don't have a Viair unit yet, but it's on my list, and many folks here swear by them. A little pricy, but you get what you pay for. I've burned up a few of the cheapy pumps.

I have one I got at WallyW that will inflate my dually tires made by the Slime tire sealant folks. It's not fast but it will take my Sailun 5er tires to 90psi or higher without overheating.

I keep a DeWalt 20V LION inflator in the trailer. It uses the same battery pack as my other DeWalt tools, plus has a 12v accessory adapter, and if you want one, an optional 110v adapter. There is a small LED light in the handle and an adjustable cutoff setting plus a high volume inflation tube that we use to inflate my youngest daughter's kayaks in just a few minutes. Rated up to 160psi and does a nice job on the trailer and truck tires. I will say that the run time on the LION battery pack seems a bit short, but in most cases where I just need a few lbs in each tire one battery pack handles it.

^^This...my power tools are all Dewalt, so I already have all the batteries. One of the larger FlexVolt batteries will fill all 4 of my ST tires to 100 PSI and still have battery left over.
