NOCO AIR20 portable air compressor 20 A

The NOCO AIR20 is a portable 12 V air compressor and tyre inflator with a 280 W motor. It runs from a direct connection to a 12 V battery, reaches up to 100 psi (6.89 bar, 689 kPa) and moves up to 47 l/min (1.66 CFM) of air. On a 205-65R16 95H tyre it inflates from 0 to 40 psi in 2.5 min and from 35 to 40 psi in 25 s, and one duty cycle covers five tyres. It suits tyres up to 35 in.

You set the target pressure on the digital display between 15 and 100 psi and choose psi, kPa or bar. The built-in pressure sensor and standby technology pause and resume inflation when the pump reaches the set pressure, and auto shut-off stops the unit so the tyre is not over-inflated. For anything under 15 psi, such as balls, bicycles and inflatable toys, use manual mode. The built-in LED torch has six modes, including SOS. Presta valve, needle and toy adapters and a microfibre storage bag come with it.
