Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2016I've been trawling the Internet for some considerable time to find a power converter that is capable of powering my air compressor. After much browsing, I came across this product. To the best of my knowledge, at this size, this is the only AC to DC converter that is powerful enough to supply 120W (150W max) power at 10A. The female lighter socket can also be used to power air compressors, car refrigerators, car cleaners, tyre inflators and other DC appliances.
I purchased the Ring RAC900 Heavy Duty Tyre Inflator. This is a fantastic little compressor which is capable of inflating any size car tyre including truck tyres in very little time. It is available on ÍøÆغÚÁÏ, refer to link: [...]
The only issue is that the compressor will only work when it is hooked-up directly to the car battery. It will not work via standard car cigarette lighter socket. A regular car socket cannot deliver enough current to power the compressor for continuous operation.
After purchasing the RoyPow power converter I also bought a cigarette lighter socket extension cable which was rated to 15A i.e. the maximum power of the converter. The extension cable is also available on ÍøÆغÚÁÏ, link: [...]
At this point I had all the necessary tools to do the modification. I hard wired a set of cables from the compressor 12v battery clips to the car socket cable so that the compressor could be powered via standard 3 pin home plug. It worked a treat. Now I can use my compressor for inflating air beds, swimming pools etc directly from a wall socket using my existing heavy duty air compressor.
I purchased this item at full price. If the product is unworthy of a good review, I think it is unfair to leave positive feedback as this can mislead potential buyers. I hope you found the review helpful. [...]
