Suggestion

These units have a internal battery (mine has an 18Ah one) and they are recharged using a 230v 'wall wart' charger that gives out 12v at about 500ma, so recharge in a couple of hours or so.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

does anybody know of any devices for putting air into tyre's, would make checking and topping them up a lot easier than having to go to a garage every week.

POST 2Original post

How about the one you should have in your tool kit? [ ]

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thought they were a use once thing, but better have a look at the manual now[ ]not really delved in that bit of the car yet[ ]

POST 4Original post

If you don't like the car one, this is very good. http://www.tyresonline.net/shop_details.asp?productID=797&productName=Michelin_High_Power_Digital_Tyre_Inflator/Compressor

POST 5Original post

The one in your toolkit is very good as it's very fast, but you'll need to get a seperate gauge as the built in one isn't accurate

POST 6Original post

I use a combined 12 volt jumpstart/compressor to top up my tyres. They are very easy to carry around the car to inflate each tyre as required. You can also buy small compressors from Halfords etc that plug into the 12 volt socket to avoid having to get to the the tool kit one. Regards, Andy L-T

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

how does it get its charge back, do you pug it in the mains?

POST 8Original post

Just edited my post to remove the link as against forum rules. These units have a internal battery (mine has an 18Ah one) and they are recharged using a 230v 'wall wart' charger that gives out 12v at about 500ma, so recharge in a couple of hours or so. They also can recharge from 12v sockets, but it takes longer this way (and will drain the donor battery). Also it's very useful to have a 12v jump start available when people have flat car batteries and for power cuts etc (they normally have a light on them). They come in various sizes/prices, so it's worth looking around for one that fits the bill. Overall, I've found mine to be pretty useful (I've had it for about 5 years), but eventually the battery will start to give out/won't take a full charge, in common with most battery types. Andy L-T

POST 9Original post

No problem with posting a link to a recommended product - as long as you aren't the one selling it!

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

how much is the wall wart charger? so you cant just plug it in to the mains to charge it then?

POST 11Original post

Thanks Richard, I've just started posting and wanted to keep to the rules/wasn't sure about posting links to commercial websites. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/jump-start-910-cw-12v-compressor/path/battery-chargers-engine-starters-2 Andy L-T

POST 12Original post

I have a brand new, unused 12v one with built in pressure gauge I can let you have for £15 + p&p. Plugs into the vehicle's power socket. PM me if you would like it. [ ] Regards, Clive

POST 13Original post

The 'wall wart' (mains) charger comes with the jump start/compressor; this plugs into a normal 3-pin 230v domestic mains socket and has a 12v connector on a lead from the wall wart that fits into a (12v) socket on the jump start/compressor. The jump start/compressor has a LED next to the where the 12v connector plugs in that illuminates to show that the unit is taking a charge. (there is also a 12v plug/connector lead to plug into a 12v car lighter socket, as per my previous post). You can just about see the LED and socket on the jump start/connector on the Machine Mart website) Hope this helps.... Andy L-T

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks andy, you have sorted 2 of my must get things for my car.[8D]

POST 17Original post

I bought a unit very similar to this for my MGF from Robert Dyas for less than £30 about a year ago. I don't know if they still do them. Certainly I have found it very reliable. Mark
