How come you can't simply plug this into an outlet?

Power from the battery or from the cigarette lighter is the way when you are on the road. You never know when you can get near a place to plug into an outlet.

Because it's meant to be an on-the-road field unit. No outlets there. You can even wire it permanently into your vehicle.

This compressor does not have car outlet plug. It draws more current than most car outlets can support. It attaches directly to the car battery. There are other models that have outlet plugs if that is your preference. It is not meant for your home outlet either as it is a12V DC unit.

Because it draws too much current and would keep blowing fuses. The better compressors will clamp onto the battery to keep that from happening.

you need a outlet or you can wire it direct but it has to be 110 120 volts to work. Batteries will not work. hope this helps you. Jack

As far as I know you would just need an outlet adapter. I've read that'll be all you need. Hope that helps!

I don't see why not you just have to get an adapter so you are able to plug it in.

I believe there are NO available direct to AC outlet power supplies for this unit.

Yes nick. It clearly states on the product page all you need is an outlet to plug it in.Seriously people, stop being so disgusting and rude about this product!

It is possible to hook up an external battery pack, it'd be a diy project though. Otherwise, like the other guys said, you're stuck with having to have a power outlet

This device is not a separate power switch, plug in the socket is appropriate use directly. People think is not very convenient.

You can plug it into an electric outlet but it doesn't come with an adapter

would be safer to plug directly to wall outlet...this is why the cord is so long and why it is such so desirable.

Sorry, don't know. It is a regular plug in. If you have an adapter you may be able to.

It's just a switching power supply but, for the cost of the plug adapter, it might make sense to find a similar product to plug directly into your outlet. Yea, it will work.

It only plugs into a computer via a short USB cable. It doesn't accept an adapter for connecting to an outlet.

You probably already tried this, add power to the adapter. it only works when it has power.

You would have to buy an adapter for a USB plug in order to charge in a wall outlet. It's too bad that's not included in box considering the price tag.
