I have a 14 foot inflatable duckie that I normally pump up using the car adapter from my cigarette lighter. Will this pump be sufficient?

I believe so, because have inflated a 5 person towable water tube with no problem.
2049944
I have an 8 foot long inflatable swan and it had no problem at all, so I think it shouldn't be a problem.

This pump should be sufficient. It is high pressure and runs on 110 volt not battery. It should take about 3-5 minutes to fill.

Oh...and the pump strength is DEF not as strong. I'd recommend the car charger over the battery pack if you are wanting to pump in the car. The car adaptor isn't QUITE as strong either, but it's way better than the battery pack. Battery pack is good in a pinch though.

I believe (and I am by no means an electrician)...that the 9v applies to your pump...not your car. Under the knob that turns on your pump...it will say how many volts. You are not to exceed that when it comes to the plug. The larger end of the lighter adapter is usually a device that converts the current so that your 12v car will not fry your 9v pump. Or something to that extent. Either way....this is what I use...and I have had no problems. A little "google" research might help. I do believe that I read this somewhere back in the day when I first purchased mine because I remember reading that it does increase the speed and suction a bit, but that it is ok to use.

I am using this convertor for a 12 volt, 8 amp Slime air pump which also runs from the cigarette lighter in the car. This was the only converter that I found with this high amp rating, all others were much lower. You really need to know the ampere specification to make your final decision.

from the wattage which is about 700 it would have to be just under 1 horsepower- why? A car/pickup system cannot handle running the inflator- don't try it

As Jonathan said it will only plug into the cigarette lighter outlet in a vehicle Vivian. I also bought the foot pump and it works well. If you're using an air mattress in the house I'd just get the foot pump.....Ed

Jamie, I bought mine to use as a conduit for an Android, since the charging plug does not fit into an iphpne plug outlet in the car. But it should work on anything that has an outlet plug @ 110-120 volts. You will have to look at your user's manual to see if the reduction in voltage from 110 AC (home) to 12 VDC (car battery) will affect your pump. You don't want to damage it. I don't use a breast pump, so I can't answer that directly. If your pump works on the electric outlet in your home, it should work.

Yes, although it doesn't move a whole lot of air on the pumping, you could pump tires up with it. It just might take a while though but it's really compact. I recommend getting the CO2 cartridge kits. They're really compact and much faster.

Yes Robert - but you will need a special adapter for the cigarette lighter in the car to connect a household DC adapter to the adapter in the cigarette lighter - your best bet is to go to an electronics store with the player to make sure you get one that will fit and work for you

Yes, I think it would work very well for that. I used mine to remove gasoline from a snow blower at the end of the season. In case you are unsure of its size, the pump is 24 inches long and the attached hose is 24 inches long.

Yes it will. I inflated my ,car tire to 34psi and it took about 10 minutes,so double that time.

After seeing Vicky's response, I see what you were asking now. However that wall plug only supplies 500ma. The compressor is fused at 20 amps and most cigarette lighters supply 10-15 amps. Therefore the adapter wont supply enough current to drive the compressor or may even blow the adapter's fuse. Looks like its designed to drive phone chargers and electronic devices. If there is one that supplies the equivalent amperage as a normal cigarette lighter socket then go for that one.

It might but would have to know the current draw of the tire inflator to know for sure. This inverter is for 150w max power draw. If you use the formula Watts=Volts x Amps then 150W/120V equals a max current draw of 1.25 amps. Remember this is max current draw and the inverter will probable overheat if powering this load for more than a minute or two. If your inflator draws 0.625 amps (50% of max rating) or less this power inverter should work ok. I am guessing that your inflator draws way more than this so I would recommend a much higher wattage power inverter.

This model did not come with an adapter. The alligator clips only work on the car battery. I wouldn't recommend hooking them up to the cigarette lighter fuse. Hope that helps. Good Luck. It's a great little machine and pumps fast even when the car is turned off.

Sure if you attach to your car battery with installed alligator clips. Very fast for inflating and deflating and multiple attachment points for output, so depending on your particular air mattress valve, you should be good.

That's what I needed for and the instructions stated it could but it didn't work. It hardly pumped out any air. So I checked my air pump instructions and it stated that if that happened it's because the adapter is not powerful enough. Hope that helps.

The amplifier is powered by 12v DC @2 amp. The AC adapter that comes with the unit provides 10-14.4 DC volts (I verified this with a voltmeter). Because I have no reason to, I have not tried to connect the amplifier to a cigarette lighter adapter. I do believe however, that it should work. I don't believe a power inverter is necessary, just a simple adapter connector from the lighter to the amplifier. As far as hooking it up to audio equipment in a car or truck, that would depend on what you have.
