will this adapter work to plug an electric tire inflator into,and inflate a tire via the cigarette lighter adapter?

Yeah at 120V at 3amps that's a 360watt draw so 300watt won't work -- a 600watt power inverter should work ok. Good luck with that..Paul

I would check the wattage of your electric inflater. This is rated for up to 150 watts. If you are below that is should work nicely for you. Good luck!

Yes. What ever takes 110 can be plugged into it. But, I had to return mine. It quit working. If you are going to use it often or use things that draw a lot of voltage, I suggest you get a heavy duty one. I also suggest that you have your vehicle running, to avoid draining your battery.

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.

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.

It will work but you have to limit your inverter AC load usage to no more than 120W or the fuse of the cig lighter will blow. Most cig lighters are rated at around 10-15A. If it was me I would limit the inverter AC load usage to 100-110W to give yourself a buffer. Good luck!

I don't think it would work well to inflate a tire. You'd need an adapter for one thing, and I think the total pressure produced is probably too low. I'd recommend you buy a combination tire inflator/battery jumper and keep it in your car.

Yes but you have to buy that adapter seperate. It comes with the cigarette lighter plug though. I havent bought the adapter for AC outlet cause I only need the DC plug for my semi so I dont even know how much one cost. Its a nice cooler though, perfect for me!

Most likely it won't. These air pumps need high amerage /current which these basic dc adapter are not build for, this would give less than one amp current( please check amperage on both devices)voltage would match but current would not give enough power to blow air to fill up mattress. I tried emergency tire inflator with negative results. Check what others experienced. Mine may be an odd case

Yes if you mean a cig lighter power adapter. It also doubles as a traffic receiver.

yes as long as its a cigarette outlet shaped plug or if you have an ac converter for your car. It will work

Marsha, I would say if your air pump runs off your vehicle cigarette lighter, it should work with this device. I would see if you can determine the amps needed to run your pump and see if the device will support it. I wish I could give you a better answer than that.

Hi Malcolm, as far as I know this device does need a cigarette lighter connection. I believe that's the only way it will work. I hope this helps. :-)

No it connects to the vehicle cigarette lighter port. And it inflates and deflates very quickly.

No it will not work. This converter has a max amp of 7.5amps I think. I used it on a small tire inflator and sometimes it works. Seems like you have to wait for the capacitors inside to fully charge or somewhat then it will work if it wants to. Also have a 10amp tire inflator and can't even pump over with this convertor. Should have returned it but maybe it will come use full someday. Good luck!

The tire inflator gets power from the cigarette lighter plug, so as long as the key is turned to a place where the cigarette lighter plug is on, you should be ok.

Yes, read discription, adapter for plugging into AC and cord for plugging into 12V DC car cigarette lighter receptacle.

Yes, that's the adapter I purchased and it works well. It allows you to connect to standard electrical outlets.

If the adaptor worked it would. But the first time I used it with a camera battery charger, it sparked and started smoking!! I had to return it. Use another brand.
