Do you have to start up your vehicle after hooking up the compressor to your battery?

no, might be a good idea, depending on the strength of your battery and how long you are going to use the compressor. but it is not "required"

No engine start mode.I use this charger on my Marine "Deep Cycle Battery", works as advertised.I've had zero problems with this charger. So far I'm satisfied with it. Knowing what I know about it I would purchase another one like it.

I have a similar compressor to that, it works for a couple turns and then has to charge up again. So the answer is yes, but it will require you to practice patience.

Yes....be sure and use isolation diode between battery and charging system as not to run down vehicle start battery

Yes. We actually have one of the older (and well used) units, so the gps battery actually doesn't hold a charge much anymore - meaning the unit is ALWAYS plugged in when in use. We've got ours plugged in to a power port that is linked to ignition, so it powers up/down on key start.

Yes . Has to be connected to power output with power only when engine run .

It should start it ok but beeee carefullllll that you match it to compressor hp size. To big of a hard start could burn up your control board like I did.

I just turn the unit on before connecting to the tire - that way it's not under a load when you turn it on. Vehicle does not need to be running.

Yes. It will start mid song where it left off. It does take a minute or so for the unit to "boot" once the car is turned on.

Not unless you want to. It runs off the car battery as supplied through the cigarette lighter (accessory power outlet). Depending on he vehicle, you may have to have the ignition key turned to the on position to have access to battery power, but you don't necessarily have to have the engine running. I would only run the engine if your battery power is low or if you're going to spend forever inflating multiple items.

no, plugs into your lighter port. unless your lighter port does not stay on if your is not running.

Depends on what and how long your running. I was able to jump start my Toyota about four times before I needed to recharge it.

No, you have to pull it to start. But it's still running great and starts on the first pull almost every time.

The instruction manual actually states to NOT have your engine running...which surprised me. However, I run my compressor for 10 minutes at a time to fill an 8-gallon portable air tank and it's never run down my Tundra battery.

The batteries will probably handle it. The limiting factor will the the inverter's ability to handle the starting current surge when the compressor kicks in.

The compressor doesn't have a battery. It runs off the 12 volt port (cigarette lighter) in your vehicle.

There's an on switch and needs to be "ON" to start the battery. Beware of this unit though. The tire inflator only lasted through a couple of uses and then stopped working. I wouldn't recommend buying it at all.
