Connecting a compressor to battery with clips??

[Rupert]

OK, I have a compressor I need to connect to air tires. Are the points in the engine bay the connection point? Asking for a friend....

Yes, You could use the jump points or the cigarette socket depending on your compressor. My emergency/portable compressor uses the cigarette socket.

yep ideal. Using the cig. lighter plug may be problematic. The single cyl ARB compressor, for example, can pull 20+ amps.

Very nice of you to lend your compressor to a friend

Yea man, anytime. You should check out the link above. All four tires at once and it is super fast. all 4 tires in about 4 minutes from 20 pounds to 40.

I'll be right over...

Morrflate is a great device. Same concept is sold by many brands and plenty of YouTube vids on how to make your own if you're handy.

I quite like the two-tyre options because I tend to run my front tyres at a different pressure than the rears if I'm loaded heavy or towing. Two-way has less hoses to store and no real time or effort for me to move the chucks one time. You can do split front to rear pressures using a four-way device with a bit of management.

Yessir, I agree on your point. The mohrflat comes with a pretty hadny gadget allowing the differing levels in each tire . I too run dofferent levels in front and rear depending, but you are spot on regarding the hose storage. My daily is a Land Cruiser, and the space in it is a far cry from the voluminous space in the Grenny - so the hose storage is not as big of a deal anymore. Took up half of my large drawer in my LC.

Can safely say I missed that feature in the Morrflate. It's like they already planned for that requirement

Check your current draw before plugging into the ciggy socket.
My dual compressor draws 90Amps at startup and 50Amps when in use; I use the engine jump posts and have the engine running.

I installed a NATO connector on my compressor. It works perfectly with the 500A outlet.

This is exactly what I've been wanting to do with my compressor. Are there any special tools needed to connect the NATO plug? Do you just strip the wires and then solder them to the plug?

I hope to know how to connect the NATO plug and where to purchase parts.

I had the cables soldered in.
