I need a battery charger/tire inflator combination. I'd prefer it to be reasonably small and reasonably lightweight. Anybody have any thoughts and/or good experiences with specifc ones? |

Yea, they're all junk.
 We tried several brands of just the jumpstart things at the racetrack, they all failed in 1 year. The only thing I can see online is: http://www.advrider.com/forums//showthread.php?t=644495 I have a 12v pump from Sears, it works but takes forever like all of them. Are the chargers you're looking at 120v.? |

Are you talking about for home use or portable for the car?

I have a battery box thing... mighty max or something? It seems to be ok. Good for car use...
I also have this cheap CutlerHammer wallmart special air compressor. Paid $20 for it 15 years ago or so and it still cranks along. |

I have a cheap portable one for the car...probably from Walmart or Target or similar..durabuilt or some name like that. I used it many times to fill up my suv tires before I had a real compressor. Cost maybe $15 or $20. No problems with it.
As far as a jumper box...I have a cheap one from Autozone. The only time I ever used it it didn't work because the van battery was so dead. Jumper cables didn't work either, though, so I can't comment on the quality. |
