GX Pump L3

[JimNM]

Thanks Allan. I will take a look and see if I can offer anything positive to the discussion. If I can't, I won't pollute it with my drivel.

Having now watched the video clip (Thanks again Allan) ... I already have an 500 watt A/C power supply that can deliver over 15v constant, adjustable by an potentiometer. I will get in touch with Target Forge if and when I pursue this further.

Shoot'em good

I've got a (single battery) GX E-L2. As well a the GX inverter for the GX Makita style battery compressors. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09V2H7ZDM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Its output is 17.0v.

The two battery compressor runs at 18v, not 36v. You could run it with just one battery installed, if you wanted.

Thanks for answering the question about voltage and the follow-up question about series vs parallel battery configuration.

Jim it's all good, when I initially saw your response it was when I was reading my emails, I thought it was in response to the gx thread stickied to to top of compressor forum. That's the reason for my initial response. Although I bought the inverter for my unit (no it is not included) I have yet to pull it out of the box. It is this one...

Hi Dana,

Have you done a recent dead head check on your GX-L3 pump lately? I'm curious of the time it takes your pump to reach the manufactures 300 Bar (13-18 sec) shutdown. If you have sometime, could you check your pump and let me know? You may already know this but you can get an (Makita to Dewalt) adaptor on amazon, for those user that have Dewalt tools and batteries.

I look forward to your reply and more videos. Thanks

I know this is an old post, but I just purchased one of these for use on my patio, so I don't have to keep running inside to refill airguns. Does anyone know if another brand battery will work in these? Just looking ahead at possible replacement batteries in the future.

Also, it is on sale at GX Pumps for $200 off! I got one for $359.10 after using the 10% off code: GX10OFF!

18v Makita or knockoff Makita batteries are it.

I'm pretty sure real Makita and the knockoffs won't charge on the GX charger. The GX batteries won't even clip into my Makita chargers...

There are adapters that would allow using other makes of 18v batteries. Clearance may be a problem with the dual setup.
