Recommendations for Battery Powered Air Compressor

[Steelontarget]

My superlative skills at searching the internet have failed to give me any information. So, as the title indicates, I'm seeking recommendations for a PCP compressor that is powered by a rechargeable battery or batteries. I've seen some videos in passing but they don't have much information.

I have a Vevor compressor which uses 110VAC or 12V car battery. When I go out to a rural location without electrical power, I use the car's electrical system to power the compressor.

However, I'm researching some more flexibility with a compressor that uses a rechargeable power supply.

Many thanks in advance.

Figure how long the Battery will power the compressor when your filling your gun ?. How long a shelve life the batteries stay @ full charge ? What is the weight with 2 sets of batteries to carry around ?
The big question i would ask my self is how much am i really going to use this ?

There's none on the market I know of, I think Vevor has one in a catalog, but I've never seen it for sale, prolly because the batts didn't last. Another option is a scuba tank with a transfill regulator.

This may be what you are looking for. I have read good things about this particular battery powered compressor but have no experience: (https://gxpumpofficial.com/collecti...500psi-320bar-32mpa-set-pressure-auto-shutoff ) . I can vouch for the GX CS3-I though as mine has been running trouble free for the last 3 seasons.

Bill over at Target Forge ( https://targetforge.net/ ) also carries parts and is good about answering questions via email.

Haha, beat me to it

I will use this in an emergency. I prefer dry air from my tanks, but if the tank get low, i have a backup. Don't forget a good filter from Joe B.

GX has a battery powered model on their website that uses batteries like you use with a drill. Someone not long ago on this site showed he runs his GX pump on a drill battery. Mark

I'd recommend the GX duel battery compressor, it's got the auto shutdown for the fill pressure..

Many thanks for the responses. I will be researching these.

 

[Trucker3573]

100% the gx options.

 

[BSJ]

Yeah GX EL2.
Get the GX filter too.

 

[Steelontarget]

I was looking on the web site for extra batteries. It looks like they don't sell them. Is there a place where I could get a couple of extra batteries or are they also marketed under another brand name, such as Milwaukee?

 

[BSJ]

They are 18v Makita style batteries.

I have the GX E L3 duel battery compressor. This thing works great. I use it for direct fill to my BRK Ghost. Really good unit. I also have their new filter that I run with it. Both the compressor and the filter are outstanding.

I made my own battery supply for my GX CS2. I wrote a thread about it earlier this year. I have a lot of Milwaukee 18V batteries so that is what I used. All you need is a 18V-12V step down converter and a battery dock. I got both in a set from Amazon for about $20. I don't think Milwaukee batteries are ideal for this but they work. They have a protective circuit that looks for a Milwaukee tool to be attached. But I can still fill a gun at least 6 times on a battery. I put on a voltage meter and stop using the battery when the voltage falls too far. I am not sure the built in protective circuit works for my Milwaukee batteries but by monitoring voltage and quiting early I am pretty sure I don't hurt my batteries. They also show no signs of issues. But if you have DeWalt or Makita or other power tool batteries they would probably be better.

My step down converter is only rated at 240W if I remember right and the CS2 is supposed to be 250W but that has not created any issue. If your Vevor is no bigger it should work. Otherwise you will need a bigger step down converter. They are available but cost more.

I also spent another $10 or so to have red and black colored terminals to error proof the connections. Small project that works very well.
