Need a jump starter with air compressor?
As far as car accessories go, having a way to start your battery in case of a failure is one of the most important things you can buy. You could opt for a standard 12V jump starter power pack, but there are actually several other options out there. One of the popular items you can buy now is a jump starter with air compressor features. Not only can you restart a flat battery, but also use the air compressor for crucial tasks like inflating tyres. You can also use it for camping tasks like inflating mattresses!
Different types of jump starters
There are mainly two types of jump starters with air compressors. While the power, cost and additional features all vary depending on the brand, the one key difference is the battery. Here are the two types:
· Lead acid: Lead acid jump starters are usually preferred because they are generally seen as more reliable. They deliver a charge for longer, meaning they can charge completely discharged car batteries. The other benefit is the compressor performance is usually strong.
· Lithium: Jump starters with a lithium battery are usually much smaller, so they may be popular with car owners who don’t have a lot of space in their car. They deliver a powerful charge, but usually not for very long. This is why they’re not really recommended to charge completely discharged car batteries, and generally the compressor performance isn’t as good as a lead acid one.
As you can see, there are pros and cons to each. In general, lithium starters and compressors cost more, despite not being quite as versatile as lead acid ones. This is mainly because they’re so compact. Decide which factors are most important to you, and purchase accordingly!
