Wagan Tech Cordless Air Inflator

The Wagan Cordless Air Inflator Fills Tires to the Pressure You Set, Up to 150 PSI, From a 1 Pound Rechargeable Unit

The Wagan Cordless Air Inflator is a handheld, battery-powered air compressor rated at up to 150 PSI with 25 L/min of airflow. You set the target pressure on its LCD, pick one of four preset modes or adjust the pressure yourself, and the inflator stops automatically when it gets there. It also has a built-in LED flashlight and a USB-A port that can charge your phone.

It's made for commuting, road trips, camping, routine maintenance and roadside emergencies. Use it on car, motorcycle and bicycle tires, sports balls, pool floats and other inflatables. It weighs 1 lb and recharges over USB-C.

Wagan Cordless Air Inflator Features

Four Preset Modes or a Custom Pressure

Preset modes cover a car at 36 PSI, a motorcycle at 31 PSI, a bicycle at 30 PSI and a basketball at 8 PSI. Wagan notes these values are for reference only, so adjust them to your tire or item. Use the plus and minus buttons to set your own pressure. A short press adjusts slowly and a long press adjusts quickly.

Automatic Shut-Off

Once you set the pressure, press and hold for 5 seconds to confirm, then press the power button to start. The inflator stops on its own when it reaches the preset pressure, which helps prevent overinflation.

LCD With Four Pressure Units

The LCD shows the actual air pressure as you inflate, in PSI, BAR, kPa or kg/cm². The unit switching button cycles through them, and a 3-stage indicator shows the battery level.

Built-In LED Flashlight

The flashlight has normal, strobe and SOS modes for changing a tire at night or signaling for help. Short presses cycle through the modes, and a long press turns the light off from any mode.

USB-A Output for Small Devices

The 5V 1A USB-A port charges a phone or other small electronic device. Turn on the display and the connected device starts charging.

Easy-Locking Air Nozzle and Four Nozzles

Flip the thumb latch up, press the nozzle firmly onto the valve stem and push the latch down to lock it. Four nozzle attachments fit into the unlocked nozzle for sports balls, pool floats, beach balls and other inflatables.

Real-World Applications

Daily driving. Keep it in your vehicle to top off tires before a commute or road trip.

Bikes and motorcycles. Use the bicycle and motorcycle preset modes as a starting point, then set the pressure your tire calls for.

Sports and pool gear. Fill sports balls and pool floats with the nozzle attachments. Moisten the needle before inserting it into a ball valve.

Roadside at night. Use the solid, strobe or SOS light while you work beside your vehicle.

Practical Comparison

Cordless Air Inflator Versus a 12V Plug-In Inflator

A plug-in inflator needs your vehicle's 12V socket and a cord long enough to reach each tire. The Cordless Air Inflator runs from its own battery and adds a flashlight and a USB-A output. The tradeoff is keeping its battery charged.

Cordless Air Inflator Versus a Manual Pump

A hand or foot pump needs no charging, but you do every stroke and check the pressure yourself. This inflator shows the pressure on its LCD and stops at the target you set.

Buyer Guidance

Rest Between Long Runs

Running it continuously for more than 10 minutes may overheat the unit and damage the motor. Stop and let it cool for 15 minutes before you start again.

Charging and Care

Plug the included USB-C cable into the 5V 1A USB-C input on the bottom of the unit. The battery icon flashes while it charges, and a full charge takes approximately 3 to 5 hours. Disconnect the charger during thunderstorms, and keep the unit dry and away from heat sources and fire. Wagan lists an operating range of -4°F to 131°F, a charging range of 32°F to 131°F and a storage range of 14°F to 95°F.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You want an inflator that needs no cord
• You like preset pressures for common tires
• You want a flashlight in your roadside kit
• You'd like a backup way to charge your phone

Common Questions

How Long Does It Take to Fill a Car Tire?

Wagan lists about 6 to 7 minutes to take a 195/65R15 tire from 0 to 30 PSI and 7 to 8 minutes from 0 to 40 PSI. Topping off a 205/50R17 tire from 30 to 35 PSI takes about 90 seconds.

Can It Charge My Phone?

Yes. The USB-A output delivers 5V 1A to a phone or other small electronic device.

What Warranty Does It Have?

Wagan's manual gives the original purchaser a one-year limited warranty covering defects in material and workmanship for products sold in the United States.
