Portable 12V tyre inflator

The XtremepowerUS NP-268 plugs into a vehicle cigarette-lighter socket and runs on 12 V DC power. It inflates car, bicycle, sedan and mid-size SUV tyres with engines up to 3.5 litre. A universal Schrader connector plus needle and cone adapters cover sports balls and pool toys. The unit does not support light-truck or heavy-duty truck tyres.

Thermals noise and power

Current draw ranges from 10 to 15 amps at 120 to 180 watts while the compressor delivers 1.06 CFM up to 70 PSI. An automatic shut-off stops the motor once the preset pressure is reached, and overheat protection cuts power if the unit overloads. A built-in LED torch adds visibility during roadside use.

Upgrade considerations

This inflator replaces a manual foot pump or a basic analogue compressor for drivers who want digital pressure read-out in PSI, KPA, BAR and KG/CM. The jump is worthwhile if you need preset shut-off and a bright torch for night emergencies. It is not for owners of LT or HT truck tyres or anyone requiring 24 V or 110 V AC operation.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the NP-268 to my vehicle and what step is often missed?

Plug the 12V DC cigarette lighter socket plug into the vehicle accessory socket; the step often missed is verifying the socket supplies at least 10 amps and that the 15-amp fuse on the power cable is intact.

What maintenance or replacement will the NP-268 need later?

The oil-less compressor requires no oil changes; periodically inspect the 15-amp fuse on the power cable and keep the spare fuse accessible for replacement if it blows.

What limit appears first when running the NP-268 continuously?

The overheat protection shuts the unit off automatically when the motor overloads, and the maximum working pressure is capped at 70 PSI.
