Anyone know where i can buy a lead to power my pump from the 12v cigarette supply socket in the back of my van?
I only want to do this if my leisure battery dies.
Cheers for any help.

yea, this is how i run mine,  saves charging every nite  very easy to do,  hardest bit was getting the spark to make the cable for it  use 8+ amp cable,  i got spark to make mine becasue if not earth right wont work

[Llaaww]

I found an old car vac in a skip, cut the cable off that. Works fine as a backup

I bought a cig light male end to go in to mine but kept blowing the fuse in it. I put a massive screw in it in the end lol

Some you do, some you dont, youll just have to try it, usually 1 click makes them work

I have a Vyair 5 lm 100psi pump, would this provide emergency power in the event of a dead battery?

Cheers for all the help lads

u need to find out the amp of the pump   usually about 7-8 amp  so u need a bigger fuse, adn possible a bigger cable to handle the power,   i had one made by a spark and uses 17 amp speakers power cables,  i had to get it all soldered up to make it work properly, something to do with the earthing of it

[jonboywalton75]

Cheers Blue Monkey, this is my pump
