mini compressor adapter?

Dougie D · Dec 29, 2016

looking at all the mini compressors that are available and they all seem to have the cigarette lighter lead ,i was looking for a small compressor that i can take when i'm touring that would plug into my optimate lead,is there an adapter for this?

Cut off the lighter plug and attach a couple of crocodile clips.

yes could do that i guess, just thought it would be easier if i could just plug it into my optimate lead?

Have you got a couple of leads for the optimate Dougie? I had one with the crocodile clips and 1 to connect straight to the battery. If you have those too, I put the one lead on my battery and the one with the crocodile clips on I cut the croc clips off the optimate lead and the hella plug off the compressor leaving tails on all of them and used some of those crimp bullet connectors so I can inter change them. That way I can put the optimate connector on the compressor to plug into my bike and also have the option to use the croc clips and the hella plug too.

You just need to work out which has to have the female connectors and which has the male ones

EDit: test it to make sure you've got the polarity correct

Hi Dougie,

Have a look in the "Gadgets" section. I posted a thread a few months ago for a lead that plugs into your Optimate lead. It has a cigar lighter adaptor on the other end for a compressor or phone charger etc.

Here's mine but they do one for the older style optimate lead with a white plug. Mine was £10.99 from M&P via their Ebay site. The older style lead is just under £10.

Mr Orange was gonna knock one up for 2 shillings & sixpence? If he did? Maybe he could make you one aswell?

Come independance - we'll have him marched south and thrown over the wall. How can he claim to be from Scotland when he's just chucking money around like this !!!!!

Next thing we know, he'll be at the B*W mothership, ticking all the option boxes including the one for cigar socket at £109.99 !!!!!

The shame of it

Got my little socket thingy for £1.29, never did do anything with it, but I'm sure it'll be useful one day. I blame you lot for making me spend all that money for no reason, just told it would be 'usefull', threw away over a pound!!! I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat, thinking about how i wasted a full £1.29
I'll be thrown out of the Misers Club if they ever find out
