- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Close enough. Would probably be higher due to losses in the equipment. And all that would take up a lot more storage space, also.You'd need a fairly substantial hard wired inverter and at that point you're spending more than the compressor just to power it. No way an inexpensive cigarette lighter powered inverter would do trick. A good pancake compressor pulls about 400 watts at 110v meaning the inverter would need to be rated above that and would be using like 35-40 amps from the 12v battery if my terrible math is right...
