Can I recharge the battery of the portable compressor in a 120 v. outlet at home ?

I do not know of a way to use 120 v. outlet. No adapter orplug can with the unit. However, it does very well in thecar's electrical plug and the long cord is a big plus.

You can only use this portable air compressor when you plug it into the 12 volt outlet of the automobile's accessory outlet (formaly the cigarette lighter outlet).

The compressor doesn't have a battery. It runs off the 12 volt port (cigarette lighter) in your vehicle.

Yes, this portable charger can be charged in a 220V outlet. Thank you for your question.

I used my rad "12 volt " compressor yesterday on 2 different vehicles. I use an adapter that clamps directly to the 12 volt car battery. The voltage in your home is "110 volts " and would have to adapted / reduced to "12 volts ". Hope this helps!JB

Not directly, but (just as Ron Coleman suggested) you can using something like this: Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter

Ohms law says amps X Volts = Watts, So with the information provided the compressor runs on 120 volts at 15 amps will be 1800 watts. However when this compressor motor starts under a load I'll bet it spikes upwards of 20 amps probably around 30 amps so if your going to use a power inverter to run this compressor better be a good one ! At least 3600 watts at the minimum

This unit doesn't take a charge. It converts 12 dcv to 110 acv, so one can plug household things into it where there are no outlets like in a boat or in your car.

Recharging with ac just means you can buy an ac wall charger that converts 120v ac to 12v dc. Essentially all batteries charge off doc current

No. The Master Flow compressors are designed for use with automotive electrical systems only. Its rated 15 Amps and 12-14 volts DC. True DC motors wont work with AC current anyway. There are small portable compressors rated for 120v like the one by Goodyear. If you want to plug into the wall I would suggest getting one with a tank aswell.

I assume that the portable air compressor uses more than one amp or 1000mah.

This radio has rechargable batteries and and an adapter to charge them, so if the device you mention has 120volt output, yes you can.

120v, you should know that this unit is for very light work, very light work (hint, hint)

The compressor will come with plugs. You would plug in the outlets that are not needed.

I have a 120VAC outlet. The unit is plugged directly into that with the power cord that was attached at the factory.

You don't need a transformer if your compressor specifications are 120 V and 1 Amp. You can plug it to a wall plug and it should work. But if the AC plug on the wall is 220v and you need to use the down converter to make your compressor work at 120 volts then You need to use the electrical formula which is P = E x I. P is the Power in Watts, E is the voltage of 110 Volts I is the current of 1 Amp. so P is = to 110 Volts to 120 Volts x by 1 Amp which is equal to Approximately 120 Watts. So if you buy a 300 Watts transformer it should be enough. Now you could also use the 500 watts if you are using your compressor for long hours to minimize the overheating of the transformer.

If you have a 12V outlet (like in your RV or car), you can certainly connect this to the 12V supply. I think everything is pointing out that your electrical outlet inside your house is 120V AC. And you can't plug this directly into that socket, but I think you already know that.

It draws 14 amps, so it will work from just about any outlet w/o tripping the house breakers. I used my compressor in virtually every room in my house, while installing 3/4" hardwood flooring (very demanding task for any portable compressor) and never had an issue. This has been a great little workhorse for all my DIY projects and have never had an issue, sans a very rare thermal trip breaker on the compressor when I get a little too demanding. It's a safety feature so you don't overheat the motor. It's a cinch to reset though. Hope this helps.

Yes - You are correct. The battery will overheat and it can be damaged! Try using a thermostatically controlled outlet like Farm Innovators model TC3-3545 as long as the 120V receptacle (or thermostat) in the same general area as the battery.
