Hey Maurice do you have a battery tender hooked to your battery? If so you can use an sae connector and buy a NO ONE air compressor on Amazon. I carry a plug and go tire patch kit also just in case. The hella din plug in the picture I leave plugged in it can be used to charge your phone and it shows the voltage from your alternator.
No, don't have need for tender since bike in carport, no power outlet. Wouldn't anyway as I did for years and would rather just get new battery a little sooner. Easier!
Also don't like the screw on connector to stem valve. Shhhhhhhhhh and then silence. Take it off.shhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I like the lever type.
Thank you man!
This is what I carry. Been giving them away at the RAA East events for the last few years. They came out of auction cars that had to have a spare and tools before they could go to our sales lot.
I still have a couple of them in the toolbox. You can have one if ya want it, although the shipping from NC might make it cheaper to buy what you like locally @maurice . Never had an issue with it running the battery down personally.

For HOME use I bought a small compressor with a tank. It will happily fill a couple of car tyres. Plug it in inside, fill the tank - unplug, wheel it out and Bob's your uncle. Was on sale at the local equivalent of Home Depot. As a plus you'll have air for all sorts of other stuff. I do have power in the carport and garage, but it's useful as hell to have a tank.
But at the end that is mostly the smallest problem:
- as we have several cars, motorcycles and bicycles, it is used quite often - we use it as a measuring device, too
- it has a battery level indicator
- the battery is interchangeable
And the most important point: our neighbours found out that I have this device - actually all of them love me even more than before...
Oh, and it always carries the cable to connect it directly to the cigarette lighter in the car, if it really runs out of power...

Just bought one of these rechargable ones from ebay. Good quality but will need panniers or backpack to carry it
