MV-50 Superflow compressor power option?
Has anyone cut off the alligator clips and put on a cigarette lighter adapter?
I have the 12v lighter plug by the rear hatch and I think it would be cool to be able to run the compressor from there.
Can it carry the amps? I doubt it, but would like a few opinions and/or other inexpensive options. Thanks

It has alligator clips because of the amperage draw.

How much does a compressor like that go for

The wires going to the rear power outlet are fairly small and not large enough for the MV-50 unfortunately. You would get a significant amount of voltage drop and the wires would heat up, at least until the fuse blows.

I ran a 8awg wire to the hatch to power my MV-50 and it's been working fine for ~4 years.

Mv50 would blow fuse fast if your lucky. Put it under hood or rune big power wire from bat to back
