Inflates a 195/65 R15 car tire from 30 to 36 PSI in under 1 minute. Maximum continuous operating time: 15 minutes. Weight: 3.1 lbs (1.4 kg). Available as single unit, 2-pack, or 3-pack.
150 PSI. 1-Minute Inflation. Auto-Shutoff at Target Pressure — DC12V, No Battery to Charge or Replace.
The HC-CZ2201 runs on DC12V from your car’s 12V outlet — no lithium-ion battery to charge, degrade, or fail in cold weather. The 120W motor delivers 34L/min at 2.5 bar, inflating a standard car tire from 30 to 36 PSI in under 1 minute. Set your target pressure on the digital display, connect to the valve stem, and the auto-shutoff stops inflation exactly at the target — no over-inflation, no guessing. The one-touch cord control keeps the 13ft cable managed between uses. The built-in LED covers nighttime roadside use. Pressure units switchable between PSI, KPA, BAR, and KG/CM² with memory function that retains your last setting.

Use, Safety & Storage Considerations
- Power Source: DC 12V car outlet (cigarette lighter socket) — verify your vehicle’s 12V outlet is rated for at least 10A before use
- Continuous Use Limit: 15 minutes maximum per session — allow unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before resuming; exceeding this limit may trigger thermal protection or reduce motor lifespan
- Auto-Shutoff: Set target pressure before connecting to valve stem — unit stops at target; do not leave unattended during inflation if target is set above recommended tire pressure
- Valve Stem: Schrader valve compatible (standard car, motorcycle, and most bike tires) — Presta valve (road bikes) requires a separate adapter not included
- Cold Weather: DC12V design maintains performance in cold conditions where lithium-ion battery units may lose capacity
- Storage: Built-in nozzle compartment keeps attachments secure; one-touch cord control manages the 13ft cable for compact storage in trunk or garage
- What's in the Box: HC-CZ2201 tire inflator, nozzle attachments, product manual (confirm full attachment kit contents with product manual)
