Hi folks,
I'm looking to buy a portable air compressor to maintain the tires. The one I'm looking at (Viair 78P, if anyone's curious) requires 15 amps. I was under the impression most cars' cigarette lighter can handle 15 amps. However I decided to double check the manual and was surprised that it read "no greater than 120 W (DC 12 V, 10 A)."
Am I incorrect to assume most cars can handle 15 amps or is the CX-5 just different?
Thanks for the help!
