12-VOLTAIR
TESTIMONIALS
“The 12-Voltair compressor is the best tool I have purchased for my harvest operation in years. I used it everyday for the whole 2005 season. The ability to have air anytime and without having to start a gas engine was great. This unit was easy to install and takes up very little space. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs air on a daily basis. This is a great product.”

Battery facts
1. The OEM (Original Equipment Battery) that came with the purchase of your vehicle is only designed to keep up with the demand of the vehicle. For optimum performance, Voltair recommends replacing your battery with a battery that is rated with 120 or more minutes of reserve.
2. The alternator that comes standard in most vehicles will charge between 40-50 amps at a vehicle idle. Since the Voltair draws 80 amps when in use, Voltair recommends a good battery and in some cases a second battery may be necessary.
3. Voltair recommends a battery with 120 or more minutes of reserve. The 12-Voltair air compressor does not need cranking amps for optimum performance, but it does need battery reserve.
4. Over time a battery’s ability to hold a full charge greatly diminishes. A lead battery may need to be replaced every 2 years and an optima battery may need to be replaced every 4 years.
5. If you are using or planning to use the 12-Voltair for more than 3-4 hours on a day-to-day basis adding a second battery will help in achieving optimum performance
