Following my recent successful post asking for advice about portable

recommendations (or what to avoid) for a battery operated air
compressor for car tyres?
Looked for a Lidl one but there doesn't seem to be one at the moment.
It was only last week that they were available. They are very guilty of pulling the ads off their site when they are still available in-store so worth a look there, particularly in a bigger store. Bear in mind that my negative experiences described in that thread relate to a Lidl device,
albeit in Scotlandshire in sustained sub-zero temperatures but on a
modern,
well maintained car.
Ah, looking again I see it claims improved low tempreature performance
by the use of Lithium-Cobalt(III)-Oxide (LiCoO2) batts over Lith-ion so
may be worth a punt if you find one.
Here's a copy of the (deleted) page in case it helps:

My Makita batteries are very near end of life.
That's going to be the financial hit . . .
A bit of thread drift perhaps?
I was looking for an air compressor which used my existing Lidl drill batteries.
Much like the other options described up thread.

P.S. there was a Lidl jump starter pack for £30+ the other day. Didn't
check if it was also a tyre inflator.
