Mistakes when using mini car pumps cause "cars" to quickly deteriorate
Although electric mini car pumps are quite convenient, if drivers do not know how to choose and use them, they will be extremely harmful to both the car and their own safety.
One of the most common accidents that happen on a road trip is a punctured tire. This causes the tire pressure to drop slowly. Punctures caused by larger objects can cause the tire pressure to drop more quickly, or even lose pressure instantly.
In addition to such incidents, drivers should also check tire pressure regularly, maybe once a month. Standard pressure (usually written on the sticker on the edge of the door) will help the car run most smoothly, the tires last the longest and also achieve the best fuel efficiency.
The most effective support tool is the car electric pump. However, not everyone chooses the right car electric pump that they really need, and the result is that it costs money and is quickly "thrown away", or affects the car's electrical system while in use, causing unsafety when participating in traffic.
Plugging into the 12V port affects the electrical system.
The electric mini car pump type usually uses a plug into the 12V charging port on the car, but the disadvantage of this type of pump is that it will affect the electrical system inside the car, causing damage and fire.

No power control when pumping
With the type of pump that takes power from the battery, most drivers will make this mistake, which is not controlling the power source when pumping. Therefore, there are many cases where drivers do not understand why after pumping, the car cannot start. The main reason is that the battery is too old, the ability to store electricity is poor, so after pumping, the engine cannot start.
Choose a car pump that is too small
It is called a mini car pump but it is only suitable for small cars, not for large trucks so you have to choose the type proportional to the tire.
According to car experts, the amount of air in a truck tire can be twice or three times more than that in a small car tire. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate electric car pump based on the type of vehicle. If you choose a small car tire pump, you must ensure that the pump capacity is high to avoid the pump burning out while pumping.
There are many types of mini car pumps on the market today with diverse designs, expensive and cheap prices. Therefore, depending on your needs and personal conditions, you choose the appropriate pump.
