Hi I purchased a nomad battery but my question is
Can I run my ARB Compressor from the 20 amp output, the average amps drawn with start up is 27 amp then running at 18 amp, while pumping up tyres. There is lots of stop and start with pumping tyres, would this out put cope?
The Nomad is limited to 25amp draw. You will need to confirm with ARB if your compressor exceeds this
Hi there, does this charge off the alternator or the car battery?
Looking into this for my Jimny!
