Portable Car Tyre Inflator Ledvance OSRAM TYRE INFLATE 450 12V digital compressor 5.5 bar

The Ledvance OSRAM TYRE INFLATE 450 is a portable 12V digital tyre inflator designed for car use. It provides a maximum pressure of 5.5 bar (80 psi) for fast tyre inflation and features a digital pressure display for accurate adjustment. The unit draws power from a vehicle 12V socket and includes a hose and standard valve connector suitable for car tyres and many small inflatables. This compact compressor is intended for roadside emergencies, routine tyre maintenance and occasional inflation of bicycle tyres, sports equipment and inflatable accessories.

Advantages

The digital pressure display allows precise setting and monitoring of tyre pressure, reducing the risk of over- or under-inflation. With a rated maximum pressure of 5.5 bar (80 psi) the compressor is capable of handling standard car tyre requirements and many other small inflation tasks. Powering directly from a vehicle 12V socket makes the unit convenient for roadside use without the need for separate batteries. The compact and portable design supports storage in a car boot or emergency kit.

Suitable for

• Inflating car tyres for routine maintenance and rapid roadside inflation
• Top-up inflation for bicycle tyres and small motorbike tyres
• Inflating sports equipment such as balls and small inflatables
• Occasional inflation of inflatable accessories like air mattresses and pool toys (small size)

When it may not be suitable

This compressor is intended for 12V vehicle power and short-duration inflation tasks; it is not designed as a continuous-duty industrial air compressor. For heavy-duty or frequent professional workshop use, a higher-capacity compressor with continuous-duty rating and an independent power source is more appropriate. Very large inflatables or items requiring high flow rate for rapid inflation may take a long time with this unit.

Key specifications

• Power source: 12V vehicle socket
• Maximum pressure: up to 5.5 bar (80 psi)
• Display: digital pressure readout
• Suitable fittings: standard tyre valve connector and accessories for small inflatables
• Application: portable, short-duration tyre and small inflatable inflation
• Design: compact and portable for car storage

How to use

Connect the compressor to the vehicle 12V socket and attach the hose to the tyre valve ensuring a secure connection. Switch on the unit and use the digital display to monitor and set the desired pressure. Allow the compressor to run until the display shows the target pressure, then switch off and remove the hose. For best results, check tyre pressure with an independent gauge if available and allow the tyre to settle before re-checking. Follow any manufacturer safety instructions printed on the unit and avoid prolonged continuous operation to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: occasional roadside and home tyre inflation versus frequent workshop use
• Power source availability: requires a 12V vehicle socket for operation
• Maximum pressure and flow: 5.5 bar (80 psi) is suitable for most car tyres but may be slow for very large inflatables
• Portability and storage: check dimensions and included accessories to ensure convenient storage in your vehicle

Usage recommendations

Use the Ledvance OSRAM TYRE INFLATE 450 as a compact emergency and maintenance tool: keep it in the car for quick tyre top-ups, check pressures when tyres are cold for accurate readings, and avoid continuous runs longer than recommended to prevent overheating. For frequent or heavy-duty inflation tasks, consider a workshop-grade compressor.
