Coleman PMJ8960 Air Compressor

I have purchased the Coleman PMJ8960 air compressor through a site online. The product description, cheap price and compact and handy design had convinced me to purchase the air compressor unit. I thought it would be of use while purchasing it, but now I think it is a total waste of money and should have never purchased it since I rarely use the air compressor as it is of no use at all. I bought it thinking I can use it to jump start my car when the battery fails or as a source of emergency light while going for camping trips but my calculations all went wrong since this model is not at all efficient as its battery life is very short and hence need to be charged most of the time even if it is not used.

This Coleman air compressor has got a battery that need to be very frequently charged and the battery drains out fast when it is exposed to heat which is quite usual when it is inside the car. Since it is very compact and light weight it can be easily carried along but has been of seldom use to me while traveling since the battery life is very short. I once took the air compressor along with me for a camping trip to air fill my camping bed but when I reached the destination and took out the air compressor to fill in air I realized it was not working because there was no charge. I was so much annoyed that I dumped it in my car’s boot space and never ever had relied on the air compressor from that day onwards.
