need a new 12 volt air compressor for tires

[keithhr1]

Infiniti puts out 12 volt (10amps) and seems like all the good compress (viair) are 15 amps. I am having tire pressure sensor problems
or air leaks in my tires and I need a compressor to plug in the 12 volt outlet.
Any suggestions will be appreciated and I'm ready to go shopping,

I just did a quick Google and a bunch came up...from TireRack, Harbor Freight, etc. None of those work?

I run a viair pump through the cigarette lighter outlet without trouble on my 2006 M45 when the car is running. I think the amp load rating on the compressors is a max draw, but I'm also not sure if the 2006 cigarette lighter is fused at 10 amps, and I'm not sure what the rating on my compressor is. Regardless, that compressor is now in my wife's car, and I have a Slime dual piston compressor that connects directly to the battery. It's not quite as convenient as the viair was in a couple of ways, but it says to run with the car off, and I've been airing up a tire every few days recently without problems.

I bought a 12v compressor from Kensun Automotive Products on Amazon. Nice unit. Well built and all crome. Max. pressure 100 psi. Working pressure : 5-40 psi. 0-30 psi in 4 minutes based on P195/65R15. Comes in a decent case that zips.
