I want/need to have a portable air compressor in my car. I want to get this Viair 78P recommended by Wirecutter, but I see that it typically draws at 15 amps while operating.
Can the cigarette outlet (and the circuit behind it) handle 15 amps? Since this is an air compressor, the car would be parked (and running, if necessary) during use.
If not, is there any way to upgrade the alternator or circuit or cigarette outlet to safely handle a 15-amp draw?
