Avid Power 20V Cordless Tire Inflator (ACAP115D-O)

Tom's Guide measured the unit at 2 minutes 57 seconds to fill a car tire to 30 PSI, and Automoblog reported 3-5 minutes to reach 38 PSI on a standard vehicle tire. The manufacturer claim of under 3 minutes on a small (195/60 R14) tire to 36 PSI broadly matches community measurements; larger 215/60 R16 tires take closer to 5 minutes per the manufacturer's own spec. This is a fast unit by tire-inflator standards, though not the absolute category leader.

50 PSI maximum. The manufacturer specification table lists 'Maximum Pressure 50 Pound per Square Inch,' and the product's own marketing imagery carries the footnote 'Not recommended for vehicle tires wider than 245mm or requiring over 50PSI.' This is a hard ceiling — the unit covers passenger-car cold pressures (typically 30-40 PSI) but is not built for light trucks, SUVs at 50+ PSI cold pressure, motorcycles, or high-pressure bicycles. Buyers with anything other than a standard passenger car should look at higher-PSI cordless or 12V corded units.

No verified UL or ETL listing as of May 2026. All five mandatory certification lookups returned either no match or inconclusive results: UL Product iQ direct database query returned HTTP 403; the Intertek ETL Listed Mark directory live search form is session-tied and could not be queried via web scrape, while Google site searches surfaced no third-party references to an Avid Power UL or ETL file number; the CPSC recall database returned no active recall; FCC ID is not applicable (the unit has no radio emission); and the manufacturer's storefront product pages, about-us page, and operator manual mirrors contain no UL, ETL, or cULus listing claim in any primary source. CE marking is implied by EU-targeted marketing language but not explicitly stated on the spec table or the manufacturer's product page.

The manufacturer states a full battery charge handles approximately 4× 195/60 R14 tires or 3× 215/60 R16 tires from flat to 36 PSI. For a routine four-tire top-off where each tire is only a few PSI low, a single charge is sufficient. For inflating a fully flat second tire on the same charge — especially on the larger 215/60 R16 size — the battery becomes a constraint. The included 12V DC car-adapter backup is the workaround when the battery is depleted on the road.

No active CPSC recall was found for the Avid Power 20V cordless tire inflator as of May 2026. The CPSC recall database is publicly searchable at cpsc.gov/recalls — that is the authoritative source for current recall status.
