Hi Everyone

 

Has anyone ever used a battery operated pump to blow up air beds? and if so how quick do batteries go, and does it take forever to blow an airbed up?

we are camping for the June bank holiday, and there was no electric pitches left, I have a large airbed (one thats the same height as a normal bed) and just wondered what these battery operated pumps were like, any advise appreciated

my friend suggested to we take an extension lead, and pump the beds up from the site shower block plugs, but I wasn't sure if this would go down well with the site!!

Ours isn't bad but we sometimes need to top it up with a foot pump. However, when we have EHU we always use an electric one.

we have this one plugs into your car, pumps up an air bed no problem, about 2 mins for a normal double airbed, gives a pretty good pressure too.

We use a campingaz battery pump and its great. Uses 4 D batteries, which didn't run out throughout 5 camps over the past year. I actually find its better than the car plug in pump I also have as being battery powered its very handy- no dragging airbeds about to add a little air if they've deflated. Pumps beds up equally as fast as the 12 volt version. I would highly recommend-especially for the flexibility it gives you.

Campingaz 4D battery pump worked fine for us when we had an airbed.
