Duty cycle is the specification that decides whether a portable compressor lasts a year or a decade, and almost no listing prints it: about 25 minutes at 30 PSI, then it needs to cool.

| Specification | NOCO Boost Plus GB40 1000A 12V UltraSafe Lithium Jump Starter | Viair 88P Portable Automatic Tyre Inflator Compressor |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹11,990 | ₹8,990 |
| Weight | 1.1 kg | 3.9 kg |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Also | USB power bank and 100 lumen LED torch | not published |
| Auto shut-off | not published | Preset pressure, so it stops on its own |
| Charge retention | Holds charge for up to a year, so it is usable when actually needed | not published |
| Duty cycle | not published | Roughly 25 minutes on at 30 PSI, then a cooling period. This is the specification that decides whether a compressor survives, and it is in the manual if anywhere |
| Engine limits | Petrol up to 6 litres, diesel up to 3 litres. Diesel needs far more cranking current, which is why the diesel figure is half | not published |
| Flow rate | not published | 1.47 CFM |
| Jump starts per charge | About 20 | not published |
| Maximum pressure | not published | 120 PSI |
| Not for | not published | Truck or large SUV tyres from flat -- the 400P is the model for that |
| Peak amps | 1000 A -- a peak figure, not a sustained one | not published |
| Power | not published | Direct to the battery with alligator clips, not a cigarette lighter socket -- a socket cannot supply the current |
| Reverse polarity protection | Yes, and it is the reason to buy a proper unit rather than a cheap one -- clamping backwards with an unprotected starter destroys electronics | not published |
| Storage in a car | Lithium, so it should not live in a car through Indian summer -- store it indoors | not published |
| Why it matters | not published | Inflating four tyres from flat can exceed the duty cycle in one session. Let it cool between tyres |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
