Specifically, would this be able to pump all four Bronco tires from a psi of 10-15 psi up to the factory spec 39 psi on a single M18 battery charge? Thanks!

Absolutely. I have had one for over a year now. One trip required at least 2-3 air down/ups and did it off one battery. Maybe dropped the battery to half? It's fast, easy, and stores nicely. I do only go up to 35-37 PSI though.

Thanks so much! Worst case scenario, I could pack two M18 batteries and that looks like it would cover most normal air down/air up scenarios.

The unit uses Milwaukie's M18 battery, the same battery that's used on their power tools, portable vaccum, etc.

Right, I have 30 different Milwaukee m18 tools. I’m asking about what size battery is being used for several air ups on 4 tires? A 1.5ah m18 battery barely allows me to blow off my lanai, driveway and side walk. The battery’s Milwaukee offers for the m18 range from 1ah all the way up to 12ah I believe

Here's the batteries I have been using with my Milwaukie tools and I assume this would work with the air compressor:

Yes, but it's going to take you about 20-30 minutes.

Like most Milwaukee offerings the compressor can be purchased bare or packaged with batteries/chargers/etc. The "standard" offering of the compressor, a charger and batteries include 2 M18 Red Lithium XC 5.0's. I have yet to encounter a situation where I needed anything close to the full charge of a single battery but, as always, YMMV.

I have one and I love it! Do yourself a favor tho, and get 2 of the 12.0 batteries. 8.0 or 9.0 are good for about 1.5 air ups. 12 will do 2 full air ups on my 40s from single digits to 37psi. Always start w/a full battery charge!

Yup, those are the ones that I have.

Was a big sale for them late last year and a bunch of us, myself included, got in on it for two batteries and compressor. Works great. Like others said, depends on how many cycles you intend if you need more battery capacity.

I have one. Keep in mind that the output isn't close to an ARB. It will take a good amount of time to take a 35 or larger from 15-20 psi to road pressure...

I love Milwaukee tools and I own the M18 inflator, but I've found that it won't re-seat a bead if you happen to break one loose on the trail. I ended up switching to a Power Tank setup for that reason.

Plus, the Power Tank is WAY faster when airing back up from single digits.
