NOCO launch AL5 portable air compressor
NOCO has announced the UK launch of the AL5 lithium powered portable air compressor, a compact, high-performance solution designed to deliver quick, reliable tyre inflation for drivers, cyclists, motorcyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.
Flat or under-inflated tyres are among the most common roadside problems, often causing delays, safety risks and unnecessary stress. NOCO’s solution combines lithium power, lightweight design and modern technology into one compact package.
The AL5 weighs less than a kilogram (0.82kg) and is small enough to fit in a glovebox or backpack. Furthermore, it comprises a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, allowing users to inflate up to six car tyres on a single charge.
Away from motoring, NOCO also pointed to the AL5’s versatility; it is a useful for customers who enjoy sports because the air compressor is capable of inflating everything from basketballs and footballs to paddle boards and kayaks. Equally, leisure users can rely on the AL5 to keep caravan and motorhome tyres in check, ensuring safe and worry-free journeys on the road.
Power, precision and speed
At the heart of the AL5 is a 90W motor capable of delivering 130 PSI of pressure — more than enough to handle car, motorcycle, bicycle, caravan and motorhome tyres, as well as sports equipment and inflatables.
Advanced pressure detection ensures accurate inflation within minutes, while the digital LCD screen and automatic shut-off prevent over-inflation. Users can simply set their desired PSI, press start and let the compressor do the rest.
NOCO Director of Sales, UK, Ireland, Benelux, Gary Vincent, said: “Our goal with the AL5 was to eliminate the compromises people have long associated with portable air compressors.
“By leveraging lithium technology and smart engineering, we’ve created a solution that is fast, reliable and truly portable, without the cables or hassle.”
Design with safety and reliability in mind
NOCO reported that safety has been a guiding principle throughout the development of the AL5. Regular tyre checks should be simple and stress-free, while the device includes integrated LED lighting, ensuring visibility during night-time emergencies, breakdowns or low-light conditions.
