The ones with inbuilt batteries are meant for emergencies/very rare use. And once the battery dies, they are useless.

Get one with a 12V cigarette port input from a reputed brand, and power it from bike/car directly with engine running. My previous inflator from Slime lasted from 2012 to 2023 with occasional usage.

One thing I don't like about the current models is they have a screw on type nozzle to conenct to the valve instead of quick release ones. Some air will leak out when you're trying to disconnect the inflator, and quite frankly it's a bit of a unnecessary hassle. Example quick connector:

He is named after Lalmohan Ganguly, the fictional thriller writer, accompanying the Super sleuth Pradosh C Mitter aka Feluda, Created by None other than Satyajit Ray...as He accompanies me on my daily adventures, and also Red (Lal) in color

I am so distressed to see than none got the reference..does TE consists of a bunch of Teenagers after cheap thrills these days?

May be all aren't conversant with Bengali literature. Sancho Panza, Watson would've been understood better I guess. (Unfortunate, I know, But...)
 
Imported this from the states, Qodosen DX-286, this thing is making waves in the portable mw/sw/fm receiver class. Jay Allen (old hat radio reviewer) created a new category of 5.5 stars in FM just for this radio. And after testing for 2 days, I'm blown away. Received a measly 3kw FM station from 100km+, received MW broadcast from all over the country (Imphal, Guwahati, Bengaluru, Dharwad, Mumbai, Hyderabad). And received a SW broadcast from China with FM like fidelity. Recording ->

Used shipoutfromusa, the radio itself cost 85usd shipped to their warehouse in NY from amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3V3H356). Shipping from US to my home here took 10 days, and SOFU charged me ~2.8k incl. customs duty.

Here's it receiving Radio Shantiniketan (3kw) at a distance of 100KMs ->
