INITIALIZATION.
Turn the Product "ON" by pressing the Power Button. If more than 3 PSI is detected, then the detected pressure will be displayed with the “SET” LED being "OFF".
Set Pressure.
Change the Set Pressure to desired tire pressure level by pressing the ▼ or ▲ Buttons. Hold both ▼ and ▲ Buttons together at anytime to change the unit of pressure displayed (BAR, KPA, PSI). 
POWER ON.
Press the Air Button to begin tire inflation. Inflation will continue until the Set Pressure has been reached.

Press the up or down arrows to change the pressure unit as needed. After waiting for a few seconds, the rest of the display will turn back on and the AL5 will be set to the new pressure unit.

What devices can Air Lithium recharge?

Air Lithium can recharge any device that uses USB-C. This includes all generations of smartphones on the market, as well as HD action cameras, tablets, music players, headphones, earbuds, wireless speakers, and more. This depends on the battery needs of your device, the AL5's battery capacity for recharging USB devices is 4,4mAh.

The USB in/out port is USB-C Power Delivery Dual Role Protocol (DRP), enabling it to power other USB devices. When charging USB devices, it's important to turn "ON" the AL5 before connecting the device to be charged.

If the AL5 is not turned "ON" first, it might draw power from the USB device. To charge the AL5 using a DRP-compatible device (such as a phone, laptop, or power bank), make sure the AL5 is powered "OFF" before connecting the cable between the AL5 and the DRP device.

How do I enable Manual Air Mode?

To enter Manual Air Mode, set the pressure to 0.0. Press the Air Button to turn "ON" the compressor and the compressor will run until the Air Button is pressed again (or the maximum pressure limit of the Product is reached, the AL5's battery is fully depleted, or if the AL5 gets too hot or cold to continue operation). During Manual Air Mode the display will cycle LEDs. When Manual Air Mode is shut "OFF", the display will show the current pressure.

How heavy is Air Lithium?
AL5 1.8lb (0.82kg)
Why does my Air Lithium automatically shut-off?

The Air Lithium series is built with an Automatic Shut-off feature. The compressor will turn "OFF" when the desired pressure has been reached, and the Display will remain "ON" after the Automatic Shut-off. The AL5 may also shut off if the battery is fully drained, or if the AL5 gets too hot or cold to continue operation, in which case the Display will shut "OFF".

Does the Automatic Shut-Off function in Manual Air Mode?

Automatic Shut-off will only occur in Manual Air Mode if the maximum rated pressure of the Product has been reached, if the battery is fully drained, or if the AL5 gets too hot or cold to continue operation.

What should I do if Automatic Shut-Off doesn't activate as expected?

If AL's Automatic Shuttoff does not activate as expected, make sure the cable connection is tight and there are no leaks in the system, and refer to the product's User Guide. Contact support if the problem persists.

Why does my Air Lithium overinflate by 0.5 PSI?

To account for a small amount of air loss when disconnecting, the device is designed to add a little more air. For example, if the target pressure is set to 36.5 PSI, you may notice the device inflates to 37.0 PSI. This compensates for the expected 0.5 PSI loss when detaching the air hose.

Is Air Lithium made in the USA?

Air Lithium is proudly designed in the USA and manufactured overseas to ensure our customers receive exceptional design and quality at the most affordable price.

How long is the hose, and what material is it made of?

The hose is 10 inches (25.4 cm) long and is made of black EDPM with nylon braiding for durability.

Care Tips
Should I charge Air Lithium before using it?

Yes, Air Lithium will arrive partially charged, fully charge the unit before first using it to ensure optimal performance. Charge after extended periods of disuse to maintain product health.

What is the optimal way to store Air Lithium?

Please charge the unit before storing it to elongate its lifetime, always charge after extended periods of disuse to keep ready for use. NOCO Air Lithium should not be stored below 14ºF (-10ºC), and not exceed 113ºF (45ºC) for any reason. Storing outside of these ranges can cause damage to multiple crucial components of the device. Store at 77ºF (25ºC) for optimal longevity. Do not store outdoors. Instead, store in a dry indoor location with at least 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) of space around the product to allow for adequate airflow. Wrap the hose and disconnect cables to protect them during storage.

Can Air Lithium be left in direct sunlight in a car?

No, remove Air Lithium from direct sunlight. The ambient temperature in a car can increase to 50°C (122°F) within just 10 minutes.

What are the operating temperatures for Air Lithium?

Air Lithium can operate within the temperature range 14ºF to 113ºF (-10ºC to 45ºC).

Why is my Air Lithium unit overheating?

Make sure all connections to the Product are secure. Loose connections may cause reduced performance, increasing heat or causing air to leak. After extended use, it's normal for the metal tip of the air hose to feel hot and for the plastic housing of the AL5 to get warm.

Can the battery inside Air Lithium be replaced?

The built-in lithium-ion battery is not user-replaceable and is designed to remain sealed within the unit. Do not attempt to replace, modify, or tamper with the battery under any circumstances. Handling a damaged or leaking lithium-ion battery is extremely hazardous and may result in serious injury, fire, or property damage. For disposal or assistance with a faulty unit, contact NOCO or refer to the contact information provided on the back of the unit. Any unauthorized attempts to service, alter, or replace the battery will immediately void the product warranty and release NOCO from any liability for resulting harm, damage, or injury.
