GX-CS4 $529/$477 with discount code
- Thread starter BackStop
- Start date
NOW you're talking, Kerry!! But let me assist you a bit with your rather larger-than-life link, if I may be so bold (just delete anything from the word /ref forward with Amazon & YT links)...

I'd wager that a lightning strike to the inside of your left knee is more likely to happen.

By no means am I recommending this unit because I don't have one. I was simply trying to show that there are lower cost options IF the GX-CS4 OEM power supply fails.
Also, note that the unit I listed comes in 3 versions from $49, $59 and $89 depending on the peak wattage/amps required.
All my best!

I will. I have a neighbor who has been using the PS for over two years now, and other than an early-on failure (burnt circuit with a free replacement from Amazon), it has been working just fine.
The 750W PS that @BackStop posted would handle the CS 4 with plenty of room to spare, IMO, for anyone who happens to lose their home or their PS fails prematurely.

As with all questionable products it best to prudent and cautious when using them. Don't place the PS on near or on flammable materials. If it goes up in smoke the metal case should contain the fire to a small area. When I 1st pumped up to what I thought was 260 bar I hid around a wall after turning it on. If the compressor grenades I hope the sheet metal case will contain the shrapnel.
These low cost PS should work fine as long as you are willing to accept shorter possibly shorter lifespan, more noise, poorer regulation, most of which doesn't matter for powering a DC motor. the reason I suggested the higher priced PS is that the person was asking about a higher quality PS.
Copy and paste links are so long because they contain tracking info tack on the the end.

Yes, using any of these units I am at the ready. None of these low cost units are "set-and-forget". Always in attendance while using. Common sense

Once I have the PSU I might try and design a 3D printed box to house it in so there are not exposed wires.
Or just buy a junction box to size and use one of those.

Just a FYI, the OEM power supply that comes with the CS4 is not UL (Underwriters laboratory) listed.
What that means is? UL is not the end-all-beat-all for testing, although it is a "standard" of sorts.
It just isn't the ULTIMATE test that some people want to make it out to be.
Chances are VERY high that you already have MANY electrical devices in your home, car, etc, that are not listed/rated by UL.
Ever checked to see if your "smart phone" and charger is UL listed? (chuckle)

Is it reasonable thinking, to plan on getting 50 fills before encountering major parts problems with a gx-cs4, or any other small compressor like this?
(88/98 c.f. tank, from 2500psi to 4500psi).
Im great with maintence, oil changes, and keeping an eye on temperatures while running.
Is that reasonable thinking, or perhaps way too optimistic?

Any time you are working with long links from Amazon, YT, etc., look for the word "/ref" and you can typically delete ev everything that follows. I always test said shortened link before posting, as it's not 100% for every link.

Thanks! I think I used to know this stuff, but after a "mild" heart attack recently, apparently it affected my memory.
The CS4 is supposed to be capable of up to 4.5 hours of continuous usage. However, I don't have any tanks and only fill relatively small capacity airguns, so hopefully those with the CS4 that fill tanks will jump in and give you more and better help.
One thing I can say with some confidence is the CS4 will do fine if you only top off tanks and don't let them get too low before topping off.
Yeah, I am no real help... but I do try! (smile)
All my best!

Sorry to hear it affected your memory. In an attempt to help you out, just a gentle reminder that your previous monthly direct deposit into my bank account of $250 seems to have stopped. If you could start that up again, it would be swell...
And don't kid yourself, you ARE a help!!

My memory isn't THAT bad... Seems that your (laundered) $1500 transfer into my account stopped before it began! LOL! (chuckle)Sorry to hear it affected your memory.
