Does anyone have any experience with this compressor? This is the first compressor I am seeing that runs on its own battery. That would be an absolute game changer for me in the field. At the moment I am bringing my small orange Chinese compressor to my truck, walking back and forth from the truck to refill. It isn’t really a fun process. If anyone has anything to say about this compressor I am all ears! Thanks!
GX EL portable cordless compressor?

It uses Makita batteries, so spares are inexpensive. I use the EL3. It's pretty much a CS3 inside

I have had the EL-2 (single battery) for six months and have had no issues at all. It fills my Revere in about 2 minutes.

I’d go with the 2 battery version the cooling fans can be made to run after a fill which helps in its longevity. IMO GX Is the best for the $$

I have an L3 also and it works great. I found some Makita knock-off batteries on Amazon pretty cheap, so it's even better with a couple back-up batteries. Amazon even offers a AC/DC converter with an adapter that will fit where the battery sits for use at home plugged into 110V outlet.

For under $400, it's a great little compressor. If you order direct from GX Pumps, be sure to use their discount code (GX10OFF) for an additional 10% off, which drops the price to around $360.00 TYD!

I have had the L-2 and had no issues with it. I get pretty good life out of the battery It’s very portable. Like others said extra batteries can be had failrly cheap.

I am surprised more companies didn’t adopt this style. It looks like a no brainer to me. I may go with the one battery one though due to its cost effectiveness. Thank you all for your replies!

I have a bunch of Milwaukee 18V batteries and no Makita. Target Forge did a you tube about converting a GX CS2 to battery power. He used Dewalt batteries but that just means a different battery dock. If you are like me and already have other brand batteries you might just want to convert a GX CS2. Seems like you could even convert a GX CS4 but it draws a little more so batteries wouldn't last as long.

This question is for anyone who owns the GX-E-L3 compressor.
I was servicing my L3 compressor and was wondering the correct orientation of the two small fans located on the rear of the unit.
The top fan blows air out of the compressor and the bottom fan sucks air in... am I correct? This unit has 3 fans in total, with the
larger fan on the front of the unit, being used to bring air in.

It's awful hard these days to find good labor to join the expedition, carry the gear, and pump the gun.

I have the single battery EL2. All my cordless tools are 18v Makita so I knew I had to have one. It’s great. Fills my rifle in a little over two minutes and barely gets warm to the touch. The great thing is that it is small. Much smaller than a carbon tank and lighter. So much easier to pack in the truck. Everyone should have one.
