I mean, I suppose the inflator could be number 8 on the list of things that have to be charged up to leave the garage, e.g. Di2, computer, phone, tail light, headlight, power meter, HR strap...
I can imagine a power strip with 8 cords all connected to your bike like monitor leads in the ICU.
Of course I am one to talk since I charge headlight, Varia, Garmin head unit and have wireless shifting on deck. Then there’s all those batteries for power meter/cadence sensor, speed sensor, HR strap…. Between 3 bikes, I am constantly switching out batteries.
Being a Luddite, I still carry a mini pump as backup to CO2, but haven’t used either in years.
