You could forget the advice of these guys with their namby pamby kids sized air compressors and buy a Man Sized one that will blow more air than members here expel in a month.
Ah, BUT the members produce HOT air!
Yep, and more than one outlet :D

I've got one of those rechargeable "power pack" things, with jump leads, compressor, light and USB port. OK for topping tyres up, but needs a separate gauge for accuracy. It's mostly used for jump-starting garden tractors, and I pop it in the car if the car's left parked at an airport for 2 or 3 weeks.

I've got one of the Ring models that plugs into the 12v connector on the car at it works fine for my 21 inchers.

If it isn't mains powered you need after all and just the occasional topping up, I'd second those ring types - I've got this one (https://www.ringautomotive.com/en/product/RTC2000) which was only around £35 and is pretty small / can go in the drinks bottle holder on a bike too.

If going round a car and maybe all 4 tyres need something like 2-3 psi, it does that any still shows all power remaining / maybe 20% of power gone.

On the Macan it did have one tyre with a nail in and was something like 20psi down and whilst it took a few mins, it filled that back to normal (to get to the garage), and I think used about half the battery.
