under seat accessory recepticle.

under seat accessory recepticle.
According to my owners manual, there's a accessory recepticle under the seat of my 07 SG that requires seat removal to access (how convenient!). Does anyone know if it will work with a Slime portable tire inflator/compressor male plug?
I picked up a nail in my rear tire last week but fortunately the leakage rate was slow enough that I made it home. However, I'm thinking of purchasing one of those slime compressors if it will run off of the accessory recepticle.

I found the two pin connector designed for a battery charger under the left side cover. I bought a mating connector and extended it out and soldered on a cigarette lighter adapter to the end. When on the road, I can hook it up and charge my iPhone which is in my small windhield pouch. I took my bike camping and used it to run a small pump to blow up my air mattress. When I don't need/want it, I simply unplug it and keep in the the garage.
I only issue I found is that the battery charger circuit has an in-line fuse rated at 7.5 Amps. I changed it out with a 15 A fuse since the pump pulled 12 Amps and kept blowing the fuse. I have the 7.5 fuse so I can swap it if I plug in a battery charger back in.
I'm certain it probably violates some warranty issues but this connector goes straight to the battery. I know enough about circuits to know it can't hurt anything (short of the fuse issue).

The under seat recepticle also has a running light and brake light feed for running acessories that need that function. Like the Saddlebag Lid Spoiler Kit
BTW the recepticle under the seat is a 4 place Deutsch Connector

Thanks to all that took the time to reply. I don't have a cigerette lighter on my 07. Perhaps some of the later 07's do? Anyway, I'll look into the kit that one of you mentioned that will convert it into that type of recepticle.
Also, I'd like to extend the wiring so that I can access it without removing the seat, if possible.
Thanks Guys.
