That was my thought as well. This thing should have a 12v backup plug regardless. I don't want to get stuck on the roadside bc I consumed my batteries with the fan and flashlight.
If the box has "20V Max" at the upper right, there's a good chance it's Type 2, but maybe not if they have resumed making Type 1. Most (all?) Type 1 units have "20V Max" in a box on the left, half-way down and places next to the boxes that show 12v lighter and optional AC power.
There's DCC020IB Type 1 and DCC020IB Type 2. The type is not specified anywhere else because they are considered the same product. The type number is basically the hardware revision but people noticed Type 2 appeared to be faster and more reliable with parts from a different supplier. It's all conjecture and anecdotes but I can say that I researched buying a broken one to fix and all of them were either Type 1 or indeterminate (label not readable). The most common issue I saw was Type 1 units that stop working with the 20V Max battery but continue working with the 12v DC/AC input.
Yes, it has a 12v auto lighter jack cable stowed in a side panel so you only need the 20V Max tool battery if you are going to operate away from your vehicle. Fun fact: The optional AC adapter plus into the same spot as the included DC lighter cord, so you can get any 10A 12~14.8V AC adapter to use with the included cable.

Yeah, this doesn't sound like a shameless vendor plug. Like, how would you know what the build quality is like? Oh and btw, will this also inflate your air mattress and pool? ok. I'll bite for the sake of giving you the benefit of doubt.... what was it exactly that the Dewalt unit didnt do well for you, other than " I got tired "?

This DeWALT inflator has a brass chuck, not plastic. It replaced my CAT PPSCL3 that I got from Costco, which also had a brass chuck. The problem with the CAT was that there was too much resistance between the chuck and the hose causing the hose to twist when threading the chuck. That twist would spring back a quarter turn with each half turn you put into threading the chuck. It makes it take twice as long and lose twice as much air when connecting/disconnecting.

Yeah, people say that's likely a Type 1 and I can confirm my Type 2 was in a different box ("20V Max" moved to top-right). There seem to be a lot of Type 1 and Type 2 units in the same date ranges so I'm not sure they ever stopped making Type 1.
