Q: What size battery will make this pump run for 5 hours. I cant find a amp hour chart? by Tom from California on October 10, 2011
A: Per the owners manual, this kit requires a good quality 12 volt battery to gain maximum pumping time during a power outage. A deep cycle, 12 volt, 105 amp-hour marine battery or larger is recommended. A battery of this size will provide approximately 7 hours of operation in an installation with 8’ of head pressure. If you need additional information, you can always call Little Giant tech support at 888-956-0000. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Hello Jim, I have a sump pump in my basement without a battery backup. What is a good backup to buy and what is the usage hours.
Thanks by K. Jones from New Jersey on August 28, 2011
A: As long as you have enough room in your sump basin, any of the BATTERY BACKUP systems we offer would do a fine job. Our most popular brands in addition to Little Giant are the Zoeller and Basement Watchdog. Most will run continuously for about 7 1/2 to 8 hours or cycle non-continuously for 24-36 hours. by Jim, Product Expert
