The system is designed to operate most efficiently with sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. Deep cycle marine batteries or automotive style batteries can also be used.
Sealed lead acid batteries cost slightly more, but they can last longer. Among
the manufacturers of sealed lead acid batteries are Hawker, Panasonic,
PowerSonic, Yuasa and Eagle Picher.
The oversize battery case (included) will accommodate a 12-volt SLA battery or
a 12-volt deep cycle marine battery (up to a 27-frame size).
The Wayne 75 amp battery model# WSB1275 will operate this pump for up to 8 hours of continuous operation.
