Hello Scotty b,

What type of back up do you now have?

I have two generators for my house and tanks. Battery powered back up for air supply.

its a temporary battery back up, it kept the sump pump going for 2 hours and only used 1/2 battery so I'm thinkig it will power a pump for 4 hours (+-)

Is this a DIY back up or something that you had to purchase. Give us some more details if you can.

Thanks!

Yes, details please. I would love to have a backup battery like this if it can be bought plug n play.

Awesome! This is really good to know, even if it's a little too expensive for me at the moment.

I imagine that it would work a lot longer if there were only air pumps connected to power air driven filters in a longer-term emergency.

I work on cars as one of my hobbies and passions and have 2 jumper packs with outlets and a generator... back up is always important especially taking on responsibility of life no matter what it may be.
