Cyberpower battery backup 330 watts generator#

don't think the alarm ever went as a result of a power failure, but not sure.įYI, you want a Marine battery and not an automotive one because the power draw is very different.Ĭars need a very short burst of very high amperage. Worth noting however, the one we have will set off an alarm every time the pump is activated, Highly annoying, although it was being set off, not because of a power failure, but because the main pump float had become waterlogged, and tit not have enough buoyancy to trigger the switch on the pump. We have a Craftsman model that came with a charger, DieHard Gold Marine Battery, battery box, pump and float. So basically i just need a Battery back up that can last through a storm, I am not sure how long i would be without power but the longer this could last the better.īeen there, done that as well. Basically all it does is during a severe storm it might fire up once or twice every hour for about 3-4 seconds and thats it. I know it is able to pump out about 15 gallons in just a few seconds. What I can tell you is it plugs into a regular outlet on the wall so it is 120 volt. I do not see why I couldn't use one for a sump pump but which one? I can't unfortunately give you a lot of info on the electrical workings of the sump pump.

Plus I would have to be home to switch over to generator so I would need a battery backup on the sump pump.Īnyway, all APC battery back ups are for computers. Eventually I will get a generator but that is a year or two down the road. So after i cleaned up the mess i instantly thought battery backup for the sump pump. Then it dawned on me, no power, and the sump pump can't pump out the water. Well for heat there was no big deal I have a fireplace, However after i got power back I decided to go down to the basement and when i stepped down, the carpet was wet. That was until that night some time in the middle of the night the power got knocked out and was out for 8 hours.

This left a lot of water seeping into the basement, which the sump pump was more than happy to handle.

We seriously got over 5 ft of snow here in december and then the weather warmed up dramatically which melted all the snow, the heat wave also came in with a sudden rainstorm that soaked the ground and added more water to the melting snow. All has been good with the new house until recently. Hi, I have a question, this seems really odd but I know I cannot be the only one but I do not seem to find any information for this anywhere.Īnyway, I am a computer programmer, I recently bought a nice house in the country with a basement.
