This sump pump has the ability to drain for up to 14.5 hours, which amounts to about 10,520 gallons, when used on a fully charged battery. This equates to about 18 gallons per minute. When the pump kicks in, or a problem is detected, an alarm will sound to alert you.

The pump is fashioned out of thermoplastic, which prevents the system from rusting or corroding and it has an overload protector design built in. This sump pump battery back up system does require a marine battery that is either 24 or 27m in depth.
