how long will it run on a deep cycle battery?

Don,t know, my was damaged and I sent it back. Cost me half of what I gave for it to ship back. Was very unhappy with that transaction. The one I purchased local was same size. It runs for about 48 hours on a large deep cell. Would not recommend getting one from Amazons supplyer.

It did not work for us so I can't answer that. All I know is that they would NOT take it back for a refund and we are stuck with something that doesn't work

I am sorry, I have not opened my refrigerator as of yet and it is not where I can readily get to it. . If you could look on the box or somehow find out how many amps are required by the refrigerator, I can be of a little more help. I will also need to know how many the amps the battery holds. an example is you may have a 12 volt battery, but it will be rated so many amps. The battery could be 12, 24, or just about any volt size. A 12 volt, 30 amp battery would run a 12 volt 3 ah for ten hours, kinda...If it is okay with ebay, I would be glad to walk you through the math if you can get me the numbers.

I'm a truck driver and I use mine in my truck while on the road. I plug it into the truck outlets n it keeps things so cold they will ice over. My truck has 3 batteries n in the summer without me turning on my truck it will run about 3 days n in the winter about a day n a half. I say go ahead a buy it for whatever use u want it n ull fall in love with it, it's the investment this truck driver has ever made.

Hi ShirleyMy experience with this cooler is with TWO deep cycle batteries wired in parallel. With this set up the frigerator will run for four to five days. It all depends on how many times it's opened and closed.

Depends on the battery. 105amp battery will run it for 3-4 days max. The good thing is that the fridge has a law voltage shut off and will power down when battery is too low.

Any 12-volt deep cycle will do but don't get one of those skinny ones. The ones you want are roughly the size of a car battery. I'll try to check the brand of mine and update this, it's worked for 4-5 weekends a year for almost 10 years now

Sorry, I don't know for sure. My best guess is no, reasoning, deep cycle batteries are usually very expensive, this one is not. I use a ups to protect computers and equipment from surges and momentary/ short term outages and for that purpose these things are fine.

I don't know exactly what you mean because that varies with use ,i use a deep cycle marine battery ,durolast from autozone 800 amps,last me all day so far but i only had it out for about four hours before winter hit and every thing is frozen now.will repost after spring thaw.

Well yea, use a battery charger , or a deep cycle charger with a max of 35 amp .Most deep cycle batteries use a slow charge rate anyway which is a lower amp charger.Just keep the amp below 30 to 35 amp @ 12 volt. This is not a 24 or more system charger.

It would run it for about 18 minutes if fully charged. The inverter has the power and if you have enough battery it will run fine.

Hi, it is a deep cycle battery and should work fine for a trolling motor for several hours.Regards,BuyClerk

I guess it all depends on the battery and how often the pump will turn on. Get a GOOD Deep cycle marine battery and it will go for hours. I got it for peace of mind just in case the power goes out. Hasn't run yet, but neither did my AC sump.

It depends on the capacity of the battery. I've never run it till it dies but always run it on high and it lasts at least an hour. Or two 100ft dives no problem.

Yes, but no... Here's the deal: If you want to run on a large batter as a backup, you need to get a deep cycle marine battery. They are made for deep discharges. Car batteries are not. Once you have deep cycle 12 volt battery, you need to get a pure sine wave inverter. Connect battery to inverter, then you can plug the SimpleSafe into the inverter. IF you do this, you need to have a meter so you can judge the charge level of the battery. Don't go below 50%. That means don't go below 12 volts. Charge back to 12.7 volts. A simpler solution is to get a deep cycle battery and a solar panel and charge controller. Connect the solar to the charge controller and battery and inverter, then you'll have a solar backup.

Any inexpensive marine deep cycle battery will do. But remember if you use an independent battery it will need to be charged between uses.

I'm using this battery: MK Deep Cycle Gel Cell 12 Volt Battery for Backup Sump Pumpsits expensive but worth it and it should last for 8-10 years. Its very heavy duty.

I had mine running for 8 hours or a little more at full power during really cold temps last month (no on/off cycling). It cycles on/off when set between 1/4 and 3/4 power. With the milder temps now I usually set it about 2/3 and forget it.

i use it with two deepcycle batteries, i have a solar cell 68w connected to the batteries, it runs all the time with this setup in my camper

I would estimate that the battery would run the pump for 1.5 - 2 hours on a full charge. With my set up, I use a gas generator as back-up power. The 1 hour window gives me time to get the generator up an running.

I have 2 deep cycle marine batteries and they meet my needs I would recommend at least 2 maybe 3 depending on your needs. You should check with the manufactur who was extremely helpful to me.

A long time- This is a nice little unit but needs to turn nearly 1,500 rpm to make enough juice to really get to work on a 12 volt battery. It depends on the size of the battery and how discharged it is. If you had an average car battery mostly discharged and were running this on a bicycle set up it would take hours- I'd guess at least 4 to make any headway. I hope you have good legs. Mine makes 5.5 volts at 700 rpm.
