Can this also test a 12 volt lead-acid battery (i.e. the backup power for my sump pump)?

no, it would not put any kind of a load on the battery to give you an accurate test

I am not to sure about that you would have to find out. I used it check Batterts and others.

Don't know Fred. Go by the specs. If it says 24V 2 Amps for lead acid batteries, well...why would it not work?Your only concern should be about the type of connector. Good luck

From and inverter point of view it does not care where it is getting the 12vdc from, so long as the battery is providing enough voltage for the inverter to convert to 120vac. So the answer to your question is YES, this inverter will work with sealed lead-acid batts.

Yes, If you're running it on 12 volts it draws 2.24 amps so it should work.

It will certainly power a sump pump but length of time will depend on the draw and the capacity of the unit. Should be able to figure it out.

Hi yes you will input what the cca rating is on your battery, and then it will test against that set range.

As far as I know, no. To test the charge, it is executed a discharge/charge cicle. It would be possible to test the volts of the battery, wich is reliable mesasure for non-rechargeable batteries, but I presume it would be dangerous.

This is 15 Amp so it should be electrically sufficient (check motor amperage on pump); however, this is made for tight spaces so probably not be wide enough for your battery backup transformer (1 inch)

The quick and easy answer is, Yes, it should work for that, the only thing I haven't tested with it is how it will react to loss of source voltage. You'll just have to be sure to set up the output voltage limit to the proper value for the 36 volt battery (41.4V or so for lead acid). I would also set the current limit to a value that would not overload the solar cells in normal lighting conditions.

If your pump runs off a 12 volt battery or 6 volt { standard automotive battery} it will work just fine

Yes. Absolutely fantastic. I want to see how long it will last. As long as it is a 12volt system it will work.
1481231
yes ,you can test the battery voltage,charging current from the solar panel

I don't know if it's a good idea or not. In an earlier question I posted a link that can calculate the run time based on the wattage drawn by the device. I would check that. It might work but there might be much cheaper options for a sump pump.

Probably not. This would charge a battery though, that could be used for a pump or inverter power source.

If your solar setup is designed to charge lead acid battery's wired in series for 24V, then yes. You will need to adapt your charging setup to use the same type of adapter that plugs into the side of the pack.

As long as your input into the pump is 12v DC you should be fine. That is my educated guess.

We generally just use multimeters and/or Hydrometers to check batteries, I don't think this has that capability. It's great for charging though.
