Can I use this battery to run a small 12v marine bilge pump for a 10-15 minutes?

You can run a pump, or anything else with this battery. The time it will run is dependent on the current the pump draws. This battery would run a pump that draws 2.5 amps for up to 2 hours.Check the current draw of your pump.It would easily run a pump drawing 5 amps for 1/2 to 1 hr.

It really just depends on how much of a draw the bilge pump has. I ran a 2-3 amp CB radio for 4 or 5 hours, and the battery is rated for 7 amp hours, so if you draw 7 amps constant, it should last 1 hour, do the math from there. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer.

I would go to Costco and buy a deep cycle marine battery for your application if you have room for it.

A single Battery will run it, Just depends on what your plugging in to it. I have two deep cycle Marine Batteries powering mine in my RV, But one will work fine, just wont last as long,

I purchased a flo-jet 2.9 gpm pump which runs off a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery. you will still need a small garden hose. I made my own quick connectors. I use this at my remote hunting cabin in northern Michigan.

I think so, for how long I couldn't say. I used a 6volt lantern battery and ran it for an hour or two in an experiment to use it as the circulation pump for a solar water heater I'm building. That battery is still strong. The flow was actually a little too fast for what I was trying to do. It's a good little pump, i think.

I see some confused answers, so I offer: A trolling motor that can run on less than 10 amps (or a 12v 40 pound thrust or less operated most of the time in mid-range, not full "throttle") should get at least 3 hours of trolling out of this battery... that is my interest in this battery.

I've worked on boats for a good amount of time and I got this one for an install with my solar powered setup I did on a shed of mine to run a power inverter dedicated to power my irrigation system and looking at it and using it I would be Ok with running 10A max for a short time. The back of the package on the ones I revived say 12V 7A.

Be warned, this is a tiny pump that fits in the palm of your hand. It moves just under 1 gal/min. so that might be too slow to drain a hot tub in a reasonable time. It is a 12V motor so I use little 12V 5Ah sealed batteries to power it using a 3/8 inch clear tube pressed on for small aquarium work. The power cord is pretty short so beware of deeper water unless you plan to splice and protect the wires with heat shrink tubing. To drain a hot tub in a reasonable time, maybe you should consider larger submersible pumps like the Rule pumps that also run on 12V.

I actually use this for my boat, any 12V battery will work, if you want to have something around that will last a long time, pick up a ATV battery at Walmart. It will probably run for days

Should work just fine, but you won't get the time you would from a deep discharge marine battery. 200 watts is only about 2 amps draw at 110 volts and probably about 15 amps from a 12 volt battery.

Yes, i have used it with a 12 volt battery in my fish houe. Works great. I get around 6 hours of run time.

Sure. It's a 12 V battery and mine runs off the motorcycle electrical system. There's no guarantee of long life, but you can definitely run it.

Well I use this battery in a kayak to power the fish finder and I unload my kayak when I am done for the day and before I put it back on the trailer. I guess you could leave it in the boat if it is strapped down so it won't bounce around. It is a sealed battery so nothing can leak out if it is on it's side

Sorry no you can not I have it connected to a marine battery then an inverter

It should run off any 12 volt power source. This small battery would work, don't know for how long, likely many hours at a minimum.

I have never tried that. If it is not salt water, I would guess there would be no problem. AA batteries are sealed, so water might get into the pump motor, but most of those are designed to run wet. Please understand, this is only my guess...I have no firm technical knowledge about it.

I have used this battery to power a similar trolling motor on a Native Watercraft Ultimate 16 with 2 adults for 2 consecutive days. I do not know how much power was left so I recharged before the third day. This was not constant use, but it was a significant amount of time running on speed levels 3 and 4 of a 5 speed motor. I have done this several times in both river and bay applications. Hope this helps.
