Can I wire this pump directly to a 12 volt battery?

Yes, but follow the diagram. Hooking it up wrong will burn out the auto switch. Also a good idea to use an inline fuse to be safe.

We wired this directly and leave it right in the boat at the campground for when we are not there. We have not had any problems with it and it works well so we don't have to worry about the rain when we are not going to be out there. We did place a wire mesh around the unit so if any debris ends up near it, it won't clog it and burn it out.

Yes, but I would highly recommend putting a fuse in between the battery and pump. Comes with good instructions.

Also,, I put my in a 9"x 9" baking pan with sides about 1.5", something you cook brownies in. got at the dollar store.This keeps a lot of the crap from getting too close to the pump.

yes, I did on my inboard pontoon. Works great! second pump for extra safety.I had to add another drainage tube and hole but it's worth it. Got those parts from Wal-Mart online $15.00Stayed ahead of 5 inches of rain this past weekend.Glenn

Yes ,but I put a switch (single pole double throw) one position is automatic (off and on with the float switch) And the other to run direct all the time It is VERY important to put a 10 amp fuse on the red wire If there is a short it will save the pump motor ,and other elect equipment My son uses the boat and he likes the auto position the best BTW it is a great pump for the price

Assuming there is a constant 12 volt direct source, the pump is going to draw 3 to 5 amps. amps x volts = watts. At 5 amps that would be 60 watts. With a battery in line it would work. Straight off a 50 watt solar panel probably not so well.

That motor is configurable for either 110 volts or 220 volts, which it calls Lo and Hi. You need to figure out what voltage your supply is and adjust the white and brown wires to the corresponding positions. When you change out the pump mark your wired and you should be fine.

You have to have a transformer to convert the power to 12v whether you use the plug or wire it directly. If you are talking about wiring it directly to a battery of some kind, you have to watch the voltage.

I doubt it. When you plugged it into a 220V receptacle, I imagine you ruined the pump pretty quickly but it's such a small pump, I can't imagine that anyone makes a comparable replacement that runs on 220V. Do you not have access to a 110/120V outlet?

Yes, should work as long as you convert to 12 volt. Think the wires were a little over 2 foot long. Boat is in storage now. Note: When wiring pump pay close attention to + and - connections. Follow the directions because if hooked up wrong it will fry the auto switch.

I suppose you could just splice the wires for a cigarette lighter plug . US electric though is a different animal. Now you need to convert 110volt direct current to 12volt which is what the pump runs on.

I'm not sure about the 12v. I have my hot tub direct wired. The colors change by pressing the light button multiple times

Yes, This can be attached directly to a 12 volt battery. I would suggest running a inline fuse. There is not a power cord on the fan. There is just a little amount of wire off the bottom of the fan and you would run your own wire to make it a clean install.

I purchased the 12-Volt Adapter and it works wonderfully on long road trips for my old Pump In Style Orignal that I puchased in 2005. I do not have the Advanced model. 12 V is what I purchased, hope this answers your question.

Assuming you make the proper connections, the switch should do fine on a 12 V battery pump. My battery pump has the same float switch and is rated for 10 Amps at 125V.

Not sure what model that is, however my pump called for a 9VDC and this 12 worked just fine

In theory you can, but its not recommended and the NEC wouldn't approve. If you want to connect a 12 V battery to an inverter (to make it act as a power source) then look for an off-grid power inverter instead. They can come in 12V, 24V, 48V configurations.

While I have not tested it, I'd guess no. 12V parts and 120V parts are very different. If the pump has a power supply that plugs into the wall you can use the switch to turn the power supply on and off.

If I understand your question, Yes, you can connect an external battery to run the pump. I hooked up a 12 volt remote control to turn the pump on and off. However, you don't need the remote and can power directly from the battery.

Yes it is a 12 VDC pump. You must carefully look for the negative and positive markings near the terminals, mine were lightly stamped.

Yes you can use a converter 12 v.I have a bank of batteries and a converter 12 v., 1200 wat and works perfectly. Consumes about 300 wat
