There are millions of batteries manufactured each year, so it is impossible to guarantee consistent quality. A defective battery will never become 

fully charged and may damage the charging circuits of the Control. It is for this reason that Zoeller offers its own line of batteries. We offer both 

a Water/Acid Deep-Cycle Battery and maintenance-free AGM battery which can run the pump continuously for over 7½ hours.  These times 

are based on continuous pumping at 10' of static head. Actual times will vary depending on static head, volume of water entering the pit, and 

the condition of the battery.

follow these recommendations:

•  Use a B.C.I. size 27 deep-cycle battery, 175 minute reserve capacity, or larger.

•  Do NOT use a “maintenance-free” battery unless it is a Gel-filled or AGM battery.

•  Replace your battery every 3 years.

•  Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals.

•  Do not place your battery on a concrete floor where it will discharge faster.

•  To check specific gravity, follow the instructions on a hydrometer (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries).

PRotect YoUR WARRAntY:  

•  Water level in batteries must be checked once a month (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries).
