BATTERY
This backup system requires a good quality, 12V battery
in order to provide maximum pumping time when needed.
A Basement Sentry brand battery is recommended.
Otherwise, use an AGM deep-cycle 12 volt 105 amp-hour
marine battery or larger. Wet cell batteries contain acid
and precautions must be taken when handling.
DO NOT USE gel batteries or automotive batteries.
Batteries with top terminals are recommended for ease of
installation.
Battery box will accommodate a maximum battery size of
13-1/2-in L x 7-in. W x 9-1/2-in H.
NOTE: The water level in a wet cell battery should be
checked every month. AGM batteries should not be
checked.
Battery Troubleshooting:
If pump runs without AC power but moves little or no
water, the battery may be low.
•
Battery will recharge if green power ‘on’ light indicates
power has been restored and the float switch is in the
off position.
• If immediate use is required, replace old battery with
a fully charged battery.
• NOTE: The pump may continue to run on a low
battery without sufficient power to remove water.
Pump will not stop running until battery drops below
minimum voltage.
• CAUTION: Weak batteries can be recharged but
may not store enough energy for full service. A weak,
recharged battery will provide reduced pumping time.
If the backup pump is used frequently, the battery
should be checked by a qualified battery dealer.
• NOTE: The battery may take up to 72 hours to
recharge after use. This will depend on the size of
the battery and the amount the battery is discharged
during use.
If the alarm sounds during the recharge cycle, reset the
alarm. If the alarm will not reset, unplug the charger from
the 115V outlet and disconnect the black (-) negative
lead from the battery post. Check battery and replace if
necessary. Reconnect and refer to the battery installation
section in the instructions.
