can this be used as a backup power source for a sump pump?

Hello,Due to the energy surge required to start most sump pumps the PowerPack Pro 600 is not well suited for this application.Thank you,Battery-Biz® Inc.

sorry dude, i would'nt know. i would call the manufacturer for info. number is probably on instruction booklet, good luck.

Yes. I have it as a back battery supply for my alarm system. it only gets activated during a power outage (which is pretty infrequent). But it faithfully recharges as soon as the power comes back on. This one looks identical to the one I had previously used....and that one lasted seven years. Hope that helps.

This power supply is designed for providing a very clean sine wave power for sensitive computers and other electronics for a very short period. This power supply will not work well with a sump pump which needs more capacity an does not need a clean sine wave for power.

I doubt it. It is made for an outboard to feed the water pump while running out of water. This thing does NOT work anyway. Don't waste your money.

not really sure,i use mine to charge 12 volt battery to pump water from rainbarrel system,works good!

I use it for a water pump in my park model because my park model does not have 12 volt, the pump works on demand. My suggestion would be to consider the amps needed also before purchasing anything. Hope this helped

probably not. the APS will provide power for about 30 minutes. It would be useful only if your sump pump needs to run continuously or your house power is out for an extended period of time. You would be better served by investing in a generator. This would provide house power for as long as the gasoline holds out and it will provide power for your refrigerator, lights, microwave, TV, etc. as well as the sump pump.

This unit requires a power source. I would not purchase it. I have found better that would work for your application.

I have not used it for that purpose. You need to check the specs on the specific pump to see if the power requirement is less than the 175 watt rating of the inverter. If so it should work fine.

I suppose it would depend on the wattage. I have not used mine yet as it is an emergency back up. All the best!

All depends on how many amps of power the pump needs. Since it is usb. 2.0 it can only supply 1amp

Yes. It WILL convert battery power (DC) to AC to run a 3/4 hp pump. 1 hp = 746 watts, so no problem. However, this will NOT function as a solar charger for a battery. Make sure you account for that in your system.

That would depend on the amperage of your sump pump and the length of your extension cord... By doing a little research online, I would say that if your sump is 6 amps or below and you limit the length of your extension to 50 ft or 75 ft at the longest you should do okay. This is just my opinion as I have not run a motor with an extension on my own unit. I have had my unit for a year and love it. We use it to charge phones, computers, lights, Ipods, etc... when camping. We keep it busy and use it a lot. We have done away with D batteries for flashlights and fans. :D

Yes, you can use it, but regarge it before taking to outside. Unfortunately, it does not keep long power supply as characterized by producent.

Well the pump is a submersible pump so if you have it plugged into a place that the plug is protected from the environment I do not see why not.

Potentially, if the voltage and amperage are correctly matched. I would suggest purchasing a wall plug w/ the correct adaptor for your unit though. I use this b/c my portable pump has a direct power cord from the unit and no adaptor.

That seems like a huge waste for a UPS, since you can get a battery backup specifically built for a sump pump that would be cheaper (less than $200) and better designed for that purpose. You are paying for a lot of power protection features here that would be unnecessary, and the battery would probably be dead in a couple hours versus a sump backup battery that could last days. Also, I'd be concerned about the water of the environment you'd place this in.
