I just figured something out on my Ecotech Battery backups that means I wont need the tunze safety connector now.
Unreal! I almost just spent a ton of money for no reason!

Don't need the safety connector (cheap), or don't need the battery(expensive)? Or both? :) The safety connector is not just a switch, but also the (fused) breakout box – so how do you hook up to a backup system without it?
 
Short extra question to this topic:
Can the battery stay connected over a charger/conditioner to prevent running low on power?

Just to make sure it is always fully loaded when a power outbreak occurs.
Or do I make a mistake in my thinking.

Hey, I am looking for a battery backup for tunze pumps but I'm really curious what you found. Could you pm me this?
 
We use the smaller battery, you could use a car battery if you want, but I would get a solar battery, they are smaller, sealed units that do not vent. I did a test on mine and it ran for 5 days I believe.
They are deep cycle batteries, trolling motors batteries, I am sorry but I cannot post a link.
Thread #5 shows some pictures of batteries that I am speaking about.

I just opened the box on my Eco Tech batteries and replaced those for like $20 each, lol!
Eco Tech is charging $160 for a new battery. I watched a you tube video and replaced all 3 back ups for $60. Yahoooo!

Reviving and old thread. Sorry to bother @Brew12 but I’ve no knowledge myself so can’t judge what is good and what isn’t.

How do these look?

Batteries - SLA-Sealed Lead Acid Batteries - 12 Volt SLA Batteries - 40Ah- 80Ah - Page 1 - Battery Specialist Canada

Or would something else on there be better?

seems like things are advancing in terms of solar batteries and the like so anything new there?

cheers,
Tony

I think those would be fine. I haven't looked into it much, but I think solar batteries are just a deep cycle battery that is charged by solar panels. I don't believe they are anything all that special.

Those are nice batteries, but real expensive, I would try to stay sub 100 dollars, buy yeas those type batteries.
