Vortech battery back up vectra L2

[FishOkay]

Does anyone have any idea how long the vortech battery would keep my Vectra L2 return pump going at say 100%? Realistically I only really want/need it to run for an hour or so on battery. Is that realistic?

A precise run time is extremely hard to quantify- is it a brand new battery backup? Batteries deteriorates over time, there's a lot of external factors. The runtime of the of return pump when being powered by the backup can be influenced by a number of different factors, many of which you cannot control.

Have you bought the backup already?

Try this battery calculator or any equivalent online ones.

Your battery is 18 AH / 12 volts. You will know the power consumption of your return pump at 100%.

Thank you very much for the link I will take a look! And no I haven't bought the battery back up yet just trying to find the best option. The vortech is probably the simplest solution but I was also thinking of attempting a DIY battery back up as I do have a 1500w inverter I could hook up to a battery it's just I wouldn't know white to start regarding a transfer switch and all that.
