What battery backup...

[ChiCity]

... do you guys use?

I'm looking to grab one for my return pump, which is a tunze 1073.020

I have a mame overflow and due to the height of my display the siphon does not restart after electrical interruptions.
So this is a glaring weak spot I need to address.

Thank you in advance your help is greatly appreciated

Is this not common?

I'm UPS on my system. It enables my APEX to keep things running in the event of an outage.

Thank you @Salty1962 and @twilliard
Your input is greatly appreciated...

So I'm looking at this particular backup...
Your thoughts?
I'm not well versed in electrical things but what sort of time can I expect from this powering a pump that draws 30watts at max setting?
Pump is not running max though, it's at 1/3 but I'm not sure of the electrical affect on draw.

Thanks guys, I always see your posts helping out other reefers and the community thanks you for it!!

That should do long enough to keep things going until the power comes back on or get a generator hooked up and going.

We use APC battery backups in the fish diagnostic lab that I work for and we have never seen any issues with any of the equipment. They are mainly for the time between when the power goes off and when the generators kick in. I will am also looking for a battery backup and will probably go with APC mainly because I have experience with them and can see how they work and operate.

I don't know if you already have one but At 130$, you might want to just look at the 200$ generators.
