Anyone know of a battery backup solution for these? or really any DC return pump? I think vortech has something for theirs but like all of their stuff $$$$...
I'm going to get a 100aH AGM 12v deep cycle battery to run my two gyre pumps in low voltage mode off my wave engine but was also thinking about return pump (yes I know its not REALLY necessary)
I'm using the circuit board out of one of my Ice Cap G1 batteries (battery is dead) to tie the larger battery to it.
However the return pumps are anywhere from 24vdc to 48vdc and much more current.
I think the Varios is 36v and maxspect jumps are 24v. So was going to try and figure out how to hook up a battery backup to one.
I was thinking a dc-dc booster to get to correct voltage along with a diode similar to above to prevent pump power supply from feeding the booster and battery.
24V
36V
Other issue I think is going to be battery longevity with these higher power return pumps.
At 70w/36v that is around 1.9A for varios 6 and 90w/24v is around 3.75A for the mj-dc8k maxspect pump.
Let me know if you are aware of other options or have implemented something similar.
