What Is a Sump Pump Battery Backup?

  • Battery backup for a sump pump is just that, a battery system that kicks in to keep your sump pump running when the electrical power goes out. Typically, a sump pump battery backup system at most properties consists of a battery, a charger, and additional piping. Because the battery backup requires no electrical outlet current, it kicks in when most needed.
  • Almost any sump pump can run off a 12-volt battery if needed, but there are better options that ensure the job gets done. Our experts recommend a lead-acid, deep-cycle battery for most sump pump battery backups offered, rated to at least 75 amp-hours. For more heavy-duty work, consider installing a backup battery system rated to 120 amp-hours. The team at Walder Foundation Products can help you calculate the perfect size for the water mitigation capacity you need.
