Message: [QUOTE="MariaTeresa, post: 264033"] I run my pond on solar. If you are planning on connecting a pump to a battery, I highly suggest using a charge controller so as to protect the battery. There aren't really any decent long lived DC pumps I've found. I use an attwood bilge pump (500gph 1.5amp draw) but the first one (which kept a hole open this winter) only lasted 5 months. The pumps are cheap ($16) but having to wire them each time you replace it can be a pain. The batteries you linked to should be fine, any deep cycle battery is going to work. [/QUOTE]
