I'm looking into some kind of battery backup system that will keep my return pump and power head running for 8+ hours. Where I live we have very few outages and they rarely last more than an hour and most being less. Very rare to experience an outage more than a couple hours. Still, I want this backup to keep my pumps running as a safeguard. I've got a 120 gallon aquarium that I will be running as fish only. Not as sensitive as a reef but still want the added security of the backup. I've been reading tons of threads on here and some people say they last 7 hours or so and others are saying 1 to 2 hours. No one says what they're powering in terms of wattage or amps so I'm having trouble figuring out what length of time I'll get.
I will be running an e-flux 6011 DC return pump (16 to 80 Watts) and an e-flux 6005 DC circulation pump (2 to 10 watts). If we round up to 100 watts as the maximum then that would equate to around .85 amps/hour correct? If I get a UPS with 9AH then I should get 10+ hours out of it right? Am I considering everything in my assessment?
Any help would be great!!
