How long does the battery backup last?

[Reefbox]

Helllo,

How long is a battery capable of running the nano streams during power failure b4 the battery dies?

12v?
24v?

Thanks

At 12V it will use 1 amp per 1hr so for each amp/hr of the battery it will run 1hr, the pump uses 1.75amps so then divide the total of the battery by 1.75.

As Shawn said, a 6055 uses a hair under 1amp per hour so a 24ahr 12V battery for example would run the pump for about 27-28hrs, a 6105 uses a bit more than 1 amp at 12V so in the same example a 24ahr battery lasts about 20hrs. At 24V the amps are about the same, slightly higher but not much about 1.2 for each pump.
