Any users of this combo? Tell me about the ease of install and how long a run time you will get with various size battery's. Thanks in advance . Bill

I won't claim it is easy, some basic wiring is required. The 6105.50 is basically an auto switching junction block. Your transformer, pump and battery all connect to this device. It has a pig tail lead for connecting the battery and depending on the battery you choose and type of posts it utilizes you will have to provide the wiring to the pigtail. A 6105 running on 12V uses 1A about so figure on hour for every AH the battery is rated for. Additionally the battery will need to be wired to a trickle charger, this can be solar or a wall pack charger. In a pinch you can also use lantern batteries but with a 6105 it will only last about 1-2hrs. It is a very versatile solution but some DIY is required. I recommend only using sealed or gel batteries to avoid any risk of acid spills.

Roger thanks as usual. Do your dealers have these or order direct? Thanks Bill

We don't sell this item direct but Reef Exotics and Marine Depot both stock them.
