Yes they are the CT ones, they seem to work very well. I went with the smaller size ones so I only run the return pumps on them and nothing else. They ran for nearly an hour yesterday and were showing about 60% power remaining. I checked them about 10 minutes into the outage and they were all ready down to that value and then did not drop further until the power was back on. When I first got them, I calculated that they should run my pumps for about four hours. Hopefully I never need more time than that. So far this was by far the longest outage I've needed them to cover.
