Talk about coincidence...

I lost power for 16 hrs during that last blow and didnt have that battery system sorted out. Instead I wrapped the tank in blankets, did some salt water cooking with the Coleman stove, and lots of manual stirring.

I did hit Can Tire and got one of their generators but I still would like a short term automatic battery system of some sort. I'm planning to continue with the project in Jan once back from the holidays.

In the meantime has anyone had experience with running pumps/powerheads on inverted DC power?

My Quiet 1 6000 & Mag 9 both run on a Cdn Tire Eliminator and Nautilus deep cycle battery. No problem at all.
