Fatboy 12v pump verdict and lessons learned

Get rid of all those 90 deg elbows. And if you’re going to be using it for long days, get another battery and hook up parallel.

What kind of batteries you using??

Marine deep cycle battery is preferred choice. Car battery will work, but marine ones are made to work best when you are charging/discharging often.

If I remember correctly, Racer uses one of these in his video:

There’s quite a few threads online concerning this, with more technical info on how to charge them best, hook up parallel, and how to hook up to the pressure washer or vehicle to charge.

Also, if you go to a battery store, you can find refurbished ones. My local shop had a refurbished deep cycle for $50. I’m using a little lawnmower battery on mine, because i only use it for a transfer pump, and backup.

@tireshark nailed it. Got a 24 series marine duty cycle battery from menards for $70. Exide Nautilus I think it’s called.
