You need to find out what class battery it is - A, B or C.

I’d say that if your only running a pump and a powerup reel then this will be fine.

Same goes as with any battery though, get a good charger and never let it get too depleted. It’ll last you many years to come if you do that.

I had a look and couldn't see their class rating. Its always good to have an outside company test the performance of the batteries. (NCC Verified.) Sometimes the manufacturer can hype up their product.

As Jonny posted, it would be good to run a pump and electric reel if the manufacturers specs are right.

You will also need a 20 amp intelligent battery charger.

You also need to consider the weight. Its a beast. At 41kgs its heavy.  If you have to take the battery inside for charging then you must consider this.

Yes the weight is a consern I have a an electric van and weight is on the limit I may get a half the size of that battery. 

Ism using a standard car battery at the moment I get 2 days out if it then I full y charge it I think if I buy s half the size one that's in the link. I will be ok.
