they draw 7amp hours on full power so its easy to work out.
you're unlikely to run a pump continuosly for 7-8hrs when working.
i use a 28a/h golf trolley battery as its small for my wfp trolley and it'll do 2 days

Leisure which can be had from either Halfords or a caravan center,the Halfords 1`s are a bit more and they do even larger 1`s than that which is good if you use hot water because the heater sapps the A*** out of em.

If your wiring into a battery from your van-car makesure you have a spare with you even if it`s an older 1 that will get the vehicle started at least,i prefer to keep the van battery for the van and the leisure batterys for the system.
