    Utility pump
    This is a question from the Sgt.Dear Sgt. Dillingham, We are wondering what the amps is for a 12 volt pump that runs off a 12 volt battery. I don't know

    Do you know the amperage draw of the water pump? If it has a motor it might require more at startup. The RPSL-7000 is only rated at 6 amps. We have other power supplies that are bigger if needed. Go to the link below.

    Subject: Customer Service Request from Sgt. Dillingham

    I HAVE A 12 VOLT UTILITY WATER PUMP THAT RUNS OFF A 12 VOLT BATTERY.

    TO PLUG IT INTO A HOUSEHOLD OUTLET. I WOULD NEED INVERTER 120VAC TO 12vdC

    WOULD YOUR rpsl 7000 HANDLE THIS CONVERSION

    There is no "average" You need to know the Amperage draw to know what you need.

    Amps X volts =watts. X 12 = ? Can't solve with 2 unknowns.

    I cannot find the answer in the instruction sheet about amps. Curious wanted to know
    If a pump that runs off a 12 volt battery can be converted to a household outlet. With installing
    A three prong plug. But they must know what amps the pump draws. The converter only goes to 7.5 amps
