HTH,

I picked up this unit on Friday at the local Canadian Tire. It was fully charged out of the box (I think someone had previously purchased it). On Saturday it ran my pump for 6 hours before signalling it was low on juice.

I then recharged it Saturday evening. The power went out as scheduled on Sunday morning and the battery pack kicked in to fire up the pump immediately. After 3 hours the readout was showing the battery to still be holding 70% of its charge. The power came on after 3 1/2 hours and the battery started its recharge program.

So I did not get a full test of it's potential. I will try that next weekend and see how long it takes to drain the battery.
