[QUOTE="Stu, post: 113231, member: 3704"] I run two by deep cycle 170Ah batteries on two 3700GPH Rule pumps (should be 7400GPH but actually is 5200GPH) which last in excess of 5hrs and leave the batteries half charged (check amp ratings on pumps as the advertised flow rates are not the only things that differ. I have both a Walbanker (which i have to use a petrol pump) and a conventional Grizzly Highbanker which i can run either elec or fossil fuel. I started out paranoid about "Nundle Guy", but after lugging batteries etc up hill and down, i am happy to have it out with him every day and not have to lug the batteries. If i'm not wanting people to know where i am, i use electric, otherwise i can't see the point as it is just so heavy. I made a cart system up whereby i can pull both the sluice and batteries along thru rough terrain but i still don't see the point unless i want to be ultra quiet. [/QUOTE]
