Just Bought My Second Deep Cycle Battery
By Richard J.
Tinley Park, Illinois
Purchased 02/01/2018 |
Review Posted 02/23/2018
I bought a battery back up sump system four years ago this month and installed the P20233 deep cycle battery. At the same time, I replaced my primary pump, so everything started out fresh and new.
Fortunately, over the next four year period, I never lost household AC power, so I never needed the secondary back up pump. However, during huge storms, I would occasionally unplug both pumps from AC power to let the secondary pump run on DC (battery) power, just to keep the battery honest.
Last year on the 3rd anniversary date of the installation, I tested the battery by unplugging the pumps from AC power. The battery did its job.
This year, just days short of the 4th anniversary of the installation, we had a huge storm so I tested the battery once again. It failed, quickly dropping to 6% under load.
So, the battery lasted between 3 and 4 years. Fair enough, since the warranty is good for 3 years and the suggested life span of the battery is 3 to 5 years.
My suggestion to others considering this battery is to test it monthly and let the backup pump run under DC power occasionally to prolong the life of the battery. You don't want to lose AC power during a storm only to find out that your battery is bad.

I review everything. With a good review from others and a three year warranty this battery was my pick. I hope the price was worth it. We'll see.

Sump Pump Battery

This is a heavy unit, solidly built in a sturdy case. Came charged enough to install and test out sump pump, then finished charging. Great.

Great Service From Sump Pumps Direct
By Charles S.
Louisville, Kentucky
Purchased 12/11/2015 |
Review Posted 12/12/2015
Purchased this item in late May 2015 and it had to be returned under warranty along with a Zoeller DC Charger Control Box after 5 months in November 2015. The charger alarm kept sounding even after shutting off the alarm off button. I contacted Zoeller service and they did an online trouble shoot, determining that both the Charger and battery were bad. Told me to return both under warranty.
I then contacted Sumps Pumps Direct service and was told to return only the defective items after first being told to return the whole Zoeller backup sump M508 kit. Which I didn't want to do, since some fittings in the kit (tee's, etc.) were glued in and I would lose function of my main Zoeller M98 pump.

Manufacturer REFUSED warranty claim
By Andrew Y.
Lombard, Illinois
Purchased 02/12/2013 |
Review Posted 06/16/2015
Bought this battery 02/19/2013. On 6/1/15 my charger indicated that battery is under 8 volts. I test it and it shows 2 volts and needs to be replaced. I called the manufacturer, since I'm in the same Metropolitan area they told me to just drive out and bring it with me to replace. When I get there they tell me the battery was manufactured over 3 yrs ago and they refused warranty. I bought it 2 yrs and almost 4 months ago. Exactly how is it over 3 yrs. Basically the manufacturer refuses to honor the warranty. Also they said that the charger or the backup system must have damaged the battery... really??? I wasn't born last night dear manufacturer. If you say 3 yrs, HONOR it please.

Review Posted 04/22/2015
I purchased two of these batteries to go along with an iON StormPro. So far the StomPro charger has charged both batteries and is not reporting any issues with them.
One thing, the manufactured date on the batteries was almost a year from the day they arrived at my house. I'm not sure if that matters for this type of battery, but it would have been nice to have a "fresher" battery.
These batteries are really heavy! I hope they last at least 4-5 years. I will test the system regularly to make sure they still have life.

The battery arrived with a full charge. No chance, yet, to see how it will perform connected to a back up sump pump, but it tested just fine.

Received at a reasonable time and as described. Easy to install. Not much to comment since it has been recently installed and may have to wait 1 to 2 years to actually observe its performance.
