Product Description
In the event of a power outage, is your tank protected?
When it comes to a power failure, it's not a matter of if, but when. Fish and corals can perish in as little as 4 hours without water flow. The IceCap Battery Backup Version 3.0 will keep your flow pump running uninterrupted in the event of a power loss for ~35 hours*. You can connect two pumps to the battery backup and run them simultaneously for ~17 hours after the power goes out. To double your backup run time, you can even connect two battery backups together for further protection.

Which Pump Brands Can I Connect to the IceCap Battery Backup v3.0? /strong>

Battery Backup Best Practices for Operation & Maintenance
The IceCap Battery Backup v3.0 should be kept in an environment with a temperature of approximately 70d F for optimal operation. The life of the battery will depend on the number of discharges that the unit has cycled through. Every time the unit cycles, the life of the battery and its capacity are reduced.
