No. You need 12 volt AC to run a 12 volt AC motor, not 12 volt DC.

Will an inverter operate a sump pump?

Yes it is possible to use an inverter to run a sump pump. However it is a good solution because 120 volt pumps are very inefficient and your battery will soon be exhausted. A far better idea is to invest in a backup system with the most efficient 12 volt pump such as those from NexPump. These will pump up to 4 times as much water using the same battery.


Can a 9 volt 1600mA ac adapter be substituted for a 9 volt 300mA?

Yes, a 9 volt 1600 mA AC adapter can be substituted for a 9 volt 300 mA adapter. The mA number represents the highest allowable current to be drawn from the adaptor. The adaptor that you want to replace has only 300 mA maximum capacity. The new adaptor has five time the capacity of the old one which means that devices that draw up to 1600 mA can be connected to it. Depends on what you are pluging into.. if could possible run unit hot..


What happen if you run the pump dry?

You run out of water!
