Best Answer

1 hp is 746 watts but you have to allow extra for losses. So for 1.5 hp you need about 1400 watts to be supplied, which at 12 v is a current of 117 amps.

A car battery is about 40 amp-hours therefore 3 batteries would be needed, connected in parallel, 4 to be sure. Also needed is an inverter to convert 12 v to the voltage of the pump motor, and AC 50/60 Hz if that is what it needs.

How many btu per horsepower?

There are no BTUs per horsepower. A British Thermal Unit is an archaic unit of measurement of energy, whereas a horsepower is an archaic unit of measurement for power. As energy and power are two different quantities, you question is akin to asking, "How many miles are there in a mile per hour?"

Why some car batteries have water in them?

to help it speed it upAll car batteries work with a weak acid in them. Many modern batteris are 'low maintenance', so they don't need looking at. Most older car batteries needed topping-up with pure water (not tap water) as evaporation occured.

One horsepower equals how many miles per hour?

Horsepower doesn't determine speed. Even with the weight of the vehicle, climate (road conditions, etc.) and every other factor, horsepower still doesn't translate to an exact speed, but rather a potential amount of power that can be applied.

2.1 horsepower is how many kilometers per hour?

There is no sensible answer to this question. A horsepower is a measure of power, with dimensions [ML2T-3]. A kilometre per hour is a measure of speed, with dimensions [LT-1]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions without additional information. mll/ttt
