As the expression goes, “Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.” One of the easiest ways to prevent an aquarium from crashing is by connecting a pump or powerhead to a battery backup device. That way, if your home or office experiences expected or unexpected losses of power, your pump(s) will keep the moving water—which is essential for the survival of fish and coral. There are a variety of ways a power loss can occur. Here are a few common reasons:A Scheduled OutageUtility companies perform routine maintenance and equipment upgrades from time to time. Even though you’ll likely know of the outage in advance, it’s nice to have peace of mind that your pump will continue running uninterrupted to keep your livestock safe.A Repair OutageUnexpected circumstances, like an automobile accident or severe weather, can cause a power failure. Power lines can be damaged if a car crashes into a utility pole. Heavy rains or high winds can damage power lines. Keep your tank insulated from power interruptions with a battery backup.A Rotating OutageOften referred to as a “rolling blackout,” a rotating outage is a last-resort measure used by a utility company to avoid a total blackout. These can sometimes occur during heatwaves. Keep oxygen levels from plunging to dangerous levels by plugging your pump into the IceCap Battery Backup v3.0.A Major OutageNatural disasters like earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, and tornados can damage power equipment and networks resulting in large, widespread outages. If you live where hurricanes frequently make landfall, having a couple of battery backups connected to a pump can help keep your tank inhabitants alive. Which Pump Brands Can I Connect to the IceCap Battery Backup v3.0?One of the biggest benefits of the IceCap Battery Backup over competing brands is that it isn’t restricted to a single pump brand. The new battery backup v3.0 is compatible with most 24V or less variable speed DC pumps on the market today.Here are some popular pumps the IceCap Battery Backup V3 works with:Maxspect Gyre Pumps (All Models)IceCap Gyre Pumps including the IceCap Dual Pump WiFi Controller and the HYDROS WaveEngine*Reef Octopus Octo Pulse Pumps (All Models)*Requires HYDROS Battery Backup Kit AdaptersIMPORTANT: NOT compatible with Reef Octopus VarioS Pumps, EcoTech pumps, Tunze, or AI Nero pumps.IceCap Battery Backup v3.0 Detailed SpecsDC Charger: Input: 100V to 240V 50/60Hz | Output: 27V 600MAMain Unit DC: Output: 12V x 2.5A max | Input: 27V 1A maxFuse: 250V 10A 5x20mm fast blowCapacity: 2.5AhSize: 5.75in x 5in x 3.125in (WxLxH)Weight: 3.85lbs IceCap Battery Backup v3.0 ContentsBattery BackupBattery ChargerInstallation CablesBattery Backup Best Practices for Operation & MaintenanceThe IceCap Battery Backup v3.0 should be kept in an environment with a temperature of approximately 70º 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.NOTE: Depending on the pump and pump controller you are using, the pump may not slow down during a power loss when the battery backup is activated, as you might expect with a 12V battery (this is a 24V battery).How to Calculate Battery Run TimeThe IceCap Battery Backup v3.0 has a capacity of 2.5Ah.Using it with a pump that is drawing 0.2 Amps (0.2Amps = 200mA), the time that the battery will last is (2500) ÷ (0.2 x 1000) = (2500) ÷ (200)= 12.5 Hours.If instead of the current you have voltage and watts, then the formula is (mAh x Volts) ÷ (Watts x 1000) = (hours). If you have a pump that is drawing 12volts and 20 watts from the battery, it will last (2500 x 12) ÷ (20 x 1000) or 30000 ÷ 20000 = 1.5 hrs.WARRANTYCoralVue, Inc. and IceCap hereby guarantee this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of:1 YearWarranty is activated on the date of purchase.This Standard Limited Warranty applies and is limited as follows:To the product only as long as it remains in the possession of the original purchaser.To the product that has not been subject to accident, misuse or abuse.To the product that has not been modified, altered, defaced, or had repairs made or attempted by other than CoralVue, Inc.That CoralVue be immediately notified in writing within ten (10) days of first knowledge of defect by owner or his agent.That CoralVue, Inc. shall be given first opportunity to make any repairs, replacements or corrections to the defective construction within a reasonable period of time.Under no circumstances shall CoralVue and/or the Manufacturer be liable by virtue of this warranty or otherwise for damage to any person or property whatsoever for any special, indirect, secondary or consequential damages of any nature however arising out of the use or inability to use because of the product defect.PRODUCT SUPPORT
