marine battery as power source for power outage

[kevin911]

I was wondering if anybody ever turn a marine battery for boat into a power source to run an air pump during power outage.

I have three power packs that are essentiallly big batteries. I've used them a few times. Each has to plugs. I've run air stones and also briefly run canister filters, too. I"ve never had to use them for long periods of time, though.

Holly..do you have experience using computer backup batteries? Like APC towers?

No. I did a lot of research a few years back and the Power Packs lasted longer and were reasonably priced. They also can be recharged from your car.
