Depends on how much current the pump requires and how long you want to run it before recharging or replacing the battery, can you post a link to the pump?

Hi,

Batteries are rated in Ampere-Hours.

How many amperes does you pump draw?

How many hours to you need to run it before recharging the battery?

That defines the ampere-hour battery rating you need.

Iff the battery can provide the current required, though.

(Battery's continuous current in mA = battery's capacity in mAh x its "C" rating")
