Anybody tried to run 6v 12ah for Liquid Fishing Thresher Tank which has 12V pump.

I am using 12 V 7ah, It lasts only 5hrs.

Thanks

Yes, it works. The battery will last longer.

thats what i am running right now. the 6v will run it all day. i have fished it for over 10 hrs one day and it was still strong.

Would you have to buy a 6v charger as well? I'm assuming a 12v charger isn't appropriate for charging 6v batteries.

THat's right. You've got to have 6V charger. I've been using the one of those little ones with 6V / 12V switch. Worked fine.

I had 6V battery on a bait tank for a long time. It runs forever, it is less noisy... You better keep an eye on the water intake though as the water-flow with 6V seems to stop much easier when you get eelgrass and other crap on your filter...

I don't use it any more as I have a kayank with a timer switch and a 12V battery that powers everything.

If you already have 12volt batts and charger you may want to look in to a timer switch - contact AYS.
