Elect. Guru help - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I am talking with a company that assembles Lifepo4 batteries about making some 6v batteries for bait tanks. They need to know what continuous current will be required for the batteries. I have looked at the 5 or 6 pumps that I have and see 1.8 - 2.5a at 12v on them. I believe they will draw the same amps when stepped down to 6v, but wanted to double check. Anyone running a 500gph pump that draws more than 2.5a?
I am checking into both 12a and 20a versions with and without the sealed ABS housings depending on size.
