Wayne WSB1275 - Maintenance Free AGM Backup Sump Pump Battery (75 Amps)

Just tested this battery after three and one half years connected to back up sump pump. Never had power outage where we needed it to work, so it's just been sitting there on it's trickle charger waiting for an emergency. Tested it and it did not run the pump. Red light came on. Took it to OReilly Auto to be tested and it came up as bad. 200 CCA.

This battery is supposed to last 10 years. Did not make it.

We had a 23 hour power failure and water got into our lower level because without power there was no pumping of the sump. I ordered the Wayne WSS30 and the Wayne 75 amp battery. Installation was simple and the unit drains the sump in a few seconds using either the regular pump or the back-up unit. FYI, I have an eleven foot rise. The only mistake on my part was not installing the system before the disaster. Worth every penny!

I chose Wayne because of their Maintenance Free Battery. Both pumps work perfectly from the day I installed them.

The only thing I would suggest is to simplify the instructions. After sorting thru a pile about a ½” thick covering all types of pumps, except the ones I bought, the instructions that pertained to my pumps would have fit on one side of a postcard, a diagram with key, period.

Except for the instruction fiasco, an excellent product!!

The unit arrived in a very timely manner. I was not aware that the PVC fittings came with the unit as well. It's just as the picture shown on the web site. So that save's a trip to the hardware store. Very easy to install, and it works like a champ.

Bought the kit and battery together. Kit got here first, battery took a couple extra days. The kit was easy to install and the pump drains my sump in no time.

The battery was a little pricey but has worked well so far. Would have probably been better off buying a battery locally...less cost and no wait.

I have had the system for for a couple of months and so far so good.

I am a woman in my 60's living alone. A plumber who was working on something else told me that I needed to replace the battery in my backup sump pump and that it would cost $400. So I looked on the internet for a company from whom I could purchase the battery and found this company near my home. The man on the phone was helpful and friendly. A friend was kind enough to install it for me. However, the light on the pump is still yellow ("Low battery") after more than week of charging. I don't know if I was sold a nearly dead battery or if there is something else wrong. I have no recourse unless I want to spend hundreds more to have a serviceman come to my home. I'm very disappointed.

Still early days but stays "green" on the charger and can relax during the storms as we are now covered if the power is out a day or two. Decent price and quick ship.
