Schumacher Automotive Jump Stater/DC Power Source and Macerator

[mea305]

Hi Again.
To simplify explaining the nomenclature of the power source that does
work with my macerator, it is seen at the following URL:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00030BFJW/ref=nosim/102-2696726-3828901?n=15684181

The Macerator I have can be seen at the following URL:

http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-toilets-tanks/waste-water-pump-rv.htm

The page does not explain all of the information; according to the
material sent with the unit, it operates at 12VDC, 16Amps (with a 20
Amp fuse in the "trigger."

If, then, I use a standard automotive battery (will it be a difference
whether the auto battery is "good")? -- in the sequence of Charger +
battery to Macerator, would this be appropriate for the motor?

Thanks,

Mark

This will work:

..---------. +
| |-------------+----[Fuse]----+
| | | + | +
| Charger | [Battery] [Macerator]
| | | |
| |-------------+--------------+
'---------'

And yes, the battery has to be "good" - at least
good enough to supply the current needed by the
macerator. But a weak auto battery scrounged from
your car mechanic may be good enough.

Get a used battery from a wrecker (the ones they sell for $10 or so with a one
month warranty), it'll be good enough.

what happened to the battery in your RV?

Bye.
