Going To Try And Switch To Battery From Gas On My Le'trap. Here's Some Data With 3 Different Scenarios

[John-Edmonton]

Lithium batteries are really dropping in price. I bought a 60Ah 12 volt for $279.00. My bilge pump draws 7.5 Ah at about 2200 gph. Under ideal conditions, I could get 8 hours of useage. Usually I am done after 4-5 hours at a stretch. I will be using a solar charger with it, so, that leaves me a bit of room to add another bilge pump if needed. The drop riffles on a Le'Trap don't need as much water flow to produce a reversal eddy to catch gold like my expanded metal.

Here's a video with my bilge and Le'Trap. The 180 degrees is off slightly, so you will see a bit more discharge on the one side. To increase my gph, I can lower the intake hose for my hopper.

I run 2 of those pumps these days. One was ok but 4000gph really cleans everything and the riffles run better. One is enough but 2 runs a lot faster 😀
