  • Basement Watchdog backup and combo systems include a special battery cap to accommodate battery fluid sensor
  • Very high reserve capacity; can run the Basement Watchdog backup systems continuously for hours or intermittently for days
Unique construction:
  • Heavy duty plates store more energy and provide longer run times
  • Standby construction allows the battery to last longer
  • Years of useful life
  • The wet cell batteries accommodate the Basement Watchdog fluid sensor which sounds an alarm when water is needed
