i was wondering if someone could give advice, I need a battery to run a 12v 3amp water pump for at least 5hrs.
whats the best battery to use for under $100? a multi purpose battery would be ideal, but im not picky. I looked up some but I dont know if they are any good.... if you know of a better battery than what i found, please tell me. thank you

3 amps of 12v is 36 watt hours. So to be conservative and help avoid deep discharges, figure at least 48 wh per hour of pump use.

So that's about 4 ah of a 12v pack. per hour you run it. A 20 ah pack is the bare minimum you should buy.

Which of those you listed is any good? Who knows?
