Would a 12VDC motorcycle battery last all day on my new Sprayer made with a Shurflo 12vdc 45psi pump on top of a 5gal. bucket..? Or how many SFT will it cover before recharging..? Anyone know or have experience with these battery sprayers..? |

| Checked around and a converter would be $130 for a 10amp.. Or $50 for a 5amp.. i can get a new shurflo AC from Interlink for $116.. So the battery is the way to go on this one.. |
