<p>Thanks Jay ! I have project where I want to install a pump in a tank for remote watering. If the LCB is used, have you ever tried using a small ATV 12V AGM to allow the pump to run in wildfire smoke or at night? Just a switch to parallel the the LCB?</p>
<p>Anyone tried this? There are a bunch of LCB's on amazon also.</p>

<p>Probably an RV water pump? And an LCB should work. Who makes a good LCB for this Jay?<!-- o ignored --></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">Where can you find some small maximisers/optimisers for a solar-only pump. This would be for a surface pump like the Flojet 11, 12 or 17 litre/min pumps. They tend to keep the pump operating when a cloud goes over or in low-light conditions. I think they are available for the 9325 but its probably over-kill for the Flojets.<!-- o ignored --></p>
