Introducing the Liberty Pumps StormCell® Battery Back-Up Pump Systems, a highly advanced and reliable solution designed to provide uninterrupted flood control for your basement in the event of power outages or main pump failures. Available in two models—10 Amp Standard and 25 Amp Heavy-Duty—these 12-volt battery backup pumps are built to protect your home, giving you peace of mind during storms or emergencies. Whether you’re looking for standard backup protection or a more robust system capable of continuous operation, the StormCell series has a model to suit your needs.
Both systems share core features, including energy-efficient pumps, advanced chargers, intelligent microprocessor control, and reliable alarms. However, there are key differences in power capacity, battery accommodations, and overall functionality. In this detailed comparison, we will break down the features of both the StormCell 10 Amp and StormCell 25 Amp models to help you decide which backup system best meets your home’s needs.
The StormCell 10 Amp model is designed for homes that require reliable backup pumping power without the need for continuous operation. This standard model is an excellent option for homeowners who want a robust, energy-efficient solution for dealing with unexpected power failures or main pump malfunctions.
Key Features of the StormCell 10 Amp Model:
Energy-Efficient 12V DC Pump: The 10 Amp model is powered by a highly efficient 12-volt direct current (DC) pump, which has been manufactured in the USA by Liberty Pumps. This pump is engineered to move large amounts of water with minimal energy consumption, ensuring that your basement remains protected while conserving power.
Professional-Grade 10A Charger/Controller: The 10 Amp charger/controller is designed to maintain battery life and provide consistent power to the backup system. With a 6' power cord for the charger and an 8' power cord for the pump, installation is straightforward and flexible.
Battery Compatibility: The system works with a variety of battery types, including Wet Cell, AGM, and gel-type batteries, providing versatility in battery selection. The included single battery box can accommodate one Group 27 or 31 battery.
Microprocessor with Energy-Efficient Switch Mode Technology: The intelligent microprocessor ensures optimal energy efficiency by managing power usage based on the system’s needs. This helps extend the runtime of the backup pump during prolonged outages.
User Interface and Alarm System: The remote wall-mount user interface includes an LCD display that provides real-time information on system status, battery levels, and pump performance. The audio alarm alerts homeowners in the event of pump activation, power loss, or other emergencies, while a super-bright red LED alarm ring provides a visual alert. The system also features a 9V battery backup that powers the alarm for up to 72 hours in standby mode.
Pump and Alarm Test Buttons: The built-in test buttons allow you to check the operation of the pump and alarm system periodically, ensuring that the system is functioning properly before an emergency arises.
High Water Float Switch: The compact “snap-on” activation float switch with integral alarm float switch fits 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" pipes. Additionally, the system includes a high-water float switch that acts as a redundant “on” switch to provide extra protection.
Tee and Fittings for Easy Installation: The 10 Amp model comes with all the necessary components, including a backup connection tee, primary pump check valve, and slip coupler, making installation simple and efficient.
For homes that require a more robust solution, the StormCell 25 Amp model offers heavy-duty protection and the capability to operate as a continuous power supply for the backup pump in the event of a main pump failure. This makes it the ideal choice for larger homes or areas prone to frequent or extended power outages.
Key Features of the StormCell 25 Amp Model:
High-Output 12V DC Pump: Like the 10 Amp model, the 25 Amp version is powered by an energy-efficient 12-volt DC pump manufactured by Liberty Pumps. This pump is designed to handle higher volumes of water and provides reliable protection during more severe weather conditions.
Heavy-Duty 25A Charger with Fan Cooling: The 25 Amp system includes a heavy-duty 25-amp charger with built-in fan cooling. This charger is designed to support continuous operation of the backup pump, allowing the system to run indefinitely if necessary. This is particularly useful for homes in areas with frequent power outages or where extended backup protection is required.
Dual Battery Box: The 25 Amp system can accommodate two Group 27 or 31 batteries, doubling the backup power and significantly extending the system’s runtime during an emergency. This added battery capacity ensures that the pump can operate for extended periods without interruption.
Microprocessor with Energy-Efficient Switch Mode Technology: Like the 10 Amp version, the 25 Amp model is controlled by a microprocessor that optimizes energy usage to maximize the system’s efficiency.
User Interface and Alarm System: The 25 Amp model features the same remote wall-mount user interface with LCD display, audio alarm, and LED alerts as the 10 Amp model. The 9V battery backup for the alarm system also provides up to 72 hours of standby power for notifications in the event of an outage.
Continuous Power Capability: The 25 Amp system is designed to provide continuous power to the backup pump if the primary pump fails. This feature sets it apart from the 10 Amp model, making it ideal for homes that require maximum protection against flooding.
High Water Float Switch and Additional Components: Like the 10 Amp system, the 25 Amp model includes a compact activation float switch, high water float switch, and the necessary tee and fittings for standard installations.
The StormCell 10 Amp model is ideal for homeowners who want dependable flood protection during power outages but do not require continuous operation or extended runtime. Its single battery box provides enough backup power for typical emergencies, and the 10A charger efficiently recharges the battery after use. This model is well-suited for most residential applications, providing a cost-effective solution for basement protection.
On the other hand, the StormCell 25 Amp model offers heavy-duty performance, including the ability to power the backup pump continuously in the event of primary pump failure. With a dual battery box and a fan-cooled 25A charger, this system is designed for homes that experience frequent or prolonged outages. The 25 Amp model provides extra capacity and peace of mind, especially in regions prone to severe weather.
Key Differences:
Charger Capacity: The 10 Amp model features a professional-grade 10A charger, while the 25 Amp model includes a heavy-duty 25A charger with fan cooling for continuous operation.
Battery Capacity: The 10 Amp model accommodates one battery, while the 25 Amp model supports two, offering significantly more backup power.
Continuous Power: The 25 Amp model can run continuously as a primary power source in case of main pump failure, whereas the 10 Amp model is designed for backup purposes only.
Usage: The 10 Amp system is ideal for moderate use in homes with occasional outages, while the 25 Amp system is better suited for high-risk areas or larger homes requiring continuous protection.
