I haven't tried using a 115V pump with a battery and an inverter. The last 115V pump I had was a Shurflo. I would plug it into the house. I had problems with it shorting out and tripping the customers breakers when it got wet.

This would be the best 115V pump to get.

I suppose if you enclosed your battery, pump, and inverter to prevent it from getting wet, it would work well.

Only draw back I can see would be cost. But if you already have an inverter, then it's not an issue.

WHAT I WAS ASKING IS USING A 115V PUMP AND PLUGGING IT INTO A CUSTOMERS HOUSE OR EVEN THE USE OF A GENERATOR OR INVERTER FROM YOUR TRUCK JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LESS TROUBLE THEN BATTERIES .THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY ,VIN

If you plug it into the customers house, there's a chance it could short out and trip their breakers from it getting wet. A generator runs on gas, so you might as well get a gas powered air pump.

An inverter to a separate battery from your truck would be the better way to go.
