The D-Battery 40 GPH Portable Air Pump is the simple one. Two D cells, bought separately, run it on a 5 to 30 gallon tank or bucket. A small stone and 2 ft of tubing ride inside the pump body, and a metal clip holds it to a rim, so it sits ready for a power cut at home or a morning at the pond.
The other four recharge over USB and run for a day or more. On 1800 mAh, the White Battery Air Pump lasts up to 26 hours steady. The Portable Live Bait Pump reaches 28 hours on 2000 mAh, and the Minnow Bucket Aerator 60 hours on its 4400 mAh option. Plug the Rechargeable Live Bait Aerator into the wall at home and its 2200 mAh battery takes over when the power drops.
All 5 picks for battery and rechargeable pumps come from the Pawfly collection.
