Eco-Worthy 12 Volt Well Pump Bucket Test, Powered by a Kobalt 40v Battery

I also tested using a Black and Decker 20V Max battery thru the same board and it powered it fine.
Amp draw at the battery was about 3.5 amps, no change in amp draw from the pump.

This pump will be going down an old well located on my property that was drilled in the 1960s.
I am assuming it is about 400 feet deep, but have only confirmed 100 feet cuz that is how long my longest tape measure is.
Water level in the well is about 10 feet below grade.
The plan is to drop this pump about 75 feet down the well so I can have an emergency source of water should there be an interruption in the public water supply for any reason.
The pump is 12 volts, so it can be run off a car battery, solar panel, or the testing rig that I thru together.

Here are some links to the Pump and other items used in this test:
