When you don't need a big battery, what?

[dsuden]

I have a small boat I need to be able to pump the water out of after it rains, however I don't plan to have any kind of motor in the boat. What I'm looking for is a small battery that can carry enough of a charge to run the bilge pump for five minutes. What would be a good inexpensive option?

Cabelas has an option you may like. It's a small 12v rechargeable battery.

Hope this helps

Home depot and lowes sell 12v batteries for lawn mowers that work to run accessories run. I have one on my boat for nav lights and bilge pump.

Would one of these work? No battery. I have seen some on the internet that look to be better made than this one from cabelas.

Homedepot and lowes also sell the 12v sealed batteries too in the lighting department. You just have to find a charger.

Get a 12 volt battery and charger that goes in a Vexular unit. They usually last a long time

I use a Lawn mower battery. Runs my lights all night long and will still start the Lawn mower in the morning.
I row. No trolling motor. The Bilge pump is kinda iffy, but you can use a Cut down Clorox bottle for that too.
