Hey man I have a 12v pump and want to use it on my cooler to keep minnows alive. How can I run it off 110v. I don't want to have to lug a battery to run it at camp. Any ideas. It is a marine metal with alligator clips.

a 110 to 12 volt power supply
Run it off a small battery charger. I use to use a car battery charger at the cabin.

I thought about the battery charger I clamped the leads to the charger to the leads to the pump and it didn't come on?

Hello: To use a battery charger you have to have a non smart charger. Because the smart charger has to have a small charge feeding it to wake it up and turn it on .In my experience if you have a completely dead battery a smart charger will not work. Maybe someone else will have more information. Good Luck. O - R
You need to use an older charger. Not one of the newer "smart" chargers. Other than that just connect + to + and - to -.Quote:

I'm like Sliderman. Go to Walmart and get a 10.00 aquarium pump and be done with it. That's what I use for my camp cooler/ minnow cooler.
