Umbra Pompe Baby Battery Submersible Pumps – Low Voltage DC Pumps for Bilges & Drainage

The Umbra Pompe Baby Battery range consists of compact, low‑voltage submersible pumps designed for portable drainage and transfer applications where mains power is not available. These battery‑operated pumps are ideally suited for use in boat bilges, sumps, leisure applications, light industrial use, and general water transfer and filling tasks.
Powered entirely by an external battery, the Baby Battery pumps are a popular choice for marine environments and mobile drainage situations where safe, low‑voltage operation is required.

What are Baby Battery pumps used for?

  • Boat bilges and marine drainage
  • Sumps and confined spaces
  • Leisure and caravan applications
  • Portable water transfer and filling
  • Light industrial and processing tasks
  • General drainage where mains power is unavailable

Construction and Operation

The Baby Battery series are low‑voltage D.C. submersible water pumps designed for intermittent use. Both models operate with an approximate 20‑minute duty cycle, making them suitable for short‑duration pumping tasks rather than continuous operation. Their compact and lightweight design allows for easy installation and handling in tight spaces.
All pumps are supplied with a 5‑metre PVC power cable, pre‑fitted for easy connection to an external battery using crocodile clips.

The range includes two models, named according to their operating voltage:

Baby Battery 12

Voltage: 12V
Flow rate: 55 litres per minute

We are often asked how to attach the hose to a pump, and have created this 'how-to' video to demonstrate. The pump and accessories listed are all available at floodandwaterpumps.co.uk

Common questions

What can the Baby Battery pump be used for, and can it handle dirty water?

It is a low-voltage pump mainly for boat bilges, and also for sumps, leisure use and general drainage or transfer where there is no mains power. It is rated for clean and dirty water between 0°C and 35°C, but its free passage is small, so keep larger debris away from the strainer. It is designed to run for about 20 minutes at a time, not continuously.

Does the Baby Battery pump have its own battery?

No. It has no internal battery and is not rechargeable. It connects to an external 12V or 24V battery, such as a car, leisure or marine battery, using the crocodile clips on its 5 metre power cable. The 12V model draws about 14 amps and the 24V model about 8.8 amps, so running time depends on the capacity and charge of your battery.

How much water does the Baby Battery pump?

The Baby Battery 12 delivers up to 55 litres per minute with a maximum head of 6.3 metres. The Baby Battery 24 delivers up to 69 litres per minute with a maximum head of 7.8 metres. Flow falls as you lift water higher or push it through longer hose, so keep the lift and hose run as short as you can.

Should I choose the manual or automatic Baby Battery?

Choose automatic if you want it to look after a bilge or sump by itself: its pendant float switch starts and stops the pump with the water level. The manual version runs whenever it is connected to the battery, so it suits attended transfer and drainage jobs. Both share the same performance, 25 mm outlet and 3.6 kg weight.

What hose do I need for the Baby Battery pump?

The pump has a 25 mm outlet and comes with a hose tail, so use 25 mm (1 inch) hose. Layflat hose is light and rolls up for occasional drainage and transfer, while a reinforced hose suits a permanent bilge installation. Secure the hose with a hose clip. The box contains the pump, the 5 metre cable with crocodile clips and the hose tail.
