Hi John, I've used an Attwood waterbuster with three D size lead-acid gel cells yielding about 6-7volts, it hasn't burned out the motor yet and they hold a charge longer than nicad. With the higher voltage the pump moves as much water as you can with a standard hand pump, so in a real life situation it will move more water than one could manage by hand while trying to brace at the same time.
