Hygger Rechargeable AC/DC Aquarium Air Pump (HG087)
The Hygger Rechargeable AC/DC Aquarium Air Pump (HG087) runs as a normal plug-in air pump every day, and when the power goes out it switches over to its built-in rechargeable lithium battery so your tank keeps getting air. Choose the 1.5W (single outlet, rated for tanks up to 33 gallons) or the 3W (dual outlets, rated for tanks up to 170 gallons). Browse our other air pumps.
Features
- Automatic battery backup. Plugged in, it runs on AC power. During a power outage it switches to DC power from the built-in lithium battery.
- Long battery run time. Hygger lists up to 20 hours (1.5W) or 23 hours (3W) in normal mode, and up to 28 hours (1.5W) or 25 hours (3W) in intermittent mode.
- Two operating modes. Press the M button to switch between continuous and intermittent mode (10 seconds on, 10 seconds off, which saves energy and stretches battery time).
- Adjustable airflow. Use the + and - buttons to turn the air output up or down.
- Quiet. A thickened ABS body and four rubber feet cut vibration. Hygger rates the working sound at 30 dB.
- Charges by USB-C. Recharge with the included Type-C cord and USB adapter, or a USB phone charging cable.
- Portable. Hygger designs it for power outages, transporting fish and outdoor fishing as well as everyday use.

Setup & Use
- Place the pump outside the tank and connect an air tube to each outlet.
- Fit a check valve in each line to stop water from siphoning back into the pump, then attach the air stones.
- Plug the pump into AC power with the included Type-C cord and USB adapter. It runs from the wall and keeps the battery ready for an outage.
- Choose continuous or intermittent mode with the M button and set the airflow with + and -.
If the pump will sit unused for a long time, Hygger's packaging asks you to plug it in and run it for 8 to 10 hours periodically to keep the battery healthy.
