Best iSUP Electric Pump: Bravo 20 Review

Bravo 20 Review
The Bravo 20 electric inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard pump is the best electric pump we have tested so far. We have sold and tested the Italian made pump for over a year now with no issues other than the internal batteries going flat if the pump is not charged for long periods of time. See below for a video on how to replace the internal battery. The Bravo 20 iSUP pump has an overheat shutoff which effectively prevents damage to the pump. The quiet operation, reliable pump operation, and internal, rechargeable battery make this pump a great choice.
Pros:
overheat protection keeps pump from burning up, an issue we had with other iSUP pumps.
Pressure can be set to desired level, up to 20 psi
Relatively quick inflation
Internal battery, portable and does not need to be hooked up to car battery.
Cons:
Internal battery can go flat if not used for long periods, needs to be re-charged every few months even if not used
Limited inflation volume due to battery capacity and overheat protection may not be suitable for very large iSUPs or SUPsquatch boards

Hi Becca, sorry, I don't know if that will work.
You seem to be familiar with the older BP12 SUP (22 psi model/red cable) pump. When I bought mine I had to jury-rig a fitting onto the high pressure hose for the Leafield valves on my NRS paddleboards. Now I'm looking at a new board with a different valve. I was wondering if the hose for the Bravo 20 inflator would work/fit on the BP12 SUP pump. I can buy a replacement here: https://pksdistribution.com/proddetail.asp?prod=pks-bravo-20-replacement-hose.
please read the comments on the YouTube video. You will need to cut the wires and buy some connectors
I bought a new battery and tried to replace the old one but the old battery will not come undone it looks like it is one piece you cannot disconnect to reconnect to a new battery if that makes sense.
A lithium battery would be nice but make sure to use it with a suitable lithium charging system, the included charger is for SLA batteries only. You may need to install a new charging port if you want to switch to a lithium battery.
If you are going to change the battery why not put a Lithium battery in? They are much lighter and stronger
