Battery powered water pumps?

Im looking for a battery powered water pump, or, solo powered water pump that will pump water up about 30 feet up and 30 feet out.I would like to bring water from a pond up to an out house, which s 30 feet away and 30 feet up from the pond.I know water is heavy, but if this thing only moved 50 gallons (a day for solar, at once for battery) that would be enough.Any links to products you have experience with would be appreciated.

Answer:

First, okorder has battery powered sump pumps but those only pump water to about 17 ft. You can search their web site to see if they have pumps for higher heads.
Battery Powered Water Pump
There are many 12 volt water pumps at Northern Tool, which is an excellent company that my family has done business with for 30 years. Hook your solar charger up to a car battery. We have done well with a 15 volt solar charger on a single car battery for lighting at our deer shack. I dunno how many watts a pump would draw, and I am too lazy to calculate it for you. Eyeballing one pump at Northern, it looks like a 15 watt charger will be MORE than enough to keep that marine battery topped off.
