Not battery powered but easier than lifting the jug. I bought one of these and used it on the 55 gal barrel and it worked well. I had an old fuel jug cap that I drilled out and adapted the pump to and it worked. Only problem was holding the jug while I cranked especially when it was 1/2 full or less. A simple cart might make it easier.
I am planning on buying the Harbor Freight battery powered one just for my lawn mower and tractor cans, my shoulders are hurting.

We have used the cheapo Harbor Freight ones and they work just fine. One time I was there they were on sale for 17 bucks so I threw 5-6 in my cart for myself and Dad. All are still in operation as far as I know. Methanol and gasoline.

Is this the one you used?

I was looking at adapting one of these to a fuel jug, no batteries required.

yep used it for coming up on 3 years just replaced batteries. My dad still uses his for his lawn tractor weekely also.

I adapted the Vevor pump. Problem with the Vevor pump is they don't use standard pipe thread. It's an odd fine thread on the fittings. I taped a 3/4" PVC pipe fitting with teflon tape and it threaded into the pump with no problem. Made a PVC pipe that fits through the jug cap. It works well but is top heavy and it's hard to hold the jug still while cranking.
I was at HF today and looked at the battery powered pump. The pickup tube is only 13" long so it's not going to go deep enough for a fuel jug.
