also powered by my deep cycle batteries?

Does the hydraulic slide out also powered by my deep cycle batteries?

My hydraulic slide out started to fail and makes this rattle sound , the same rattle or rapid click sound on a car when you ignition it on with failed batteries

I filled it already w/ ATF fluid. Sometimes the slide out starts to work but stops suddenly.

    All our slides are hydraulic only sound is the pump and the rubber rubbing on the slide going in or out.
    So it's the pump that's malfunctioning? No effect at all from the batteries?

    Can the slide out also be wired to work on shore power? I dont trust batteries well enough. It just fails w/o warning
