    Router Battery Backup

    Thanks, will contact them. Saw that and thought then I should buy 2 or 4 to connect them together.

    I've gone through their website, don't see one. Urgh, anyone know what it is exactly called so that I can redefine my search maybe?

    Router Battery Backup

    Hi all. Last night I plugged in the Ratel 430S and connected my VOIP phone (5V) to it, works fine. I see that my TP-Link Switch's power plug's connection is that very thin one (unsure what it is called, I think it is this one https://www.communica.co.za/products/gzu-poe-45wp-dc-lead) so the 5V...

    Ahh, I'm with you. I went on two sites that couldn't give me an answer on if there is a built-in PWM. On Sinetech's website, I see there is a Built-in PWM Charge Controller (https://sinetechstore.co.za/shop/solar-kits/backup-power-kits/ratel-430s-micro-dc-ups/). I'll shop around for a...

    Cool thanks. Just wanted to make sure as I understand Solar Panels do have fluctuating voltages and don't want to damage the Ratel 430S. The 55W & 80W (I know they are too big) Panels Communica have on their website are both more than 18V and the Ratel is 12V, even the Cinco 10W & 30W on Geewiz...

    I ordered the Ratel 430S from Communica. Must say, I got frequent updates on the courier which is very nice and paid a flat rate of R80 shipping for it to be delivered in a rural area in the Western Cape. I got a power cable, a splitter and an extra piece of wire to connect it to a solar panel...

    I like the Ratel 430S idea. I can decide if I want to charge it via Solar or normal and as I understand you guys, it would run the 2x5v and 1x12v adapters smoothly. FYI, Sinetech only has the 50W Solar Panel in stock (that is, if I want to buy it now). Does the Ratel and the Panel come with...

    My numbers could be off, just plugged in that meter and checked the result a few hours later. Otherwise, one can probably work it out by the UPS that holds 2 hours of battery charge before it stops. Well, I don't really want to spend R5k+ now, cause then I can rather pay an electrician to set...

    Router Battery Backup

    I got one of those energy meters from a friend and this was the values for the multiplug that had those 4 devices plugged in for 6 hours. As I have it, my need is very small. Okay cool, what is a good price for the Ratel 860p and the 50W Solar Panel (is there a specific brand that I should...

    Router Battery Backup

    Honestly, I just had to get something that could get me through loadshedding (could get that UPS locally), it was a security issue for me when loadshedding started to happen in the evening and I didn't have any ways of communicating to my neighbors or farm watch. Also it was in December, most of...

    Router Battery Backup

    Hi all. I've read most of the comments from page 32 onwards regarding setups and what not. I didn't see a similar system on the comments (maybe missed it) so just gonna ask here if someone could maybe recommend a system for me. I purchased a KSTAR 1000VA UPS in December 2019 when the...
