Hi All.
I was playing League Of Legends and our electricity went off. I got a warning that next time i could be banned. I am playing LOL on my phone. Will a standard 1kva ups work on my rain 5g router for about 30 minutes just to finish the game before i close it so i don't get banned

Installing the Load Shedding app will probably help with planning.

This, the UPS will only keep you online for enough time to switch to a more powerful source.

Are you sure that your 5g towers are still active during large power outages? In our area the cell towers' battery backups have seemingly been stolen, so we are stuck with edge.

I remember LOL, my first day I got reported 2 times for playing bad, I got match with high level players and I never played again.


UPS batteries are bad, the inverter good but batteries only last 20mins max. If you buy your own battery(R4k), you can pull of 1 hour easy.

1kva will last

a UPS lasts about 15min under 100% load
yes, I bought RCT 2000VA, only last 40 mins max.
I ended up buying a new battery.
I pull off 3 hours each load shedding, max was 9 hours(Just had to test it).
PC + Router + Monitor + Printer + Raspberry PI.

I'm using the Ratel 860p to power my Rain 5g router during load shedding.

During the latest bout of load shedding in jhb it was at 50% after 4.5hrs.
