Hi

Loadshedding is driving me insane. I'm looking to get a UPS to power both my ONT and router.

ONT - Huawei EchoLife HG8240H5
Router - Huawei WS5200

My budget is around R1000, maybe R1500 max

I was looking at the Gizzu 8800mAh Mini Dual DC UPS but my worry is the compatibility with the ONT as according to the ONT manual, it uses AC power.

Help appreciated

Edit: Nevermind, I got my answer, it's the actual power adaptor of the ONT that takes AC input, not the device itself, that is why there's a power brick in the first place, to convert it to DC, all I needed was to do a little more research, it would've saved me the trouble of making an unnecessary post, apologies. I blame Eskom

I just realized I posted this in a wrong place, sorry about that, a mod can move this to the correct category where it belongs if possible

I would look at the GeeWiZ one comes with a 12000 mAh so a little more juice.
mine runs the router and ONT hasn't died on me yet, even on stage 6.
