And your experience with it so far? Does it include the necessary cabling - my router and fiber box are 12v. How long are the cables?
Sorry for asking all the questions. I've read reviews on some of these units (not this particular unit, just a general view on some of the other brands) where the cabling provided is either incompatible or far too short.
I'm not sure what the difference is between the Gizzu Mini Portable UPS as posted above and this Gizzu unit :

Both are the same price.

Yep, looks like same one.
Can't actually remember how long the DC cable is but no problems reaching my router which is about a 80cm away from the Gizzu.
Yep,my ont is 9v but the router is 12v - the Gizzu caters for 5, 9 and 12v on the DC port and 15, 19 and 24v on the PoE port.

I bought one of these and have been quite impressed! Only problem is once you hit stage 4 load shedding, there is not enough time between outages for it to charge sufficiently!Check this out on takealot: WiBox Wifi UPS - 84 000mWH 5V/9V/12V DC Mini Battery Power Back-Up

Try disabling 5ghz and dropping Wi-Fi power level.

I've dropped WiFi power levels but won't disable 5ghz. I have gigabit fibre so 2.4ghz isn't going to cut it.

Then disable 2.4ghz.

Honorary Master
Oh so it’s either or? Don’t know why but I always assumed it was 5ghz that was the power hungry frequency.
Why not get a second and halve the load and presumably the charging time?
sand_man
Honorary Master
Yeah. Have considered that. If the 4 hour LS slots persist Ill probably do that. The 2 hour slots aren't the issue.

Not sure on the power levels but it can only help by turning off one of them is my logic.

I actually paid way to much for mine, R1299... see them on takealot now for R899, bought it....

So I’m running 2 of these batteries now. 1 for ont, 1 for router. Router lasts 3 hours. Router is a menace to power up.
I have Synology DS920+ NAS, power needed is 100W. Does anyone have any suggestions for a UPS to run my NAS?
The spec sheet says power consumption is:
33W (Access)
10W (HDD Hibernation)
My router is an Asus RT-AX88U with 19V needed. I need to upgrade my UPS for the router, currently my Gizzu 8800mah only lasts around 3 hours. Any suggestions for a more high powered UPS?
