Will this be able to power 9v and 12v simultaneously?

It won't, the description says:
- Output 1: selectable 9, 12, 15, 24V 1000mA
- Output 2: 5V USB 1000mA

Right - yeah sorry, using other devices to step down voltages etc is above my understanding. Should change that, but in the mean time...

This Gizzu seems to have two DC-outs and two sets of lights which seems to indicate it can do both at once, not to be confused with the other Gizzu model which only has one DC-out and a splitter cable.

Mantech sells a module, got 4 connecters, connect 12 volt dc as input and output, adjust from 3 to 12 volts.

Product not found!

I just have images of loose modules/connectors with exposed wires etc.. maybe I'm wrong. Cheapest I could see the Gizzu dual-DC outputs was R999 at Incredible Connection, but opted to go instead with the Ultralan 60W from Uniterm Direct for R1184. Thanks all for the help.

Guys, I have a 9v wifi router, a 12v Fibre ONT, a very basic understanding and a heavy dose of analysis paralysis from all the options available. I keep ending up with numerous browser tabs open to various products. And then load-shedding hits.

What's the simplest option? Does the Ultralan 60W support charging both the 9v and 12v devices at the same time? (assume no POE).

Should I just buy two devices?

This can do both simultaneously I think:

https://www.geewiz.co.za/ups/138741...ank-supply-3848wh-1x-12v-1x-9v-1x-5v-usb.html

I think they pics that are there are incorrect, because you get a version that has 2 x 12V and then this one with 1 x 12V and 1 x 9V. If you wanna be sure, you can confirm with @GeeWiz

Seems very similar to the Ratel units, and I think they even refer to it as a "Ratel" in the datasheet.

Bought mine for R1.2k from Takealot. Powers ONT + 1 Mesh node (primary). After 2 hours load shedding LEDs show either 100% or 75%. I tried the 19V for my laptop, but unfortunately wont charge when turned on. My laptop adapter is ~3.5 amps, the Solarwize (Ratel) should be able to do 5 Amps, but so far a no go. Will try a different thicker cable, but I doubt that is the issue. I get 19 volts at the cable end, but it is definitely unhappy with the current flowing. Charges when switched off tho.

Ok was hoping you bought direct and that it would be under R1k.
 
Thing is I have a house UPS inverter but sometimes power trips. Have UPS on the modem and routers.

So want small ups for the APs. To avoid rebooting of them.

I was referring to the larger 15600 unit. I also have the 8800 mAh unit, bought for R560. Powers a wifi camera 9V 1A, never went below 100% yet during load shedding. Should be good for APs.

Check if your routers have different power requirements before buying a mini ups.

Last year I bought an UltraLAN 45W 8.8ah (same unit as Geewiz.... it's just branding) but my router is 5V and CPE 12V so had to buy another one. Lucky it was cheap back then. I then bought a Ratel 860P (I think that you can only get the Ratel 8100 now) which allows me to run both the router and CPE.

It sounds like the same Ultralan that I have. You will need two as you will only be able to select 9V or 12V on the switch selector. Alternatively, get a Ratel.

I know someone using this and they are happy with it but you have to make a plan to get it to work with other voltages but other than that its a great option

I have one of these with a 12v 9ah lead acid battery but modified it to suite my needs with solar. Had mine for almost a year now and it powers my Edgerouter, ONT, Viop Phone, Unif AC AP easily for 3.5 hours with a battery voltage of 11.9v at night, in the day it stays charged with solar if power is out. Haven't let it run past the 3.5 hour mark so not sure how long it will actually last at night I also have a cut off voltage module also modded to get it to cut out at +-11.2v ish instead of 10.6 under load for when power is out at night.

The Ultralan 60w can do 9v and 12v and 15v or 24v on POE all at the same time also a very nice solution
