Router Battery Backup

Ok need some help/advice pls. Woman that works with my wife asked advice to power their fiber. Now I use a cheap inverter and 7ah gate motor battery. It last very long but you need a very good(and expensive charger) to keep those batteries happy. I already had that charger but its not worth buying all those from scratch.
So I don't have much knowledge on these mini ups thingies.
First thing that puzzled me, it seems they have a router and ONT all in one. Vuma Reach?
Thats the only photo they send, so do you get a router and ONT all in one? And that should make it easy as then it just have one 12V thing to supply.
Then what will be a good and reliable one to buy that will last 4hour shifts also, as we are like to get them soon again.
Now I don't know the people personally, but I dont think they will go buy the most expensive overkill mini ups. But also don't want to suggest so no name brand from Takealot with bad quality batteries.
I see at Geewiz they range from R700-R1500
 
Yea The bigger the step up and down the more the losses same goes for convesion



ie 12v-220v -12v

if you only want to power 12v devices you get more bang for buck from battery on a low voltage ups

Don:t use one of these devices, those that do can chime in which are awesome

You do get 2 in 1 with some FNO's.
 
The reason why I went for the bigger Gizzu is all the 12v/5a outputs. Very easy to wire in a 5v/4a buck regulator and run low power computers like a Pi 4 or similar on it.
 
hello all

so finally had to buy a UPS so bought me the gizzu 100W 46WH one

now how do i connect this thing

i only have my fibre ONT and router

dont want to blow up the router or this thing

my routers are 12v so assuming the switch should be on 12v

it has 2 cables, do I just connect each one of them to the blue 12v 5a ports
or do i connect 1 splitter cable that goes into one of the blue ports and the other ends to the router and ONT

Just plug them into the blue ports. or use the splitter if you think you might want the 2nd cable for something else

Bear in mind that the switch is just for that one (yellow) output which is selectable between 9v and 12v. I have two 12v devices and just connect them to the blue 12v outputs, each with their own cable. If I had two 9v devices then I would have had to use the splitter cable on that one port set to 9v. In your case you shouldn't need the splitter cable.

I just got myself one of these

https://www.takealot.com/gizzu-100w-dc-46wh-mini-ups-black/PLID73887358
it was on special this morning for R999 and I ordered and paid for it I see now its back to R1402.00


My TP Link AX72 has been killing my Gizzu 8800mah in 3 hours with just it and the ONT connected.

Will connect the AX72 to this 14400mah unit hoping I can get 4 hours out of this, and the ONT I will leave that on the 8800Mah

The splitter on my Gizzu is different to the one on my older mini-UPS in that the GIzzu one is male-female, so with two devices one generally has to use it with the male-male cables provided or just use the male-male cables on their own. So to me it looks like it's included for people with two 9v devices to use the single 9v output.

I have always been impressed with their delivery , I see I get the same driver bring my stuff always. She is at my gate around 08:00 and 08:30 which makes it so much easily as I dont have to wait all day and can go to clients without worrying about delivery.
