Router Battery Backup

Yes. I have a 9V switch and a 12V ONT and 12V router. So the switch went directly into yellow one with switch on 9V and the ONT and router went into a blue port with the supplied splitter cable.

How long does the unit last you? I mean in terms of hours

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

Can use 2 blue


I have Wifi (12V), ONT(12V) + Network switch(9V) on my 60W

Used 2 blue, and switched the yellow to 9V for the Network.

Hey guys, just grabbed an Astrum PB070 mini UPS. However I then noticed it only fits my fibre router and not my Dlink-820... so..... guessing it needs a POE (power over ethernet) splitters? Never used those before. Anyone have any experience what to do? The Dlink DIR-820 doesn't mention it can support POE so I'm guessing thats why a POE splitter would be required? Thanks ahead. edit: The wifi is a dlink DL-820 and the fibre is a Nokia G240G. Okay looks like the Nokia ONT can't do POE? SO.... how on earth can I connect this min UPS up? Any ideas guys? Thanks.

You probably need a adapter if it does not fit the d-link power jack > https://www.mantech.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?Item=15M1723

hahaha I was just digging around as well and see that might be a solution. As it came with a splitter inside, that can go from the 12v output to two input dc plugs but the one is too large to squeeze into my wifi..... arrr.... ok, so needing an adapter... at least that sounds a little easier. Thanks!

Ah ok rather don't blow up your devices :). I don't know why they just include a adapter kit with these stuff would be much easier for everyone.

ok just checked the Amp draw, combined they need 2.5A and this only puts out 1amp. Returning... it can't power them both even though it has a splitter.

We had a 5.5 hours outage and it (mine is the Netogy version that is very similar spec wise) still had the 25% icon lit, so I estimate it can do between 7 to 8 hours. It recharged fully within 4 hours.

Thats quite impressive
 
I compared the Gizzu 100w, Netogy and Solarwize mini ups With ONT and Router attached, the Netogy and Solarwize lasted 4+ hours, the Gizzu 100w less than 4 hours

I see the Solarwize and Netogy is the same product just with a different name, also available in Solarix name. So I guess one just takes the one with the best price.
 
Why is it so hard to find a mini-UPS that has it all?

I currently have the UltraLAN Micro UPS (DC & PoE) - 60W 17.6AH. Working great since May 2021, so it is almost two years old. It powers three devices:
  • Nokia Router with integrated ONT @12V;
  • Ubiquiti UISP airMAX NanoStation Loco (passive POE @24v);
  • Raspberry Pi (using a UBEC Step-Down Converter connected to the power pins)
The combined load of the three devices is 19% of the UPS's 60W, which equates to 11.4W.

Early this morning, my mini UPS died a couple of minutes short of the 4 hour mark. First time it happened to the best of my knowledge. I guess this means my batteries are at 70% of their original capacity (11.4Wx4h)/65.12Wh = 70% after about 23 months.

I'm considering buying a second mini UPS, not to replace the current one but to supplement it.

I want it to have
  • many outputs, like the Ultralan UPS I currently have;
  • a screen, so I know what is going on;
  • 65Wh or higher (which is 17.6AH or higher @3.7V 18650's);
  • UCB-C port for charging a phone;
  • Gigabit passive POE (24V);
Each of the following products include some of the above features, but none have all.
From the above options, I guess the Gizzu is the best option.

Are there any other mini UPS's I should be looking at?

Just thought I'd mention that there's a newer Gizzu 60W model which is 69Wh and unlike the older 65Wh one has moved to LFP cells. Problem is it's hard to find stock as it seems to sell out from Takealot very quickly, mine was R1700 in Feb but for some reason on Takealot they list it at R1100 when it's out of stock. I think there are some at Incredible Connection but they are R1900 there.

i have the same set up but dont really need the switch to work

@Rouxenator and all others

do you have to do any maintenance on these devices or just plug it in and leave it

I leave mine plugged in all the time.

It went down to 25% yesterday in the last bit of our 2nd 4hr stint. Considering it is running an ONT, router, switch and a small PC that is pretty impressive, I think.
