Router Battery Backup

biometrics said:
I would have preferred the 860P due to double the battery but it's out of stock until end of January. I got the 430P as I want the DC and PoE output.

Will USB to USB C port work. 9V 1.7A ?

Which model would you suggest. My knowledge when it comes to power supplies is dangerous. I’m looking at plug and play.

In the Cape I can get away with a 430P as I'll draw less than 20W and it should be enough for our 2.5 hour load sheds. For longer you need the 860P (out of stock) or two 430Ps.

Correction. Its a USB C power port

Not sure I follow, USB is 5V. Is that rating not for when you use a power supply rather than USB on the other device?

Not sure myself. That’s the rating on the device

Not always. USB spec allows for at least 18W (9V 2A), possibly more as these are just the devices I have

The Nokia draws 12W and the other thing 15.3W.

The Ratel USB port has a 10W limit. Can that device run off a power supply or only USB C from the Nokia, if I understand you correctly?

I’m totally at a loss when it comes to power outputs / supplies

All i know is , the Nokia ONT IS 12V 1 A and the Ubiquiti Router 9V 1.7A to USB C
 
Ok re-read your earlier post.

The Nokia is 12V x 1A = 12W. Perfect for a 430 on DC.

The Ubiquiti is 9V x 1.7A = 15.3W. the 430's USB port can only do 5V x 2A = 10W but the DC port can do 9V x 2A, so the question is if you can get the right DC to USB C cable. If so, a 430 would be great too.

At work right now so unfortunately I can't post up a pic.

I saw that the two 'prongs' on the UPS side are larger than the receptacles on the cable side. So it doesn't fit in all the way. So what I did was take the sharp end of a multimeter test lead and widened the copper contacts on the figure-eight cable and then jammed it in good. I hope this makes sense!

i tried to connect the router to this device this morning. the battery lights dropped to 50%. i quickly removed the router again but the lights are still at 50%. the 75% light is not 'pulsing' to show that the batteries are charging. should it not be re-charging the battery according to the indicator lights.

i haven't even done any load shedding yet.
 
Tried to install my Ratel 430P today but my IP camera doesn't work on their POE port, tried both voltages. Works fine with my Tenda POE injector.

Difference is the Ratel does 15 or 24V and the Tenda does 48V. So I guess it needs 48V.

Fekk.
 
Geoff.D said:
How long is that line to the camera? What does the spec sheet say? For the camera that is.

Not too long, 30 meters about. Works with my Tenda POE injector but not the UPS.

UPS Standard is: POE 802.3af

So I gather there is active and passive modes with different voltages. Didn't know that. Duh.
 
12/24v is usually passive "dumb" poe,52v for active "smart" poe - not cross compatible unless device can do both
You get converters for either too

Ah thanks, all is not lost then. Anyone have a link to a product to covert 24V POE to 48V?

Edit: found this at first search, pretty expensive though.

Was considering plugging out my router backup. Does being on standby degrade the battery in any way? Don’t want to encounter load shedding then the batteries is ‘pap’ from this unnecessary standby.

Only one way to find out... ;)
 
I threw out my ancient alarm power supply, then used a Sherlo 6.4A charger with an 18AH battery which fits inside:

Sherlo 6.4Amp Charger

Sherlo 6.4Amp battery charger is a robust and high-powered device designed to efficiently charge a variety of batteries up to 18ah 12v.Equipped with intelligent charging technology, the Sherlo 6.4A...
www.alarmtec.co.za www.alarmtec.co.za

It has 6x1A 12V outputs which I use for:
- CPE
- Old Alarm (battery removed)
- 5V Converter: Router + SIP Phone
- Router
- Alarm beams + 5V Converter to PI Zero

It's pretty DIY, but one could use car chargers for the 5V supplies to keep the DIY to cutting off adapters and connecting wires.

My guess is that this should run for 6h.. just a guess, but the 2h load shedding shouldn't kill the battery too quickly.
