Router Battery Backup

MarshMellow said:
Thanks! Wasn't sure as the connector seemed different. But tested it and it worked 100%. Just need to find an extension now to power the ONT and Router.
Thanks for confirming @ld13

If you find out where the extension is sold, please post the link. Looking for one as well

Really sorry for the delay - the POE injector I ordered for testing just arrived. I have plugged it in and it does power the AC-Lite, however 19v is not enough and it just ends up in a reboot loop :-( sorry. wish I had better news.

What about building a boost converter? Using something like an MC34063A. You can get it in DIP and surface mount. It can output up to 40V and 1.5A. I'm pretty sure you could use it to step up from 19V to 24V and it doesn't require a lot of external components.
 
The attached is my Mother-in-Law's setup. They are using a normal PC UPS to power a multiplug which gives power to a little POE black box and to the modem/router. The UPS is only giving them backup of an hour and a half, and they need longer backup power.

A couple of posts back I saw the Communica links for the Ratels and the GZU unit and I am thinking now what I need to get is either the GZU POE-36W for R780 or the Ratel 418 for R799. Is this correct? Do I need any of the larger, more expensive units for what I want to achieve?

What are the PoE requirements for the antenna?

Sorry I am not very clued up with this, and unfortunately they are in another town. They just sent me some pictures. So this is what they are currently using. Should there be specs on this little black box that I need to ask for?

I'm not too familiar with PoE devices, but I'm pretty sure there be some specs imprinted somewhere on that black box.

The POE output is going to the radio on the roof. It should have a power input on the other side that comes from a wall plug. That is what you need. The POE does not matter for your UPS.

The reason I'm asking about the PoE is that it is very possible the Ratel PoE will be sufficient, so he can replace the UPS and PoE injector with just the Ratel

Sorry, yes that is also possible, then completely ditch the POE black box.

Yes that is exactly what I want to achieve. Ditch the PoE black box and just use the Ratel or GZU. And yes I checked the PoE gives 24V power to the radio on the roof. So, will the entry level Ratel or GZU be sufficient for what I want to achieve?

Here's the spec sheet for the ratels.

yes - either will work 100%
 
I am thinking of getting one of these Mini DC UPSes but I would appreciate the community's input.

I was originally looking at the Gizzu but I see that Geewiz also has some generic brands with bigger batteries.

Mini DC UPS (16500mAh) Backup Battery Power Bank Supply (44.4Wh) - 12V Router, CCTV, Wifi Backup (geewiz.co.za)

Mini DC UPS (13200mAh) Backup Battery Power Bank Supply (48.84Wh) - 12V: Router, CCTV, Wifi Backup (geewiz.co.za)

For reference here is the Gizzu:
Gizzu 8800mAh Mini DC|POE UPS - Black (geewiz.co.za)

I just need it to power my OpenServe ONT and my Mikrotik.

Maybe ask Geewiz to confirm the specs for the one in the first link. Under battery quantity it states "1pcs 4000mAh 11.1V 18650 lithium battery cell (16500mAh based on 3.7V)"

They (Geewiz) typically reply to every message and relatively quick, so I agree it is a good question.

Just stay away from the Vizia ones on Takealot -- waaaay overpriced. They're milking loadshedding and the panic it bestows in people.

I have the Gizzu and used it for the first time last night, powering a Huawei ONT and Mikrotik hAP ac², after 2 hours I went to go check and the first light was off.

I think for my setup it uses about 15% per hour.

Thats good. I am running teh Mikrotik Audience which has similar power consumption to that of your hAP AC2.

I like the Gizzu but if its significantly better I would even consider getting the Ratel 8100.
RATEL 8100 - Communica [Part No: RATEL 8100]

So either I order the Gizzu or I go across the road at lunch and buy the Ratel 8100

It is better as in it will keep things powered on for longer but I wouldn't pay double the price for about 4 hours of extra on time.
