Router Battery Backup

About R9K....

But it would be able to power your PC or laptop as well, and a lot longer if your draw is not too high.
If it's got two 100Ah deep cycle batteries in it, 12 hours for a 50" LCD and a DSTV decoder, that's as long as I got when my batteries weren't toasted by the last bout of load shedding in March :-(
 
Here you go
Add a small gate motor sized battery and you're good to go for hours on your router. Can order the battery from Communica.

Need an account to buy
 
You do? I just registered and did not see anything like that mentioned anywhere so far...
You definitely don't. Or didn't when I last bought from them (a while ago, admittedly).
You don't get the good prices if you don't have one though, but they're still very reasonable on most things.
 
Both the router and cpe use 12v ?
Yup they do. At the moment I'm using a splitter to power both. But need to get an extension as at the moment the router is on the floor.

I've got the 3700 version of the first one, trying it out now and also paid half that on black Friday.

Nice, let me know how/if it works. Tried ordering now, but the order will only be fulfilled on the 24th.

Well running so far both the CPE and the router for 3 hours. Another hour and a half to go so will see.

Black Friday special, 370 bucks. My old batteries and never 2400va is still running as well and the batteries are pretty shot so getting 3 hours so far out of them is good.
