Again this question - do the APs have a NON-PoE plug / input? If so, wire that directly from the Gizzu or whatever, since it'll probably want 12V or less. (You may need a buck converter to adjust the voltage if it's not an exact match to your output ports, i.e. 12V, 5V etc.)
No they dont as far as I am aware - the unifi AC-LR & NanoHD from Ubiquiti. the one AP requires 24v and the other 48v.
One of the reasons I chose the Ratel ... the fact that it uses packed 18650s. Relatively easy to replace should you need toInside the Omnipower Ratel 860P. Did not do anything just opened it to have a look inside
Battery Pack 18650 4S2P. Chinese Cells
Easily add another pack for more runtime. Mounts already there just need to wire it up to exiting pack or make a new 4S4P pack
Inside Guts
Place to add a small 30x30 Fan. Cutouts, mounting and connector already there
This is amazing.... adding another set of batteries will mean I can move it fully to solar. With the current capacity, it dies 4 hours before sunrise which meant it lasts 10 hours.Inside the Omnipower Ratel 860P. Did not do anything just opened it to have a look inside

If anyone is going to attempt this, please DM me. We can share info and work together. I plan to do this in the next month.
Just post here lets all partake.

I might consider it, if I can get the packed batteries easily.

NO that's more of a power supply.Hi when you talk about buck convertor and you speaking about these type units..will check the forum if there are any threads

thanks so based on what im reading these step down voltage and as per specs:NO that's more of a power supply.
This, but a less fancy version with no display and smaller and cheaper. Altho under 50 bucks ain't bad:
(They don't seem to have stock of the basic versions that just do voltage step-down which you adjust with a multimeter).

unlikely but depends on your devices. If you're connecting to a battery backup system it's definitely outputting 12V. It may also have other outputs, like 5V etc.

The Ratel 860p has 24VDC output.
I also use a DC-DC buck boost converter to get 48VDC and feed that into a TP-Link PoE injector for my Ubiquiti AC Pro 802.3af AP. Had no issues for the past couple of years with the setup and it's cheaper than replacing access points.
