17600mAh vs 8800mAh. The bigger one has more ports and even solar input.

Have this one as well. Doesn't break a sweat for 2 hours load shedding.
Same here.
2 hour loadshedding hardly makes an impact and easily gets through 4 hour sessions too.
Best value for money option I could find

Hi Jolab, a friend of mine has this as well and I'm interested in getting it but I read some reviews that it doesn't work on Huawei fibre boxes. I have the Huawei EchoLife HG8240H5 fibre box. Any idea if it works on that? Cheers!

The Wh are all that matters, those figures are meaningless without the pack voltage.

These are rock solid. It is a rebranded Ratel 860P ... I have multiple units, and helped numerous friends with the same for their setups

Mine are about 2.5 years old now ... still charges to full, still has 75% battery left at the end of 2.5 hours loadshedding (powering ONT, router, DECO and camera)

Are you talking about the ONT? If so, mine works fine on it

Will probably last longer than what time the Country has left.
In all seriousness, it all depends on the quality of the cells inside. Name brand should last 10 years easy. No name is a lucky packet.

The same device plugged into each of these would last twice as long. The plugged in device will not use more volts or amps.
The bigger device goes up to 48V and 5A, while the small one is 12V and 3A.

He's referring to the internal battery voltage.

Yes the ONT. Thanks so much. I'm assuming you also have a Huawei???

Just check your ONT and / or router power adapters (the ridiculously small print on the back of the adapter)
If the power outputs there match what the unit can do there is no reason why it shouldn't.
Voltage is very NB - must match. The device will draw whatever amps it needs as long as it does not exceed what the unit can push but should not be a problem for either the ONT or router amp requirements. 60w total should also be more than enough for both of those items.

The left means centre pos and the right means centre neg.
Most plugs are centre pos, just double-check.

You are just repeating what I posted. You don't have to explain it to me, I was just emphasising this important point.
It wasn't for you, there are plenty other people in this thread who may not get it. I didn't the first time I saw those symbols.

Of course - I assumed this was a given when working with DC...
Would have been safer to state this fact as well.

Bought the Gizzu 8800mah on Takealot for R750. I see its shot up to R933 the very next day. Was keen on the notogy but I didnt feel like having to set up a debit order just to pay for the damn thing. Also 1 year warranty on takealot which gives a bit of peace of mind. Any users of the 8800 happy with theirs? Mine will power my router and ONT.
