Router Battery Backup

[wingnut771]

Hmm also not so easy to find stock on Takealot. Also not a very good UPS to be honest.
I won't buy that.

I have one for 12V ONT and router (I don't have to worry about other voltages). Powered those 2 devices for 12 hours until the battery died, there was an extended fault in the area where the power was off for 2 days. It took 4 hours to recharge using the inverter.

Not in a million years will you power two devices on a single mini UPS for 12 hours. Are you sure you didn't fall asleep and the power came back on during that time ?

Are you saying that I'm lying? The power went out at 10pm. They next morning around 11am, I needed to charge my phone so tried using the 5V USB port on the front. About 5 minutes after that the UPS turned off. Use it don't use it, I don't care.

This is with a MFN Nokia ONT, and AX3 router from Afrihost.

Not saying you are lying. The routers probably went into 'sleep' mode, i.e. no WIFI activity. I get around 6 hours tops on mine when using WIFI , ONT & Router.

Sjoe, luckily no curtains in sight. Maybe just move your books in case of a fire.

I have one of these. It does ONT and two routers way over 4 hours.

No cooking clue. I don't know much about electronics. BTW I was just pulling @wingnut771 leg.

So the switch runs off a normal PC power plug, will this work or am I going to blow things up?

Where did you plug the white cable in before?

Probably AC into the wall, so no it won't work.

White cable is a spare but yes the network switch plugs straight into the wall with normal PC power cable.

Yeah, then it's converting from AC to DC inside the switch. You need an inverter or another switch.

Thanks, Wifi will have to do for time being then.
