Router Battery Backup

[deesef]

I'm having a small network built to power 3 airbnb apartments.
200Mbps Openserve fibre > ONT > Reyee RG-EW3000GX WIFI 6 Router > 60m cat 6 > Reyee RG-RAP62-OD WIFI 6 AP (24v passive POE input)
The Router gives wifi to the first apartment and the the outdoor AP sits elevated outside between 2x 8x8m one bedroom apartments and gives 2 SSIDs one for each apartment. The 2 best looking mini DC backup to run everything are the Gizzu 69Wh (24/48v passive POE and the Geewiz 75Wh 15/24v Passive POE)
My question is does anyone have experience with both these little backups and or can anyone think of a better arrangement?
Edit: Never mind I found out the Geewiz isn't gigabit so it would throttle the AP terribly. So then the Gizzu is the only option so far.

Do yourself a favour and get one of these. I've had mine since 2020 and it still gives about 10 hours backup. Running 1 PC 24x7, Ubiquiti gateway, 6 cameras, 3 access points, 3 network switches and all the lights in the house.

Can't remember so didn't want to claim it

mine i tested the OT box and XD6 asus lasted about 10 hours (*depends which Gizzu you got as well bat size) but yeah on its peak life was 10 hours.

now argh 3 years later i get about 4-5 hours about

atm
https://www.techguysa.co.za/product-category/power-backup/ups/dc-ups-routers/ <-- currently in stock
there is only that SURF one in stock at the time of posting



but if you take that 55wh battery at 8watts usage (max OT and Fibre box) you looking at about 5.5hours (5h30m) but if its just power a router of lets say about 4 watts nothing else 11hours approx

"Battery Information: 4350mAh x4 lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4)"

This one is the bigger battery model at 69Wh so router alone about 13.8hours (errr 13h50m approx)
https://www.techguysa.co.za/products/gizzu-60w-69wh-21600mah-mini-poe-dc-ups-black/ (No stock at the moment but expected mid nov ish.




I cant speak about other brands really sold these Gizzus and experience on mine they been going strong and had maybe 1 ever give small issue think it was just about ending on its warranty time anyway. They pretty solid systems.


So for you (below)

I'm having a small network built to power 3 airbnb apartments.
200Mbps Openserve fibre > ONT > Reyee RG-EW3000GX WIFI 6 Router > 60m cat 6 > Reyee RG-RAP62-OD WIFI 6 AP (24v passive POE input)

Edit: Never mind I found out the Geewiz isn't gigabit so it would throttle the AP terribly. So then the Gizzu is the only option so far.

the 69wh is the best one on the market if there is stock or until stock comes in mid Nov.
you should get one to power up the Reyee RG-RAP62-OD WIFI 6 AP
and one to power up the Reyee RG-EW3000GX WIFI 6 Router and then one for the ONT

By the looks of the specs your Reyee RG-RAP62-OD WIFI 6 AP is 24v via PoE which is fine with the 69Wh gizzu ( GUP60WPRO) while your Reyee RG-EW3000GX WIFI 6 Router is 12v so that would be via the DC input

not sure on your ONT but most likely 12v as well (guess)


**edit
now of course you could get a Trolley inverter but are the rooms or challeys etc close together to hook up >? also those trolleys dont power off on their own unless ones feature IS that so you risk damaging the battery especially on gel batteries.

its also not the cheapest option in comparison (depends your setup in that guys case with 24 cameras yes it was probably the best portable option). but at R16k vs R3-4k ja no.

I mean I still have battery backups on my routers, even though I've not had a power failure in years.

same also i cant find the original power adpater for my asus router so its powered via my DC UPS anyway.

have had substations blow not often but when it does its handy as hell also when you forget to buy prepaid as well you can still use it to quickly buy online ahahha

I discovered that the RAP62-OD AP likes 48V active PoE much better than passive 24V so I bought a simple 12V DC powered injector and bought the Geewiz UPS which has a slightly bigger battery and was cheaper than the Gizzu by the time I pulled the trigger. I'll just have to hack open one of the 12V DC power cable into a cat-tail to screw to the 48V active injector...the injector cost more than I wanted but it seems finding a small decent UPS with active 48v PoE wasn't as easy as I'd hoped. I could also have bought a small PoE switch which would have cost less than the injector but I didn't want any extra complexity..

I got this for my router and ONT, lasts ~7 hours.
