Would this work?

Looking for a way to keep the adsl going during loadshedding. Can power it using my notebook.

Currently have Tenda 9V adsl2 modem. Can I maybe use battery for that?

Wouldn't you need a router to work with that?

Will work, but only your lappie will have internet. I have one of those (old telkom one)

Rather get a battery for the Tenda if you want to share internet.

What battery would work?
How would I charge it?
Will brights sell what I need?

Just get a UPS, it's easier.
