Load shedding router power solutions?


I bought this one. Ended up being R575 delivered and it came in 2 days. Also, runs my router and ONT device (Both 12v) for 4 hours with no issues. Never used the usb port to charge my phone but found this to be the cheapest deal at the time compared to Gizzu which is now R1k+ (Was R799-R899).
Yeah paid 650 for gizzu in feb lol Got mine from onedayonly.

Dam good price. Gizzu seems to give you around 4-6 hours instead of the 4 hours from the link I sent. On the flip size, this is still R575 and Gizzu on Takealot is now R1200 or so. Demand seems to be pushing the pricing up or pushing the seller's greed.
 

This is cheap as well. Seen this device. Good specs for the price.
 
Anyone with a spare Gizzu they're not using or an alterative solution to power ONT+Router? Trying to help a friend, and nothing seems in stock or double the price o_O
 
I've had the Wibox Lifepo4 for about a month now, it comes with a 104wh Bluenova lifepo4 cell and you can ask the makers of the Wibox to customize the leads how you want.

My model has 4 x 12v leads with 1x19v and 1x 5v DC converter. Tested on a RT-68u mesh node + Yealink sip got 6hours, sold the RT68U got a baby AX55u , now runs 15hrs+ on a test called it good. Being Lifepo4 it will last quite a few years and it's only R1999.

The 68U IDLES at 10W and draws a peak of 30w+ whereas the AX55 idles at 1-2w and max draw could never exceed 10w.
 
hello

the best option to run both fibre router 9v and ont 12v . I only have a Ratel mini ups that either let you select 9v or 12vols not both.power usage about 4 hours ....options welcome maybe just needs another device or one that can power both at the same time

Hey man. I use this. Mini DC UPS (10400mAh) Backup Battery Power Bank Supply (38.48Wh) - 1x 12V + 1x 9V + 1x 5V USB it has both 9v and 12v on it. Just need to get a PSU aswell here: 12V 2A 2 Amp 2 Pin DC CCTV Power Supply
 

Anyone with one of these that can perhaps tell me me how long they keep the ONT and the router powered ?
Both use 12V 1A

Also, does this mini ups keep the router on after the power cuts (pass-through), or is there a drop in the connection with the switch over (ONT / Router rebooting)

Keeps me going for the 2 hour load shedding session with plenty of battery life to spare, 3 out 4 bars left. Cant tell you what total power on time for 2 devices would be since I've never fully drained mine.
Theres no drop in connection, keep the ups connected all the time with the ont and router powered through the passthrough
