Hi all,
We're looking for options for about 20 DC-DC ups devices to keep internet running whilst working from home.
We're not looking at any AC Inverter options, JUST INTERNET.
Most of us have fibre (+WiFi router), but we have some 'special' requirements in the field. We're already got a few in the field (Gizzu, Ratel) and they are just not up to the 4.5 hour loadshedding that we're experiencing.
So, does anyone know of a locally manufactured device that can meet the requirements below?
Requirements:
- Output voltage: 5v, 9v, 12v, 19v*, 24v*
- POE*: 15v, 24v
- Minimum peak power output: 30w (2.5A @ 12v)
- Minimum stored power: ~55 Wh [~14,400Ah @ 3.6v] (i.e. 1A @ 12v = 12w * 4.5 hours = 54w, excluding efficiency losses)
- Lithium batteries
- Made in .za*
Items marked with * are 'nice to have'
Examples:
- UltraLAN Micro UPS (DC & PoE) – 60W 17.6AH - Had good recommendations.
- Ratel 860P - Great experience, difficult to source, not local
- Ratel 8100 - God experience, no POE not local
- Power-Buddie Mini DC UPS - 48V, 12V, 9V, 75Wh PoE (Power-Buddie Mini DC UPS - 48V, 12V, 9V, 75Wh PoE), pricey
- Titan Elecstor 100w (https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?t...esale-pricing-available-for-resellers.456718/), no POE
- SolarWise 15600 - rebranded Ratel 1000?, no POE (15600mAH Solarwize Micro UPS - Internet, Smart Device and CCTV Power Backup)
Misses:
- WiBox - Local!, awful form factor, must pre-spec the Voutputs, SLA (but can be upgraded to LiFePo4)
- Ratel 430M - not enough stored power to make it through 4.5 hours.
Anyone know which of these are locally manufactured?
Are there any options that we're missing?
