| 1372713 | 2014-04-14 20:53:00 | It is very easy to knock up a simple UPS to power a modem, all you need is a crimping tool and some connectors and some wire, and a lead to connect to the router. Anyone used to working around computers could do it. Connect SLA batteries in parallel, get a proprietary smart charger. connect up...done. I also added a diode in the supply to the router to drop the voltage a tad, but not absolutely necessary. The second photo shows the charger, the grey thing with an orange light showing. |

| 1372715 | 2014-04-15 01:19:00 | So hypothetical situation here (Coz I don't understand power-math). If I had this: www.pbtech.co.nz Power dies. It's only powering this: pbtech.co.nz How long would you expect it to run for before it dies? Cheers Chill. You might run into another issue: some routers will turn themselves off on a very small load, like a router. |
