Thank you for the excellent review! It made absolute sense to a technically challenged old lady! Keep up the good work!
I'm glad I could help. Thank you for watching.
Bought the same one today only cause I watched this video😁🙏🏻 thank you, great review!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Basically you have 4 18650 batteries 3.7v 2200mAh each (cheap ones) if you convert it to Wh (Watt Hours) its 32.56Wh at 3.7v 8800mAh, at 5v however you get capacity only 6512
9v - 3617mAh
12v - 2713mAh.
If your router consumes 5Wh (you can find Wh it by multiplying V*A=Wh on router's label) so 32.56Wh can run a router with 5Wh for 6.5hours on a battery life. Thats best case scenario if those cheap batteries are really have 2200mAh in capacity, if its possible to replace them with 3000mAh capacity for example Samsung ones, thats going to be 44.4Wh in total and can run same router for almost 9 hours
Had this ups for a week and it ticks all the boxes...great value for money
Great stuff👍 Thank you for watching!
Thank you, this was so helpful!
My parents bought two Volkano Mini UPS's but I don't recommend them at all, I am going to find this one tomorrow - Great video! 😎
Glad I could help in anyway possible.Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. I’ll buy it. 👌
This UPS works like a charm, won't even know it's on until you see that you still have WiFi during a power outage. Thanks for watching!
Good Useable review and thank you for sharing. 😉
Thank you for watching! I'm glad I could help!
I own this unit and I just use it like a power bank when there is load shedding - I run my openserve fibre box & Asus router - after 2 hours it still has 50% battery life - side note, this is only meant to power routers & fibre boxes - there’s no USB outlets
Mine does
Great video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
great little review straight to the point and easy to follow .... my router is 9v and the fibre is 12v 'instant 'what happens now' ... no problem at all
Hi Patrick, this UPS has 3 settings for voltage - 5V, 9V and 12V. And as well this UPS has 2 power output points thus you can connect both your router that is a 9V and your fibre box (ONT) 12V. Thank you for watching! Hope the video helped you in any way.
Great review thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing and this will be useful for wi fi during loadshedding in SA
I got myself an UPS today for R600 works perfectly
Glad it was helpful!
nice it worked 😃
Thank you so much for your great review!
I just wanted to ask if I can charge my laptop as well with the ups?
I'm glad I could be of assistance. No, I would not recommend charging a Laptop with this UPS.
Noted thank you, Could please explain why ? And do you know of any alternatives that I could use to charge my laptop
What is the best voltage to use?
What voltage does it needs to set to for your router and ONT (5,9 or 12),?, Also is DC cables the type 5.5 x 2.5? And which side of the DC cables goes to the router and the ONT and the other side of the cable to the UPS?
Hi, thanks for your review. Would you perhaps know if it would work on the Rain outdoor router? I have the Rain router mounted on the roof, and connected to an indoor Wi-Fi router. Just struggling to wrap my head around how it would connect to the UPS. I’m thinking the POE cable into the UPS POE slot, and the LAN cable from the indoor router to the UPS. Would this be correct? Thanks again.
Hi Kristy, I have not as of yet tested the UPS on any Rain devices But your idea sounds correct. Just bear in mind that there is another Gizzu UPS that has the POE power input as well... as this Gizzu UPS in my video is Not the one with POE. Thanks for watching! Hope my video could help you in any way.
There are so many ports at the back. Which port do you plug the Router into and which port the ONS? The manual doesn’t tell you
Hi, thanks for the great review. I read in the comments that it doesn't work on Huawei fibre boxes. I have the Huawei EchoLife HG8240H5 fibre box and was wondering if it works on it. Have you tested it on Huawei? Any information would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for the awesome review!!!
Hi njp, Firstly thank you for watching the video. I haven't as of yet tested the device with a Huawei fibre box. But what I can say is this UPS does include 2 extra power connectors for different sizes of power input to different devices. If this is the only issue one can always buy a diffrent power supply cable.
@@hulkingmedia Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated and the advice!
Hi I want to power a 12v Tenda Ac1200 MU router and a 12v Fibre ONT will I be able to. I have the Volkano Mini UPS and although it says it can power up to 2 devices 2 x 12v) my ONT does not get enough. Thanks for any feedback
What if it stops working. The voltage led lights aren't switching on..but the battery percentage led lights r on. What could be the problem?
Do you keep it plugged in like that forever ?
Both my router and Fiber box has power however the internet light on the router is red .
Thanks, much appreciated. So, I should connect it even when the electricity is active, and just leave it on?
Yes exactly. It will charge up and automatically power your device when your main power is cut off. Thank you for watching!
@@hulkingmedia thanks, appreciate your reply.
Anytime I try help where I can. Glad I could help you in anyway possible. Once again thanks for watching.
@@hulkingmedia 💚
I received the Gizzu 60W DC 65Wh Mini UPS on Thursday. We do not get loadshedding but power outages when a they vandalized a substation. Maybe once a month, sometimes more often.
So I need to keep it plugged in all the time - will you not have to replace the ups sooner seeing that it is on charge the whole time?
Hi R. Fourie Thats great to hear, you will not be disappointed with the UPS. And to answer your question: No, this UPS has Over Charge and Discharge protection. Therefore it can be plugged in for long periods of time without the batteries getting damaged. In this way your UPS will always be ready for emergencies.
Thank you for leaving a comment.
Hi There, great review. I ordered the 60W ups, and i want to power my Frogfoot ONT fibre box, and my Vox Mikrotik router. The router can except input power of between 12 and 28 V,, and uses a 24V 0.8A ac adaptor. Would you know if it would be better to power the router on one of the 12 V dc ports, or on the 24 V POE port using a network cable on the ups?
Hi Carl de Campos, I would suggest using one of the 12 V dc ports instead. Thanks for watching!
@@hulkingmedia thanks very much, I will do that
Glad I could be of help.
I have basically the same Mikrotik router as yours and was concerned if this would work with my router. Did you eventually buy it and did it work?
@@josephomoyajowo8509 hi Joseph, yes it works perfectly on 12v on the splitter cable to router and fibre box
Hi, I’m confused. So when the power is out. I’d need to connect it to the “main” you said and then to the Router?
Hi Eunice, yes plug the UPS into the wall socket (main). Let it charge to 100%.
The UPS will always be plugged in. You will never have to unplug it as it will always recharge.
Now, Remove your Router's power cable. You will use the power cable provided in the box to plug into your router.
Thus, your router will always have power as it will be running on the UPS battery when there is a blackout.
You will have to setup the UPS before a blackout. The UPS will automatically run on battery power in a blackout no extra steps are needed.
You may leave the UPS plugged in and you won't even realize your wifi is off.
So you constantly keep it plugged into the main power so it automatically switches over during load shedding (which I think makes sense)? Does it not affect battery health of UPS?
Hi G-Man, yes you are correct. You keep it plugged in to the main power and the UPS switches over to battery power instantaneously when main power is lost. In terms of battery health, this UPS is protected against Over charge and Discharge. Thank you very much for watching! And thanks for commenting!
Battery health is inevitable, theyre not meant to last over 2yrs
If you get that much then Jesus was walking on your ups
@@penofinspiration cap it actually can go that long dont know what crap u used
I have a tp link deco system. The main deco is my router and is connected to my fibre router that mweb gave me.... I'm confused as to what needs to plug into the gizzu?
Hi stance works, so this Gizzu UPS is primarily made for routers and fiber boxes (ONT). Thus you would plug in the power cable of the router into the Gizzu. Same goes for a fiber box. The power cables are provided with the Gizzu UPS (the power cables/adapters that you plug into your devices). If your device doesn't have a power cable input and rather an Ethernet port you will have to go with the POE Gizzu UPS (This is a different Gizzu UPS model). Thanks for watching.
I had fibre installed, the voltage on the routes board is DC 10 -28V and the mini multi media connector is DC5 - 12 V which voltage level do I select
I'd set both the same. 12v 3amp should be fine, DC 10-28V is the operating range, between 10v and 28v. The multimedia connector is a range of 5v to 12v, now that I think about it, might put that one on the 9v setting
Hi Nora, I have not tested this UPS on a variable voltage device as of yet so I can not give you the accurate advice. Thank you for watching!
I have just purchased this device but have to laugh at some of the reviews on it here on UA-cam...but nobody actually shows one plugging it in to the router and device which I was hoping to see as was unsure and don't want it to blow up on me. If one plugs it into output 1 or 2 and where exactly on the router. Really don't one needs to know on the plastic packed it comes in or the air vents.
Hi. How do I determine the voltage of my router and optical network terminal, please?
Hi Fatima, usually the voltage of the router would be under the router or at the back of the device. Same goes for the fibre box. If the information is not displayed on the device itself, it would definitely be inside your device's user manual in the specifications section. If all else fails you can check the power cables/plugs the device came with, in some cases the details will be on the plug. Thank you for watching!
@@hulkingmedia So, it goes without saying that I am I not techo wise at all. I got my nephew to come sort it out and uhm, it was a 5 min job. I have the Mini Gizzu (1000W from takealot) connected to the Telkom D0Link router and Hauwei ONT (The EchoLife one, I think 🙂). It has been working well through the last week of loadshedding. From the reviews on TaL i see that this gets a higher rating than other in a similar price range.
And both the router and the ONT I have are 12V
I'm glad I could help in any way
I have a unique problem - my router is 24v and the UPS supports only 9v/12v - does it mean I have to return the UPS or is there a way to use it on my router?
Your UPS must give the same amont Volts than hr router etc..of the router is 9V the UPS must have the option for 9V if not it wont work and will destroy hr sruff..my UPS can choose between 9V and 12V and then on the other side its between 15V and 24V
Device was working perfectly for about 4 months, but suddenly the green lights showing the Voltage are dead and device doesn't work anymore. Battery is fully charged
Does the ups have to be charged for 24 hours first? Before used?
Nope it doesn't need to be charged for 24h. If you see the battery is at 100%, then you are good to go. This device is plug and play so to speak. And it will continue charging throughout the day while being operational.
How do I connect it to my fibre, i have one been using it on my other router but i got fibre and I don't know how to connect it, dies it even work with that... Please help
Hi Donna, yes the UPS works with fibre boxes/ONT boxes and fibre Routers. Simply plug the UPS into the wall socket (main). Let it charge to 100%.
The UPS will always be plugged in. You will never have to unplug it as it will always recharge.
Now, Remove your Router's power cable. You will use the power cable provided in the box to plug into your router.
Thus, your router will always have power as it will be running on the UPS battery when there is a blackout. Same process with the fibre/ONT box, this UPS can carry two devices at the same time.
You will have to setup the UPS before a blackout/loadshedding. The UPS will automatically run on battery power in a blackout no extra steps are needed.
You may leave the UPS plugged in and you won't even realize your wifi is off.
This UPS has Over Charge and Discharge protection.
Also Donna, remember to select the correct voltage on the UPS. Check your devices and see what voltage they use before plugging them in.
Will this work with a Huawei B525 router as well?
Hi Rachel, I have not tested this Huawei router as of yet. But I looked up the router and it seems it should work. The UPS does come with ×2 power connectors for different power inputs.
Thank you for watching. Hope the video helped in any way.
@@hulkingmedia I purchased one and it arrived today. It works 😊
Do you just leave it plugged in always ?
Hi chandre, Yes you will leave it plugged in. The UPS will automatically recharge when your power returns.
This particular model's power lasts up to 2 hours ?, as I write we have now reached stage 6, which means 4 continuous hours without power, a 100W version is now preferred.
I Definitely recommend people to upgrade now. So Definitely if you can, get the bigger UPS. These huge power outages are really breaking this country. Thanks for watching!
Can u run a laptop on this ?
How many hours does it last?
Hi Jordan, it can last anywhere from 2 - 4 hours depending on the devices you plug in. If you plug in only a router you can get more than 4 hours. But everything depends on what devices you plug in. Thank you for watching!
I don't use ups boxes and I will never buy one. I use my powerbank and powertool batteries for this purpose. Even my table lamps are running from my 20 000mAh powerbank. You can charge you phone from a powertool battery as well.
Anyone else have to buy a splitter cable?
Doesn't work on hauwei fiber box???
Hi Huzaifah I have not tested the device with Hauwei fiber boxes as of yet. Thank you for pointing this out. Can you maybe explain what the main problem might be? The plugs perhaps? or UPS not powering your devices?
Thank you for watching!
@@hulkingmedia i just purchased it yesterday, on the site i purchased it from someone had said that it didn't soo i posed the question. But it does work 100%
@@huzaifahdesai7976 Hi, which site did you purchase it from?
South Africans, can this last for stage 8, 4 hours loadshedding?
Yes, It will last for 4 hours. Depending on what you plug into the UPS. If you only plug in a router and fiber box it will last 4 hours. Anything more will empty the battery faster.
Can I use it for laptops?
No, I would not recommend charging a Laptop with this UPS.
Which UPS would you recommend for charging laptop HP brand specifically
In my personal opinion I would use the Gizzu 300W 296Wh Portable Power Station 1 x 3 Prong SA Plug Point. But just to clarify I am not an expert, just giving my opinion and trying to help where I can. Once again, thank you for watching. Link down below:

Thank you, much appreciated 🙏
How the fuck does one connect it to the stuff? I really need help.
Hi Pj, take the 2 point plug you received in the box and plug it into your main power. This will power and charge your UPS.
- Unplug your Router/fiber-box from the main power.
- You received in the box 2x DC power cables. These cables will be plugged into the UPS and power your devices.
- Now when the power is off your devices will run on battery power. This device is plug and play.
Hope this helps. Thank you for watching. There is a small demonstration in the video at 4:47 in the video.
Hi There.
I've tried. But it looks like my Vuma ONT has a different size male plug. The one provided does not fit. Hence I'm confused. 🤣🤣 Had to now buy different attachments for these DC cables. I hope to God these ones fit.
And now today I have to endure a 4 hour loadshedding.. die country is kak.
