If I got something along the lines of this:  Eaton 5E Tower UPS, 850VA / 480W does anyone have any idea how long it would be able to run a ONT for?  It wont need to run anything else, just an ONT, the rest of the gear is run via the house with solar/battery.

 

I have looked at: PowerShield PSDCMIN1218 Mini UPS 12v/1.5a but its runtime is around 120-150 minutes. Powercuts at my girlfriends place are regular and for extended periods of time (hence the solar/battery backup for the house) - the last one lasted close on 3 days.  Unfortunately where the ONT is there is no existing solar/battery setup - its on the other side of the property in the garage with network cables run from there to the house.  

 

I looked at the APC website to try and work things out but didnt have an awful lot of luck.  

 

A rough estimate to times is all I am after thanks!

designed for ONT and Router. some are BYO battery some integrated.

 

i run a 28ah battery with the sentry light for my ONT and router and it should last days, and you could swap out for any 12v battery with the right connectors, the MK2 above says 6 hours.

 

The eaton you linked will be horrible on such a low load, you might get 4-6h out of it because its just so inefficient at those power levels
