For routers like this, get PowerWalker 12V DC UPS (SecureAdapter). It also has a 0.5w consumption in standby. On my 12V 2.0A gigabit router, it lasted about 1:30~h on a new battery.
Yes, of course. My gut feeling is that they use the cheapest and most basic possible hardware and try to compensate trough software. But the second you are out of range of the use cases programmed in the software, it all falls appart.
I have the same UPS and i notice a very great difference between the real power that the UPS is consuming from the grid (measured with a smart plug) and the power that the UPS companion software say that it consume. I saw that there is a 3,5-4 factor between the two values. But i’m not worrying too much.. it’s just a basic item and it’s just the software that is poorly designed
i had the 5e 2000iusb, thier monitoring chip or design is garbage, it show on thier companion software total load is 32% ( 469 watt) , but the power usage both ups and load from a killawatt meter or from a TP-link smart plug with power monitoring it show 369 watt, im not sure where there are pull those value 😂
I have had the 2000vA for quite some time. (Yes I do test it once a month, the computer runs as normal when I remove the AC from the UPS. I leave it like for about ten minutes then I restore the ac.)
Besides the fact that it lies about the watts of the load, there is another problem: it turns off after exactly one hour, even if the battery is charged.
22:40 i killed my meter with a 5E UPS, those things can't handle non-sinusoidal output the false output load reading is a factory defect, they will replace it if you ask (also the accuracy is limited to percentage points so 480/100=4.8W increments for your model)
I would have liked to see your video before doing the stupidity of buying the eaton 5E, I just had the same misadventure as you, I bought the E5 650i last weekend to protect my NAS, Switch and internet router against voltage fluctuations, Eaton companion shows me that the UPS consumes 60W without plugging anything in. It's normal for an Inline inverter to consume a few watts because it embeds an AVR... But 60Watts it's too much... I had another problem also with this UPS. I use a UPS, at home the voltage reach 254 watts sometimes and the 650i did not do the job to lower the voltage! I bought the E5 1500i one month ago for my gaming PC it consumes 20Watts without anything plugged in and is more powerful than the 650i, the AVR is triggered at 253Volt to lower the voltage to 210V as expected... The software is poorly designed for this model and I thing that the 5E is the Eaton low range brands, the manual is really poor too... Like you, I do not recommend this product, it's very frustrating and it's a big waste of time and money, you are lucky to have an Eaton support in your country, in my country there is not! I contacted several Eaton supports in several countries to get help and understand what's happening with the UPS's, some answered me and when I explained them my problems they ignored until this date! Result, I returned the Eaton 650i and I kept the 1500i to run my gaming pc and my NAS, I have no choice because there is no better choice in my country in terms of price and he does the job for the moment, I hope it will last longer. In the future I will invest more for a better brand with "LCD" but no the 5E. In my country they sell the Njoy brand, can you suggest it to me? Thank you!
Hi. Sorry to hear about your problems. A really similar situation to mine :( I bought an nJoy Cadu 850 and it's working really good, so up until now I recomend it. A video should be posted on the channel the following days if I have time to edit it.
The UPS output shows 48-54W because it's charging the batteries. Once the batteries charge to complete, that will be very low and draw some power, plus the router will keep the batteries trickle charged.
7:00 AYE WTF!?!?! Do they not send you the cable in the box to actually charge up the PSU!?!? What sort of cable does it need to charge the UPS? That's crazy!
@@UltimateDIY But APC UPS rated as the best and most of our company here use APC and it's quite limited for normal users to buy only one or two store here sell it and limited quantity.
is there any guide how to callibrate if you change the battery? i had put the ups usb on a raspberry pi that run Nut ups app that show the battery percent and battery run time, which is way way off, i had the 5e2000iusb and the load was 300 watt and it say it had battery run time arround 7 to 8 min but it exceed and can run up to 15 to 20 mim + when i tested it.
@@UltimateDIY yap, base on the unit i had the usb port is after tough. im only using mine to power few network switch and one poe switch, it had around 60 watt to 80 it can last around 45 min'ish

Thanks for the review, I was just about to buy one and search on you tube for a review. Glad I did 👍🏾🇿🇦 43:27

Wow, what's wrong with this thing?! Thanks for the review! If you learn more about what's going on with it, could you please tell us?

Bu how can it be this badly designed? It's basically it's purpose 🤷🏻♂️

They work in standard scenarious like yours, but as soon as there is something unplanned, like I tried, they fall appart.
Besides the fact that it lies about the watts of the load, there is another problem: it turns off after exactly one hour, even if the battery is charged.
Extremely stupid design to have a timer 😖
@@UltimateDIY Apparently this was done intentionally to avoid using it with low power loads.
Yes, most likely.

Hi I bought this same UPS, do you have any idea how to switch off that beeping when it switches to battery power??
Hi. It can be done from the software. I show that in the video.
In the companion software
Try pressing the power button quickly twice. It'll turn it off, but it'll start beeping again when it reaches 10% charge.

@@UltimateDIY Good! this model is available in my country! I look forward to your review, thank you!
Welcome 👍🏼
@@UltimateDIY What is self-consumption of nJoy UPS without external load? Has it software for monitoring?
It has software. It basically shows self consumption to be almost nothing.
The UPS output shows 48-54W because it's charging the batteries. Once the batteries charge to complete, that will be very low and draw some power, plus the router will keep the batteries trickle charged.
That load on OUTPUT was always there, battery charging or not.
How would a router keep batteries trickle charges?
This is a manufacturer's error, and not the only one in this device!
7:00 AYE WTF!?!?! Do they not send you the cable in the box to actually charge up the PSU!?!?
What sort of cable does it need to charge the UPS? That's crazy!
Cost reduction my friend. They don't give s#it about customers anymore and treat us all like sheep.
It uses a standard pc (not laptop) power cable.
7:02 which power cable can i buy ? Can i use my power supplys cable?
You can use standard PC power cable.
Is it normal that the fan of the Eaton 5E1100IUSB inverter runs constantly even in the presence of the electrical network?

I don't know as I did not have that model.
How loud does your fan go? Does it stay on continuously?
This does not have a fan.
i think im going to buy a one
how it takes to change the battery?
and how u know u need to replace them?
Thank you
I have no idea because I did not like the unit at all and returned it. You can see what I bought in the description.
@@UltimateDIY i don't trust chinese product
and i think I'll go for APC UPS it's like more 30$ but better
If you find good reviews and they fit your need 👍🏼
Just keep in mind, APC is also not 100% what it used to be.
@@UltimateDIY But APC UPS rated as the best and most of our company here use APC
