π Why This Bundle Keeps You Online Safely
- Uninterrupted Internet: The Micro DC UPS remains constantly in-line between your device and the wall. Switchover is completely instantaneous when load shedding hits, preventing your router from rebooting.

- Broad Device Compatibility: Features an intelligent output array including 5V USB, 5V DC, 9V, 12V, alongside a switchable POE (15/24V) and LAN port to power various small electronics, IP cameras, or cordless phones.
- Dual-Layer Equipment Protection: The UPS features a built-in BMS Battery Balancer guarding against over-charge and short circuits. Meanwhile, the included Ellies Adaptor provides medium surge protection against destructive voltage peaks when the grid power returns.
- Space-Saving Plug Design: The Ellies power extension instantly converts a single 3-pin socket into one 16A 3-pin and two 5A Euro 2-pin sockets, allowing you to neatly plug in your UPS and other devices.

β Load-Shedding Setup FAQ
Do I need to turn the UPS on when the power goes out?
No, the UPS is designed to stay plugged in permanently. It regulates the incoming power to protect your devices and instantly switches to battery power automatically the second load shedding begins.
Will the Ellies adapter protect my UPS from power surges?
Yes, plugging your UPS directly into the Ellies Surge Protection adapter provides a critical layer of defense against voltage spikes that often occur when Eskom restores power to the grid.
