Power down

MECER OKT 2000VA

The Covid pandemic has changed our lives: Homes have become full-time living, working and playing spaces. Access to the Internet has become a necessity, especially if your work depends on it. An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) device provides more than just peace of mind - you won’t lose unsaved data when the power is suddenly switched off, and you can keep your router running, too.

There are plenty of UPS devices on the market. Local-is-lekker computer company Mecer produces a range for every budget. This one provides enough Internet juice to outlast on Netflix. Keep in mind that the staying power of a UPS diminishes over time, like any battery that has to charge and discharge. The battery in ours lasted about 18 months; it’s a standard cell, so you can replace it when it goes pap.
