Heck you can even get 3000AH 12V Disposable Cells these days. And no I did not make a mistake. That is 3KAH. When you work that into what a router draws (1.2AH) or there about that's a heck of a long time. Even the new generation deep cycles these days have a cyclic life of some 3 to 10 years.
"Routers" require 1.2A at 12VDC? My little Soekris boxes draw that, roughly, or at least that's what they say they need from a PSU. Anyway, same ballpark. They are not big routers, infact, they are very very small routers. They do no have fans. A Cisco 2600 has a 600W PSU. That's roughly 2.5A at 240V. At 12V that's 50A. A Cisco 2600 is a very very small router, one step above a home office router, I suppose. ps. yes I know they don't always eat 600W. A 2600 is also a very small router, I doubt Vector have any in the path of customer frames. I can't be bothered going and getting power requirements for bigger boxes. -- Nathan Ward
