Indoor training - UPS (thanks Eskom)

[Mrs Balls]

Has anyone found a simple (plug and play) cheap UPS solution for a Wahoo setup @ 12v 5A (60w) to keep thing going with Eskom doing the rounds?

For 12V you just need a Charged Battery.

To protect your equipment it would be best to use the full plug, so it requires AC.

A SOHO setup that can power small appliances for 2-3 hours will work well. Page 4 from the post by @shaper has a solution.

someone should reverse engineer one into a SA version black out edition and turn the flywheel into a KERS unit so the thing can power itself...you are already putting in the watts lol...might as well use them for something.

Kstar Model UA60 - I think I paid 800 ronds at a pc shop - have run my Kickr Core on it for 1hr 30 min works perfect.

Run ZWIFT or TR off tablet or Iphone via BT

That is the beauty of the Tacx Neo, you dont need eskom but at a premium.
