Frequently Asked Questions

What devices are compatible with Konnected's backup battery?

Konnected's Backup Battery is compatible with many consumer 12V or USB-powered consumer gadgets. This includes all of Konnected's Alarm Panels (of course!), many (but not all) home routers and modems, Raspberry Pi and other mini-computers, smart home hubs such as the Aeotec SmartThings hub or Hubitat Elevation hub, USB-powered cameras such as Wyze cameras or Ring cameras, LED lights, portable fans, and many more!

How can I check if my router or modem is compatible?

First, check the power adapter that came with your device. Compatible devices will either have a "wall-wart" or "plug pack" style power adapter or a USB adapter. Check the specs on the back of the power adapter and make sure the OUTPUT voltage is 12V or 5V, and the OUTPUT amperage is 2.5A or less (for 12V devices) or 3A or less (for 5V devices).

If your router or modem accepts household power directly (no DC power adapter), or anything other than 12V or 5V DC, then it's unfortunately not compatible.

Can Konnected's Backup Battery also be used as portable phone charger or power bank?

Yes! This Backup Battery also doubles as a standalone power bank. Use it when on the go as a backup charger for your smartphone or other USB gadgets.

How does the auto-switching feature work?

Konnected's Backup Battery has no buttons or switches! It automatically detects when your gadget is plugged into the 12V OUT or 5V USB OUT socket and starts delivering power. It will remain on while your gadget keeps using power (or until the battery is exhausted) as long as your device draws at least 30mA of current (1% of the maximum current). The Backup Battery will switch off automatically when your gadget is unplugged, or if your device turns off or drops below 30mA of current draw.

For this reason, this product is suitable for devices that are always-on and require continuous power. It will not work well with gadgets that periodically switch on and off, or that go into a very low-power standby mode.

How do I connect a Aeotec SmartThings hub or other 5V device that's NOT a USB connector?

The Aeotec hub and some other devices use a DC barrel jack connector but require 5V power. In this case, you need a USB to Barrel Jack cable, and plug the USB end into the 5V USB OUT on the Backup Battery.

DO NOT connect the 12V OUT to a device that requires 5V! It will damage your device!

Is there a status charge indicator on the device?

No, there is no indicator showing the remaining charge on the device.

Can you double the batteries to extend the cutover duration?

Doubling the batteries by daisy-chaining them is not very effective. To extend runtime, it's best to use separate batteries for different devices rather than daisy-chaining them. For example, use one battery for the router and another for the modem.

What's the diameter of the 12V input?

5.5mm (outer) x 2.1mm (inner).

Very impressed

Configuration of the Pro was simple. Worked as described in the videos. Linked to Smarthings with no issues. I may have to switch to a plastic enclosure. Wifi drops if I install the metal enclosure cover. I may just add a wifi. extender in the cabinet. Happy with my choice.

Amazing product and I’m hard to please

I cannot say enough about this product. I managed to wire a 52 zone house in 2 hours. Very easy. Now have my neighbors trying it out.

I’ve now got a UPS for my alarm system

I updated an old wired installation to the new Konnected system. It was easier than I thought. 100% would recommend!

Doesn't work with PoE.

This seems good, but I am powering the Konnected Pro from PoE... and the product page doesn't say this battery requires you to plug from the wall -> to battery -> to barrel connector on the Konnected Pro. So now I have to cut the Konnected Power supply and splice to the old Alarm.com system's power cable (routed behind wall) and then splice to the barrel connector into the battery, and patch from battery to the board. So the Battery is fine, but wasn't what the website explained.

Working Great

This item provides power as it is charging unlike most other power banks. Great replacement for a worn out APC unit.

Good but not powerful enough

Battery indicates that it would support four boards but mine does not. I have to disconnect by motion sensor to get it to work.

Requires minimum load

Nice battery pack but ut requires a minimum load on the output for it to power on. If you only have a Konnected alarm panel without any powered sensors connected to it, it will not stay powered on. At least 1 powered sensor (motion or glass break sensor) is necessary for the battery pack to work

Konnected is great!

I got the panel pro from Amazon and battery with magnetic legs from connected website. Great device! Very happy with it. The only issue is ordering to Canada, with UPS delivery $50 order was extra $60 for delivery.

Konnected Battery Backup Perfect for Routers

Easily installed this inline battery backup for our Frontier's fiber router. Plug-n-play. Just unplug the router's power supply, plug it into the Konnected, and plug the Konnected back into the router. Both the voltage and amperage matched the router's specs perfectly.
