UPS for BT Hub

[Labarum]

A 240v UPS just to run a router in case of a power cut is a bit over the top. Can anyone recommend a reliable 12v DC UPS to keep my BT Hub going for a few hours? BT's own offerings seem rather expensive.

I have a BT digital voice line which I get free (or at no extra charge) with my FTTC contract, but I don't use the number. For years I have used Seimens Gigasnet with Sipgate accounts. It would be useful to run the Gigasnet DECT base unit from the same UPS.

I have seen the

ZOUD For Camera Router Mini Uninterruptible Backup Battery 12V 2A​

at that big river place.
Is that the sort of bix I should be looking for? Any suggestions.

That's the sort of box I had in mind. Thanks.

I emailed CPC Farnell about a 5.5 x 3mm barrel connector.

They suggested their part number CN05727 but this is 6.3 x 3mm.

Perhaps someone would check my reading of the stock - search on CPC Farnell, then on CN05727

As far as I can see the only 5.5mm barrel they have has a 2.5mm internal dimension.

I guess this is about BT making it as difficult as possible to use other hardware!

Thanks. That does indeed include the 5.5 x 3 mm option. Worth a punt for £3.50!
