The other day I had a blackout, every time it happens, my router settings reset.
I was first planning on buying an APC UPS power strip but was surprised that they use lead-acid batteries in them, are inefficient, and fail often.
So instead I want to try and build my own Lithium-Ion Router UPS.
I was inspired by this youtube video
My router specs are
19 volts
3.16 amps
While I have watched almost every video by Will Prowse, I haven't built my future solar system yet.
So my actual hands-on experience with electronics is limited to simple Arduino projects.
My plan is the build a 24v battery bank.
Use a 24v power supply and use a 24v charging board.
I will then use a buck converter to step-down the volts and amps to my router settings.
I'm looking for feedback on if the schematic looks correct.
Also, please correct any misconceptions I might have based on this schematic.
Do you need to regulate amps out on the charging board and buck converter or does the system only draw what it needs?
Do u need a step down charging board?
Did I place the Schottky diodes in the right location? Are they the right amps?
Is the fuse needed? Is it the right size?
Thank you for the feedback and corrections.
If there's any quality hardware you recommend, feel free to leave me a link
Here's my schematic
