Can I bypass the UPS on this Fibre LTU?

[MJGBD22]

The 4x AA cells are duff in my fibre LTU PSU. As my hub doesn’t have battery backup I’d lose service if there was a power cut. I’m wondering if I could bypass the battery pack up unit and plug the lead from the mains/12volt supply lead directly into the LTU. Would this be safe, please?

Yes, you can do that.

Many thanks. I couldn’t think why not but wanted to double check.

I have bypassed the battery back-up on my fibre LTU as per my previous post but now the power light on my LTU glows amber. We can stream TV ok. Should I be concerned? Has anyone had similar?

It will, just ignore it.

Ok. Many thanks.
