The PowerLink BT+ combines selectable 24V/48V passive PoE output up to 60W with Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi, and USB-C power capabilities.

• Published battery capacity: 296Wh
• Published runtime: 6.6 hours at 35W or 5.3 hours at 45W
• USB-C input/output: up to 100W
• Published full recharge time: approximately six hours
• Weight: approximately 1.9kg

This model is worth evaluating for longer alignment and testing sessions where battery capacity matters more than minimum kit weight. The published runtime figures apply to their stated loads; they should not be treated as a six-hour runtime guarantee at 60W.

The PowerLink BT 60W provides 48V output up to 60W, Gigabit Ethernet, and dual-band Wi-Fi in a more compact unit.

• Published battery capacity: 77.7Wh
• Published runtime: up to two hours at a 30W load
• Charging input/output: up to 18W
• Weight: approximately 510g
• OpenWrt-based functionality with scripting and diagnostic tools

This model offers a different balance of output capability, battery capacity, and portability from the BT+. A 60W output rating describes available power, not the duration for which the battery can sustain that load.

The PowerLink AT2 provides selectable 24V/48V PoE output up to 30W, an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot, and a diagnostic display.

• Display information includes battery level, PoE voltage, Ethernet status, and delivered power
• Published runtime: up to two hours at 15W and 45°C
• OpenWrt/LEDE platform with VLAN support and an iPerf3 server
• Weight: approximately 280g

Selectable voltage can be useful for teams working with a mix of compatible devices. Confirm the correct output mode, wiring, and any adapter requirements before moving between equipment types.

The PowerLink 15W combines 24V passive PoE output up to 15W with a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi hotspot and battery-powered field functions.

• Published runtime: up to seven hours at a 4W load
• USB-C charging: 5V at 2A
• Four-LED charge indicator
• OpenWrt interface with VLAN and installer-tool support

This model is a candidate for compatible lower-power radios and CPE. Its 24V passive output should not be assumed suitable for an access point that requires negotiated IEEE PoE.

Matching voltage is only one part of compatibility. Passive PoE and negotiated IEEE PoE are different power-delivery methods, and equipment from the same vendor may have different requirements.

Check the complete power specification:

• Accepted input voltage range
• Passive or negotiated PoE requirements
• Pin assignments, polarity, and powered pairs
• Maximum operating demand and startup requirements
• Required adapter or reversed-polarity cable
• Ethernet speed and cable requirements

Battery runtime depends on connected-device demand, conversion losses, enabled functions, temperature, and battery condition. Powering additional equipment from USB or operating Wi-Fi can also affect available runtime.

Battery energy in watt-hours is more useful for comparing capacities than amp-hours alone. Amp-hour ratings require the associated battery voltage before they can be compared meaningfully.

Use published runtime figures as planning references, then test with your actual equipment. Include startup, alignment, configuration, and sustained traffic testing rather than measuring idle operation alone.

Follow model-specific charging, storage, and temperature guidance. Plan reserve capacity for extended work and confirm that your charging equipment supports the required input.

Portable PoE can help technicians validate equipment before permanent power is connected and isolate power-related issues during troubleshooting.

• Radio alignment: Confirm compatibility and reserve enough runtime for positioning and link validation.
• Subscriber installation: Power compatible CPE and verify configuration before final commissioning.
• Equipment diagnostics: Compare behavior with a known-compatible power source to help isolate faults.
• Mixed-device work: Carry documented output settings and adapters for each approved device type.

Integrated Wi-Fi and diagnostic software can support field access, but test results must reflect the path being measured. A Wi-Fi client test may be limited by the local wireless connection rather than the radio or Ethernet service under evaluation.

Record the connected device, output mode, cable, test method, and observed results. Consistent records improve handoffs and help your team identify recurring installation issues.

Compare output options, battery capacity, indicators, protection features, data interfaces, software tools, charging requirements, and kit weight. Features differ between models and should not be assumed across the entire product family.

Confirm environmental ratings before exposing equipment to rain, dust, or other site conditions. A product intended for field work should not automatically be treated as weatherproof.

Portable power can reduce delays associated with unavailable site power, but it does not eliminate every return visit or installation dependency. Evaluate its value using your team’s actual testing time, charging logistics, completed visits, and repeat-work records.

Which specifications matter most?

Start with the connected device’s voltage, PoE method, polarity, powered pairs, and maximum demand. Then choose battery capacity and diagnostic features that fit the expected work duration.

Does portable PoE require network configuration?

Power delivery itself may not require changes to the connected device’s network configuration. However, the tool’s Wi-Fi, addressing, VLANs, routing, or provisioning functions may need setup for your workflow.

Will a higher wattage rating provide longer runtime?

Not necessarily. Maximum output power and stored battery energy are separate specifications. Compare published runtime at a relevant load and validate it with your equipment.
