That's how I power my piGATE. 12v battery charged via solar with a nearly identical converter w/usb port. Good luck OP Chris KB0WLF

Ramesh,
If it were me, I would use a 7ah 12v backup battery with a "normal" 12v float charger, then use a buck converter to lower the voltage down to 5v. Something like this would do nicely: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262908222815
Using 12v storage makes things more "standard".
Just my 2c.
