Today we use a Mimotik battery/Mikrotik combo. Before that, we had a Ryobi 18V lantern that had been gutted and a Mirotik hAP placed inside with the RJ45 PoE out port wired to a jack on the outside of the lantern. In either case, the power source powered up the Mikrotik (which created the WiFi and powered the radio). We do PPPoE so the Mikrotik would also test that the bridges were configured right by establishing a PPPoE session.

My Installer won't use the powerlink anymore, it took way to long to boot, and the battery was always dead when we needed it.  We just use https://www.balticnetworks.com/tycon-power-usb-powered-24v-passive-poe-inserter-24vdc-12w-poe-two-usb-power-inputs with a USB power pack now.  Just have to be careful on the older radios as to the pinouts for POE.  The newer EPMP/450 radios can accept either polarity.

Tried the rest.  Made a bunch of homemade ones.  It's just not worth the effort and they've all got their problems.
