Waveshare Uninterruptible Power Supply UPS HAT for Raspberry Pi, Stable 5V Power Output
Provides seamless power management for Raspberry Pi
Supports simultaneous charging and power output
Ensures safety with multiple battery protection circuits
Features I2C bus for real-time battery monitoring
Offers 5V USB output for additional power needs
The Waveshare Uninterruptible Power Supply UPS HAT for Raspberry Pi, Stable 5V Power Output is designed to provide seamless power management for Raspberry Pi devices. It allows for continuous power supply from either an external source or backup batteries, ensuring uninterrupted operation. The device supports simultaneous charging and power output, making it highly efficient for various applications.
This UPS HAT features a standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, facilitating compatibility with Raspberry Pi series boards. It employs I2C bus communication to monitor battery voltage, current, power, and remaining capacity in real-time. The onboard 5V regulator delivers up to 2.5A continuous output current, and a 5V USB output is available for powering additional boards.
Safety is a priority, with multiple battery protection circuits including overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short circuit, and reverse protection. An equalizing charge feature further enhances safety and stability. Battery warning indicators provide a straightforward method to verify correct battery connection.
Note: Li-ion and Li-po batteries are unstable and may cause fire or injury if improperly handled. Ensure compatibility with the expansion board and use batteries from reputable manufacturers. Replace batteries when they reach their maximum cycle life or after two years of use, whichever comes first. Store batteries away from flammable materials and children to prevent accidents.
