The Waveshare Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Module, 3S & 5V 5A Output (UK) is a sophisticated power management solution designed to provide continuous power to devices such as Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano. This module is powered by three 18650 Li-ion batteries connected in series, delivering an output voltage range between 9V and 12.6V, with a regulated 5V output capable of supplying up to 5A of continuous current.
The module is equipped with advanced safety features, including overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short circuit, and reverse protection, ensuring the safe operation of the connected batteries. It also includes an equalizing charge function to maintain battery stability and longevity. The UPS module supports I2C bus communication, allowing real-time monitoring of battery voltage, current, and power, which is crucial for applications requiring precise power management.
Designed for easy integration, the module can be seamlessly incorporated into mobile robots or industrial control systems through various interfaces. It automatically switches to battery power in the event of external power loss, ensuring uninterrupted operation. Battery warning indicators are included to assist in proper battery connection and maintenance.
Note: Exercise caution when handling Li-ion and Li-po batteries, as improper use may lead to fire, personal injury, or property damage.
