SAFETY CAUTIONS
- Li-ion and Li-po batteries are quite unstable. They may cause fire, personal injury, or property damage, if they're not properly recharged or used.
- Do not reversely connect the polarities when recharging or discharging the battery. Do not use inferior charger/charging panel to recharge the battery.
- Do not mix use old batteries with new ones, avoid using batteries of different brands.
- When buying Lithium battery, should always make sure the battery specification is compatible with the expansion board. Choose batteries from formal manufacturer, and ensure the batteries will work stably and safely by aging test.
- Lithium batteries have limited cycle life, they will also deteriorate as time goes by. Should be replaced with new ones when the batteries reaching their max cycle life, or working over two years, whichever comes first.
- Should be placed carefully and properly, keep it away from inflammables and explosives articles, away from children, avoid any safety accident caused by careless storage.
The UPS HAT (E) is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) expansion board specially designed for the Raspberry Pi series. Onboard battery fuel gauge IC, fast charging chip and high-power buck chip to realize higher power input and output. Supports monitoring the operating state of the HAT via the I2C interface.
- Adopts pogo pins connector design, compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 / 4B / 3B+
- Onboard Type-C port with bi-directional fast charging, supports multiple charging input / output protocols such as PD3.0, up to 40W charging power
- Onboard battery fuel gauge IC for reading battery voltage, current, power, remaining capacity and other parameters.
- Supports I2C bus communication for monitoring the operating status of Type-C port and batteries in real time
- Supports 4× 21700 Li batteries (NOT included), larger capacity and longer battery life
- Onboard high-power buck chip for stable 5V 6A power output
- Onboard MCU management, supports detecting power connection and booting the Raspberry Pi
- Supports displaying battery level on the system, easy to check the operating state of the HAT
- Comes with online development resources and manual

* for reference only, please refer to the Package Content for the detailed part list
Longer Battery Life
Onboard warning indicators, easy to check if the battery is connected correctly
* for reference only, the 21700 batteries are NOT included
Do not connect the recharger if the indicator lights up, otherwise the protection circuit will be broken down.
Adopts USB Type-C interface, supports multiple input/output protocols. Supports 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V input voltage, up to 40W charging power. Onboard USB Type-A interface for 5V power output, more convenient for powering other boards
* for reference only, the Raspberry Pi 5 Official 27W USB-C power supply is NOT included.
Powering the Raspberry Pi via pogo pins, without using any GPIO resource,
compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 / 4B / 3B+, etc.
Connecting to Raspberry Pi 5
Connecting to Raspberry Pi 4B
* for reference only, the 21700 batteries are NOT included
monitoring the Type-C port and batteries voltage, current, power, and remaining capacity via I2C
When the voltage dips too low, it is possible to save files properly and then shut down the system by software, to avoid any data loss
detecting power connection
Easy to check the battery status in real-time, and automatically shutdown when the battery level is low. Supports detecting power connection and automatically rebooting the Raspberry Pi
