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.

Specifications

Uninterruptible Power

It is able to charge the batteries and provide power output at the same time from external power supply
Automatically switch over to batteries output if external power supply is unavailable, keeps the system running without any trouble

* for reference only, please refer to the Package Content for the detailed part list

Supports 21700 large capacity Li battery,
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.

Onbaord USB interfaces

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.

pogo pins connector

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

Real time monitoring

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

Supports Battery level display and
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
