Safety Instructions & Warnings

  • It is essential to read and understand these safety instructions and warnings before charging your batteries.
  • Lithium Polymer and Li-ion batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the instructions below may result in fire, personal injury, and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
  • Never make a wrong polarity connection when charging or discharging battery packs. Always double-check the polarity of the battery's connector to ensure that "+" is connected to "+" and "-" is connected to "-".
  • Do not mix and use old batteries with new batteries, or batteries with different brand names.
  • Lithium batteries have a limited cycle life. Please replace old batteries with new ones when they reach their service life or when they are two years old, whichever comes first.
  • When charging the Battery Pack, please place the battery in a fireproof container. Do not leave the UPS shield on wood material or carpet unattended.
  • Keep the UPS shield away from children to ensure their safety.
  • Please watch Main Video and Tutorial Video regarding 18650 batteries at: https://www.staysafebattery.com/en/
  • Battery Recommend for Geekworm UPS board, please refer to: File:NCR18650B.pdf

Overview

X1200 is an innovative uninterruptible power supply (UPS) expansion board designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5. With its advanced features and robust power backup capabilities, the X1200 is perfect for even the most demanding Raspberry Pi setups.

Features

For use with

Raspberry Pi 5 Model B

Key Features

UPS Output

  • Provides continuous operation for up to 6 hours (duration depends on battery type and applications)
  • Supports a maximum current output of 5.1V 5000mA, suitable for most Raspberry Pi applications
  • Integrated Advanced Power MOSFET with an equivalent of 7mΩ RDS(ON) to minimize power loss
  • Convenient pogo pin connection for powering the Pi, eliminating the need for cabling and soldering

Battery Charging

  • Supports fast battery charging with a capacity of 3000mA
  • Battery charging control can be managed via GPIO
  • Provides protection against battery overcurrent and overvoltage
  • Built-in protection against reverse connection of battery cells
  • Integrated Maxim's fuel-gauge systems for reading battery voltage and percentage over i2c
  • On-board LEDs indicate battery charging and discharging levels of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%
  • Features a 2-cell 18650 battery holder

Power Input

  • Powered through the USB-C socket, eliminating the need to change your power adapter
  • XH2.54 connector provided for alternative power sources

Enhanced Power Management

  • Seamless power switching between backup power and power adapter
  • On-board push button performs the same actions as the Pi's power button
  • Automatically cuts off power when the Pi is shut down
  • On-board LED indicates power status and Pi detection
  • AC power loss and power adapter failure detection via GPIO
  • Auto power-on when power is applied or restored
  • Automatic safe shutdown when battery voltage is low (programmable)
  • Ultra-low standby power consumption to maximize battery life
  • Advanced system power-path management to minimize frequent charging and discharging of batteries

Miscellaneous

  • Connects to the Pi via convenient pogo pins, eliminating the need for additional cabling
  • Designed to be attached on the bottom, allowing the use of favorite HATs alongside it
  • XH2.54 connector available for adding your own power button

It mentions above that "Battery charging control can be managed via GPIO". I cannot find any information on how to do this, does anyone have information about this? It would be nice if I could stop charging the cells at a configurable percentage.

For anyone else looking for the method to control the charging: "pinctrl set 16 op dl" will ENABLE charging the 18650 cells.

"pinctrl set 16 op dh" will DISABLE charging the 18650 cells.

Yes, that will work temporarily, but you should likely be using

'pinctrl set 16 pu' to stop charging and 'pinctrl set 16 pd' to start charging.

Simple control of charging via GPIO16:

pinctrl set 16 op dh

- stops charging

pinctrl set 16 op dl

- starts charging

default is charging mode

Hi. Can this board be used for the Raspberry pi 4? I cannot use the 40 pin header as your 4 board does.

Not support Pi4, because it power Pi5 via [pogo pin], you can use X-UPS1 or X703

Can Raspberry Pi 5 be powered thru the XH2.54 2-pin 5V Out connector only?

There is no need to do this as the Pi5 can be powered via the pogo pins.
