Overview
The X12-A1 V1.0 is a stackable battery rack designed to expand the backup power of UPS HAT systems. It uses a parallel configuration of four 18650 batteries, providing plug-and-play battery capacity expansion for compatible UPS HAT systems such as the X1209 (top-mounted) and X1203 (bottom-mounted). Each battery has an independent ultra-low resistance resettable fuse to effectively prevent over-discharge risks; the four parallel XH2.54 connectors support convenient connection and multi-stand stacking, allowing for flexible increases in total power capacity as needed.
Features
- Parallel Capacity Expansion: Can accommodate four 18650 batteries connected in parallel, directly increasing power supply capacity.
- Independent Protection: Each battery is equipped with an ultra-low internal resistance resettable fuse to prevent over-discharge.
- Plug and Play: Provides four XH2.54 connectors, compatible with specified UPS HATs, requiring no modifications.
- Stacking Design: Supports multiple stacks (requires the X12-A1 stacking kit), flexibly expanding total power capacity.
- Compatible Models: X1209 UPS HAT (top-mounted Raspberry Pi), X1203 UPS HAT (bottom-mounted Raspberry Pi).
- Core Application: The X12-A1 provides a backup battery expansion solution for the aforementioned UPS HATs.
