The X12-A1 is a 4-cell parallel 18650 battery holder designed to accommodate four 18650 batteries. Each battery is protected by a resettable ultra-low resistance fuse to prevent over-discharge. It features four XH2.54 connectors for easy integration with UPS HAT models such as the X1209 and X1203, and supports a stackable design, allowing for capacity expansion through multiple bases.

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.

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.
  • Ensure your fingers do not touch the solder pads when inserting the battery into the battery holder, as this could cause a short circuit. This is extremely important!!!
  • Make sure to insert the battery before turning on the UPS.
  • Make sure to insert the battery before connecting the external charger to charge it.
  • 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
