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
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.
