==Overview==
The X-FAN40 is a PWM fan HAT designed for active cooling of M.2 devices or dual cooling on the Raspberry Pi 5. It integrates seamlessly with the X1001-Max, X1004, and similar NVMe expansion boards while remaining compatible with standard Pi cooling solutions.

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.
  
Its 40mm PWM fan delivers up to 6.01 CFM - over five times the airflow of the official Pi active cooler - providing reliable thermal management for sustained high-load operations. It is the ideal cooling solution for power-intensive devices like AI accelerator cards and high-performance SSDs.

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
