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/

FAQ

Q: How to disable auto power on?

A: When you connect an external power supply, the UPS board will automatically power on the Pi 5 motherboard while it starts charging, this feature is called auto power on, considering that some customers need to disable this feature, so we have also disclosed the following solution to disable it: please use a soldering iron to remove the resistor indicated by the arrow in the illustration.

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.
