Update History

NOTE: The X708, X703 UPS does not support Raspberry Pi 5.

In July 8th 2022, the X703 V1.2 UPS has done a small update,the "AON" Pin has been updated to "PON" Pin, also the pcb components position will be a little difference. Please refer to the below photo:

X703

Note

  • NOT supports software safe shutdown.
  • Do not apply power to your Raspberry Pi 4 via the Type-C socket.
  • Please use high quality power supply, the low quality power supply will generate surge Voltage, which will damage the board chip. we recommend Panasonic brand NCR18650BD 18650 lithium battery.
  • If 【CHG】 pin is OPEN, battery charging will be started after powering on and stopped after powering off. If 【CHG】 pin is SHORT, the battery will be automatically charged once your power adapter connected.
  • Do not short the"AON" pin.
  • Be sure to power off & remove the 18650 battery then wait for 2 seconds when toggle charging mode

Overview

The X703 is a new design UPS board which is specially designed for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B only. It provides an advanced uninterruptible power supply and power. The X703 adds 4 test pins to achieve powered between X703 and Raspberry Pi 4 without additional cable.

FAQ

Q1: Will X703 UPS work with the rpi poe hat?

A:No, the X703 UPS does not support rpi poe hat.


Q2: Why CHG light is not light up when external power supply is connected?

  1. The X703 UPS does not discharge when charging. Therefore, when external power adapter is used, raspberry pi is powered by the power adapter instead of UPS.
  2. When remove the external power adapter, raspberry pi will be powered by the battery, which can avoid frequent battery charging and discharging.
  3. Please make sure that the power adapter used is ≥3A, and always short the CHG , so that it can be automatically charged when an external power supply is connected.

What does "NOT supports software safe shutdown" exactly mean? How do I shut down the raspberry then?

Is it only possible with the blue button? Oder can I use "sudo shutdown now" command via shell?

NOT supports software safe shutdown means that the function of safe shutdown cannot be realized by inputting commands or other operations.

At present, the shutdown function can be realized through the blue button on the X703

Definitely heed the warnings about using the USB-C input on the PI or changing headers while plugged in or having batteries in it.

One of mine started smoking immediately. Pull the batteries and everything seems ok now. Just set it up and don't touch it after. Get your pi setup first and add this last.

The X703 requires add. space for the Raspi 4.

Is there any recommendation from your side regarding a good fitting case?

Hi,

Please use high quality 18650 battery such as Panasonic. And note the battery size(Please choose a flat-top battery, and the battery with a raised positive electrode is larger in size.)

If mains power from charging adapter disappears, for example because of a power outage, will X703 take over powering the Raspberry PI without shutdown/reboot?

That's what the UPS expansion board does, but only if the 18650 battery is available.
