Safety Instructions & Warnings

• The power adapter must with overvoltage and surge voltage protection; otherwise, it may easily damage the circuit board. Damage caused by a substandard power supply will not be covered under warranty.
• 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/

Overview

The X1207 is a PoE-powered UPS HAT designed for Raspberry Pi 5, delivering reliable 5.1V/5A backup power to maintain uninterrupted operation. It supports high-demand setups and complies with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, drawing up to 25W from a compatible POE switch while providing both power and network connectivity over a single cable.

With intelligent power management, it monitors Pi status, cuts power after shutdown to conserve battery, and features ultra-low standby consumption. The board ensures seamless power switching during outages and supports auto power-on and AC loss detection.
