The UPS shield provides enhanced power management features that intelligently monitor the power status of the Raspberry Pi 5 and automatically cut off power when the Pi is powered off. This helps optimize battery life by entering an ultra-low standby power consumption mode. It ensures efficient operation and maximizes the lifespan of the UPS battery.
Please set as follows:


'''To get the above features, check that the following settings are complete'''
Open the Teminal window based on '''Raspberry Pi OS''' and execute the following command:
sudo rpi-eeprom-config -e
Add <code>PSU_MAX_CURRENT=5000</code> at the end of the file that reads like this:


[[File:Pi5-ups-setting.png|800px]]
[[File:X1012-setting.png|700px]]
 
Press '''Ctrl-O''', then enter, to write the change to the file.
 
Press '''Ctrl-X''' to exit nano (the editor).
 
'''Reboot''' your Raspberry Pi 5 to make the change take effect.
