FAQ
Q1: What types of batteries are compatible with the X1209 UPS board?
A: The X1209 is compatible with 3.7V-rated batteries, such as 18650, 21700, 4680, and similar types, as long as they have a full charge voltage of 4.2V.
The default charging current is set to 2.1A and the charge cut-off voltage is 4.23V. Before connecting your battery to the UPS board, please carefully confirm the maximum charging current and voltage; exceeding the upper limit of the charging specification that the battery can withstand will not only cause adverse reactions, but may also cause irreversible damage.
Q2: Is the X1209 compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero 2W?
A: Yes. The X1209 UPS board can work with Raspberry Pi Zero 2W according to the customer feedback.
However, the X1209 was originally designed for the standard Raspberry Pi 40-pin layout. When using it with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, you may need to connect it via jumper wires or use a suitable adapter/pin header to match the GPIO power pins.
