|'''Power input'''||   
|'''Power input'''||   
* '''12Vdc ± 5%'''<font color=red>(Warning: Over-voltage will damage your HDDs!)</font>
*DC 9-24V wide voltage input, DC 5.5-2.1 interface;
*Intput Ripple & Noise: 200mVp-p Max 
*USB-C PD interface, PD negotiated voltage 12V, please be sure to use PD or QC power supply; input power recommended ≥30W;
<font color=red>(Choose one of the two interfaces)</font>
 
'''Power input is split into two paths:'''
* One path steps down to 5.2V to directly power the target board;
* The other path charges the supercapacitor. For safety, charging stops after reaching 5.2V.
These two paths are isolated by a circuit, therefore they will not output simultaneously.
 
|-
|'''Output'''||
* 5V5A output, using high-efficiency boost and buck DC-DC power chips;
*Dual interfaces:''' USB-C '''and''' USB-A''', both sharing 5V5A; Specifically designed for powering Raspberry Pi 5;
* USB-C features PD handshake negotiation, enabling the 5V5APD handshake protocol for Raspberry Pi 5;
* USB-A;
* Both interfaces can also be used to connect to other development boards such as Raspberry Pi 4B/3B/Orange Pi;
 
|-
|'''Energy storage unit'''|| 
* 100F supercapacitor (series structure, maximum fully charged voltage 5.4V, safe charging cut-off voltage 5.2V)
|-
|-
|'''Recommended power supply via DC jack'''||  
| '''Charging time''' || Approximately 15 minutes to fully charge (under 30W PD power supply conditions)
* 8 x SATA 2.5" HDD/SSD : '''12V 10A adapter x1'''
* 4 x SATA 3.5" HDD : '''12V 10A adapter x1'''
* 8 x SATA 3.5" HDD : '''12V 10A adapter x2'''
(Note: 3.5" HDDs draw high inrush current on startup. 8×3.5" HDD setups require two identical-spec 12V DC adapters connected in parallel via the dual DC jacks.)
|-
|-
|'''Recommended power supply via 4-pin ATX connector'''||
| ''Current and Voltage Detection''' ||  
* '''12V 20A'''
Identifies charging and discharging status;
<font color=red>⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: Never connect a DC power adapter AND an ATX power supply to the board simultaneously.</font>
 
voltage and current of the supercapacitor can be read via I2C interface, and the direction of the current indicates whether it is charging or discharging;
 
I2C interface allows reading capacitor voltage and charging/discharging current.


| '''Power-down detection'''||
One power-down detection pin;
a logic level of 3.3V indicates the presence of external power input, and a logic level of 0V indicates that the external power is off. For Raspberry Pi, external power loss can be detected via GPIO26 (40-pin);
for other development boards, it can be connected to a GPIO pin.
|-
| '''Wake-up function''' || Power-off self-start circuit (Raspberry Pi 5 exclusive).
|-
|-
| '''Raspberry Pi Power Supply''' || 5.1V ±5%
|'''Physical Switches'''||
Main power switch + quick discharge button;


|-
1. One power switch to shut off output for safe module installation and removal;
| '''Ports & Connectors''' ||
*  '''2 × DC 5.5×2.1mm power input jacks''' (parallel design)
*  '''1 × ATX 4-pin power in/out connector '''
(Input: powers the whole system when connected to an ATX power supply


Output: provides 12V for extra drives when powered via DC jacks)
2. One discharge button for quick discharge and safe storage; for example, after use, it is recommended to press this button to discharge the supercapacitor for safety.
*  1 × 16-pin 0.5mm pitch PCIe FFC connector
*  8 × 7-pin SATA 3.0 data connectors
*  1 × 4-pin function header
|-
|-
| '''4-pin Function Header Pinout'''||  
| '''Status Indicators''' || 1 power indicator + 5 battery indicator lights + 1 discharge indicator light
* Pin1 = external momentary power switch
* Pin2 = fan PWM (Connecting to Raspberry Pi 5 Fan)
* Pin3 = ground
* '''Pin4 = 12V power output
|-
|-
| '''PCB Size''' || 100mm × 86mm
 
| '''Product dimensions''' || 85×56mm; Operating

|-
|'''PCIe cable length'''|| 37mm
