I got my batteries.... so i commented this to the youtube video

Yeah now do this with batteries fully charged and the jumper placed on "auto shutdown on less then 3v option"... if you pull the cable it will REBOOT... removing the jumper fixes it... It has probably to do with the inaccurate battery meter (all above 99% capacity will cause reboot with jumper... and what's up with 107% full battery status??? Also when it reaches 0% it still works for more then an hour.... better is to read the voltage and add software where you auto shutdown when <3.3volt and >4.3volt is full battery... and make your own percentage meter.... percentages used by the maxim chip is useless... also power management does not work without batteries so pushing the button on the top does nothing... no reboot or save shutdown.... It emits a high pitch (like dog whistle) when no batteries. second network card will disappear sometimes even after rebooting... until you remove all power.... and there are no big holes on the bottom to mount it on a wall... only tiny ones... the little cable to connect the second network card are really flimsy... and sometimes do not work... and the software is bad.... still happy with my 2 devices, they kept running for more then 8 hours...

Update: The reboot/shutdown comes from the x720pwr.sh script which controls the buttons... so guessing.... there is probably power leaking to the gpio pins when unplugging resulting in toggling the script if the button on the top where pushed... and as a result.. either shutting the pi down or rebooting... (depending on the batteries...) so if you want to use this as an ups, you have disable the button script... (or figure out a work around)

So it has nothing to do with the jumpers...
