==Updated==
X306 is <span class="tb_red">updated to V1.3 on May 28th, 2024.</span>

Please check the information on the page on the sales platform to confirm the version you will get.
* '''Only compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero 2W''' now
* Removed 3 standard USB-A 2.0 ports (Users have less need for this. Can directly use OTG port on the Raspberry Pi motherboard)
* Removed 4-pin header for external power swtich and always-on power option(Users have less need for this. Can can solder it yourself if needed)
* Smaller size, simplified use

:PS:

:1. Shorting '''AL''' and '''ON''' will automatically power on

:2. '''GND''' and '''PSW''' are pins for external reset/momentary switch

==Overview==
X306 is an ultra-thin one cell 18650 UPS shield designed for Raspberry Pi Zero 2W.

! Key Features
|
* Ideal Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) solution for Raspberry Pi Zero 2W '''(X306 V1.1 support Pi Zero W also, but X306 V1.3 only support Pi Zero 2W)'''
* Max 5.1V 4000mA Power Backup for even the most demanding Raspberry Pi set ups
* 18650 single cell battery holder (Use 3.7V 18650 battery)
* Upto 1000mA charging current
* Integrated battery reverse polarity protection circuit
* Integrated over current protection and over voltage protection
* Intelligent automatic charging and discharging
* 4 blue LEDs indicate battery charging and discharging levels of 25%, 50% , 75% and 100%
* Red & green LEDs show the status of power on/off and charging status
* On-board push button to control power on /off (Press-ON, Hold the button pressed at least 3s -OFF)
* Ultra-low standby power consumption of μA to maximize battery life
* Advanced system power path management avoids frequent charging and extend battery life
* Connects to the Raspberry Pi via Pogo Pins - no wirindg & soldering required
* 4-pin header for external power swtich and always-on power option '''(Removed from X306 V1.3)'''
* Equipped with three USB2.0 ports and one USB2.0 4-through-holes for more USB expansion '''(Removed from X306 V1.3)'''
