Reliable Power Backup: The X1206 provides a stable 5.1V 6000mA power backup, ensuring uninterrupted operation of your Raspberry Pi. Whether you are running resource-intensive applications or powering multiple peripherals, the X1206 delivers reliable and consistent power supply.

Enhanced Power Management: One of the standout features of the X1206 is its enhanced power management system. It intelligently monitors the power status of the Raspberry Pi and automatically cuts off power when the Pi is shut down. 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.

Seamless Power Switching: Equipped with AC power loss and power adapter failure detection, the X1206 seamlessly switches to backup power in the event of a power outage or power adapter failure. This feature guarantees that your Raspberry Pi remains operational and protected from unexpected power disruptions.

Convenient Features: The X1206 offers convenient features such as auto power-on and always power-on, enabling your Raspberry Pi to automatically boot up when power is restored. It also supports full power-off from software, allowing you to safely shut down your Raspberry Pi without manual intervention.

Fast Charging: With fast charging capabilities of up to 3000mA, the X1206 ensures quick recharging of the UPS, making it ready to provide backup power whenever needed.

Versatile Design: The X1206 is designed to be attached on bottom and don't use the 40-pin header, enabling easy stacking with other Raspberry Pi accessory boards. This versatility allows you to expand the functionality of your Raspberry Pi and create enhanced applications tailored to your specific needs.

Seamless Data Backup: The X1206 is compatible with our range of storage products such as X1001,X1000,X1004 top pips etc, providing seamless integration for safe and reliable data backup. Your valuable data remains protected, even in the event of a power failure.

Enhance the reliability and performance of your Raspberry Pi 5B with the X1206 UPS expansion board. Experience peace of mind with its advanced features and robust power backup capabilities. Trust the X1206 to ensure uninterrupted operation and safeguard your valuable data.

What is the difference between X1206 and X1202:

  • X1206 uses a wide voltage power input (9V-18V);
  • Solves the overheating problem of DC jack power supply
  • Uses a higher capacity 21700 lithium battery;
  • The power supply capacity through the DC jack is greatly increased from 5.5A of X1202 to 10A

Hello! I've attached my Raspberry Pi to the x1206 UPS hat and ensured proper contact for all pins. Inserted four 21700 batteries properly oriented (+to+, -to-). Connected monitor/mouse/keyboard.

Tried to power UPS via DC power jack using Geekworm recommended power supply.

Also tried to power UPS via USB-C power input (the one on UPS board, not the one on Raspberry PI board) using official Raspberry Pi 5 power supply.

In both cases - Raspberry Pi booted successfully. But it showed a notification: "This power supply is not capable of supplying 5A. Power to peripherals will be restricted."

Brief research showed that it might be due to Raspberry Pi expecting to being powered via it's Type-C port and not being able to perform handshake with power supply cable.

Keyboard I use is Keychron K6 Pro, which is capable of connecting via BlueTooth (which works fine with my Raspberry Pi), and via USB Type-A port (which resulted in red notification "USB Overcurrent. Please check your connected USB devices").

I doublechecked - bare RPi with no UPS hat powered via it's Type-C port with official RPi power supply doesn't show red notification if Keychron K6 Pro keyboard is connected to any of RPi's USB Type-A ports.

Does it create any risk for my keyboard? Does it create any risk for my USB Memory Sticks and the integrity of data transferred to external device?

Is your UPS truly provides enough power to RPi to power all of it's Type-A ports properly? If yes - how can I configure my RPi to have all USB Type-A ports fully powered? Can I disable handshake check?

Is there anything else I can do to fix underpowered USB ports?

Is it safe to power this UPS shield (with PRi mounted) if no batteries are inserted?

What will happen if I use a 21700 battery with a built-in protection circuit?

Lisa

Because most batteries with built-in protection are too large to fit, we recommend using one without built-in protection. Please refer to the battery size requirement(length max70.5mm; diameter max21.1mm),and please use flat top battery. if the size meets the requirement, you can use it.

Does it matter what amps the batteries are? The only top brand ones I see are like this. Samsung 50E 21700 5000mAh 9.8A Battery

Samsung 50S 21700 5000mAh 25A Battery
