Safety Instructions & Warnings

It is essential to read and understand these safety instructions and warnings before charging your batteries.
Lithium Polymer and Li-ion batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the instructions below may result in fire, personal injury, and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
Never make a wrong polarity connection when charging or discharging battery packs. Always double-check the polarity of the battery's connector to ensure that "+" is connected to "+" and "-" is connected to "-".
Do not mix and use old batteries with new batteries, or batteries with different brand names.
Lithium batteries have a limited cycle life. Please replace old batteries with new ones when they reach their service life or when they are two years old, whichever comes first.
When charging the Battery Pack, please place the battery in a fireproof container. Do not leave the UPS shield on wood material or carpet unattended.
Keep the UPS shield away from children to ensure their safety.
Ensure your fingers do not touch the solder pads when inserting the battery into the battery holder, as this could cause a short circuit. This is extremely important!!!
Make sure to insert the battery before turning on the UPS.
Make sure to insert the battery before connecting the external charger to charge it.

Overview

The X1207 is a PoE-powered UPS HAT designed for Raspberry Pi 5, delivering reliable 5.1V/5A backup power to maintain uninterrupted operation. It supports high-demand setups and complies with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, drawing up to 25W from a compatible POE switch while providing both power and network connectivity over a single cable.

With intelligent power management, it monitors Pi status, cuts power after shutdown to conserve battery, and features ultra-low standby consumption. The board ensures seamless power switching during outages and supports auto power-on and AC loss detection.
