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.
  • Please watch Main Video and Tutorial Video regarding 18650 batteries at: https://www.staysafebattery.com/en/
  • Battery Recommend for Geekworm UPS board, please refer to: File:NCR18650B.pdf

Can the ups be powered by a power bank, while using the raspberry pi 5? Will it have any negative impact on performance as well?

@Harry Yes but what if someone ACCIDENTALLY uses the wrong port? What will happen?

Nothing will happen, but it won't charge

What happens if power is applied to the USB-C of the Raspi? Documentation says not to do it, but what happens if you do anyway? I'd like to use the USB-C port as a device port, but not if there's a risk I'll burn out the X1201 or the Pi if I plug the wrong thing in...

This is a UPS, so it is normal logic to supply power from the type-c of the UPS.

However I do not see #36 light up. What did I miss ?

However I do not see #36 light up. What did I miss ? -> If #36 is missed, check if all jumper pins align. -> Unscrew the screws and re-align the Pi. -> Push down on the Pi so you can feel the pogo pins bounce.

-> While holding down the Pi, tighten the screws.

Judging from the fault description, it must be that I2C is not enable.Check ing your config.txt

How do you connect the UPS HAT to the raspberry pi?

Only screws and spaces are included...

Got it. No need for spacers, or wires. Connects directly to pogo pins on the pi when screwed on.
