==Overview==
'''[NOTE]''': X728 supports also Raspberry Pi 5 hardware, the installation script is updated. Refer to [[X728-script]]
The X728 is an advanced uninterruptible power supply expansion board for all current models of the Raspberry Pi using a 40 pin header.
It provides 5.1V 6000mA Power Backup for even the most demanding Raspberry Pi set ups, intelligent and safe power management, safe shutdown，AC power loss/ power adapter failure detection , auto power-on, full poweroff from software, battery capacity reading, and a real- time clock(RTC), buzzer alarm.
The X728 reserves the 40-pin header that can be stacked with other Raspberry Pi accessory boards for enhanced applications. The X728 can also be used with the [[X825]]/[[X828]]/[[X829]] (2.5" HDD/SSD Shield) and [[X857]]/[[X862]]/[[X872]] (MSATA/M.2 SSD shield) for safe data backup.

===X728 V2.3===
Released on 20th Aug. 2022;
No any functional changes; just change the SMD 18650 battery holder to a pin battery holder to improve the reliability of battery holer soldering.
<span style="color:red;">'''WARNING!!!'''
* <span style="color:red;">'''Please be sure to install the X728 and Raspberry Pi in the correct order. The copper pillars must be fixed before installing the x728. Avoid short circuit caused by the X728 board touching the USB connector of the motherboard, which may cause the chip to be burned.
* <span style="color:red;">'''Never make wrong polarity connection when charging and discharging battery packs. Always double check polarity of battery's connector to make sure "+" to "+" and "-" to "-". '''

==FAQ==
Q:Why Raspberry Pi is randomly rebooting all the time?
A:You can follow the steps to test if the X728 issue:
a:Take the X728 off from the Raspberry Pi, remove all the batteries, power supply, and all jumper caps. Then connect the battery or power supply, press the blue power button on X728, the blue LED should be on, and then press and hold the power button for more than 8 seconds, the blue LED should be off.(These steps indicate that the X728 has no issue.)
b:Please check and confirm if other device occupy the GPIO with X728.
c:Still not find out the issue, please attach a video to contact us show more details.
Q: Why the X728 V1.3 remove the ASD function?
A: Because the ASD jumper will generate some issues, so we remove the ASD jumper, but now you can achieve ASD function by software. Read the voltage through I2C, and then decide whether to shut down.
Q1: Why X728 V1.2 automatically shuts down?
A:
1. X728 V1.2 will automatic safe shutdown when battery voltage is low than 3.0V, please charge in time;
2. Please try the following operation by step:
# Remove all jumper cap,
# Remove all 18650 battery
# Place 18650 battery again and wait a few seconds before testing
3. What battery is recommended for X728?
A:Because there are so many kind of batteries, and the quality is also various. So we suggest to use the NCR18650B from Panasonic. Also '''do not use''' 18650 battery with built-in protection circuit for X728.
</pre>
Q3: How to restart the pi board when AC Power supply is connected?
A: Please enable 'AUTO POWER ON' or 'AUTO ON' function if you want restart when the AC Power supply is reapplied.
Q4: About auto shutdown, found your board auto shutdown.
A: Please check if enable the ASD function (shorted the ASD header), if you enable the ASD function, please make sure your operation is right: first, place the battery into the battery holder, insert the jumper to ASD header <span style="color:red;">after 3 seconds</span>,this is very important!!
Q5:Is the recharge threshold and terminal battery voltage adjustable? I want to keep the batteries between 80% and 20%
A: Sorry, this is not support.
Q6: Which GPIO is used to power the X728-A1 cooling fan?
A: The X728-A1 does not occupy the GPIO, it use the PIN 2,4 to provide the power.
Q7: How can I remove all software created by the setup and start over?
A:
1) sudo /etc/rc.local , delete x728pwr.sh
2) sudo rm /etc/x728pwr.sh
3) sudo rm /usr/local/bin/x728softsd.sh
Q8: What are GPIO5 and GPIO12 used for X728 V1.3/V2.0?
A: GPIO5 control shutdown, GPIO12 BOOK OK.
Q9: Are the batteries on X728 hot-swappable? In other words, can I connect an external power supply and swap the batteries out while that is on?
A:Sorry, the batteries on X728 is not support hot-swappable. Please cut off the power to swap the batteries.
Q10: Does the rtc have a separate battery? or does it run on the 18650 batteries? what happens if you remove them? will it "lose" time?
A:No, the RTC function runs on the 18650 batteries. It will "lose" time if you remove the batteries.
<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">Q11: What will lead to the X728 board be burnt out?</span>
A: Please make sure the polarity of battery is "+" to "+" and "-" to "-" and match with the "+" "-" mark on battery holder. The battery protection chip IC will be over-current, heat and then burnt if one or two of the batteries are connected reversely. PS: the X728 board will not be burnt immediately if one or two of the batteries are connected reversely.
Q11: What frequency does X728 use in the I2C communication bus used to communicate with RPI?
A: It depends on the motherboard and OS, please refer to this topic as reference: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=312582
Q12: What the maximum current rating of X728-A1 is?
A: The maximum current rating of X728-A1 is 90MA.
