Q: Why does the UPS shield continue to output power when PI 5 is turned off via press the on-board button?

A: The UPS shield provides enhanced power management features that intelligently monitor the power status of the Raspberry Pi 5 and automatically cut off power when the Pi is powered off. 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.

To get the above features, check that the following settings are complete

Pi5-ups-setting.png

Q: What battery is recommended for this ups shield

A: Please use high quality batteries from Samsung 35E 18650 lithium battery, Panasonic NCR18650B, Toshiba, etc. Do not use the battery with built-in protection circuit because it will limit the discharge current.

For the X1203 shield:

If using a lithium battery, the required voltage is 3.7V;

if using a battery pack, please make sure it is a parallel battery pack.

There are 2 XH2.54-2P battery connectors on board, it is recommended to use the same type of battery.

18650 battery size-2.jpg

Q: Run sudo i2cdetect -y 1, can't find I2C address 0x36?

A:

1. Make sure you enable i2c interface, refer to How to enable I2C

2. The UPS connects to the Pi GPIO via pogo pins, If the I2C address (0x36) is not detected, Please clear the leads of pin 3 and pin 5 on the GPIO header from the bottom of the Raspberry Pi PCB and install again, and also check if the pogo pin of ups shield is in close contact with the pad position of PI 5(you can adjust the [pogo pin] position).

Pi5-gpio-pin.jpg

There won't be any other problems, it's this poor contact that's causing it.

Q. How do you disable the X1202 auto-shutdown when you use it standalone (not installed on a RPi5)?

A: X1202-faq-disable-power-off.png

Q. X1203 UPS voltage drops / low voltage warning appears?

A:

1.Powering the X1203 via Type C connector with / without the batteries，Pls check if you still have the issue.

2.Please clear the test pad on the Pi's PCB bottom which is used for connecting the X1203 for 5V power delivery.

I would like to use this with RPi4. I understand one of the pogo pins (near the RPi pins) needs to be connected to 3.3v to not shut down, to detect the RPi4.

But can you share which are the power pogo pins to connect to the RPi4 power pins?

Hello, I would like something that has 4 cells. Neither X728 nor 729 have 4 cells. And I don't want to buy the 8 cell extension, that's too much. So any information on how to make this compatible with RPi4 would be much appreciated.

By the way, does X1202 balance the cells when charging?

Well, I simply do use it in combination with an RPI4. SURE, BE WARNED that you can place only an RPI5 _ON_ the X1202; the pogo pins (except the ones of the GPIO header) are ONLY aligned for test pads of the RPI5! As far as I know, the X1202 is the only one where you have access (through I2C) to the battery voltage level; the mentioned X-UPS1 doesn't. AND even with an RPI 5, you MUST use an external device (in my case the RPI4) to monitor the battery level, as the X1202 itself doesn't (auto) shut off when the battery voltage goes below 3.4 volts. AND be aware that when the X1202 is shut off and a power adapter is plugged in, there still remains a 1.1V on the 5V power pogo pins!

If you want to use a UPS baord with RPi4, we recommend X728. If you want to use 4cell batteries or more, you can use X728 UPS+X708-A1 battery holder (supports 8cell 18650 batteries, you can also install only 1cell or 2 batteries). X1200/X1201/X1202 only support RPi5.

Hello, I have 4 batteries, each with a capacity of 2980mAh. The total capacity is therefore 4x2980mAh=11920mAh. With the Raspberry running my application I measured it draws 700mA. So 11920mAh / 700mA = approx 17 hours of running time. Can someone confirm this? Thanks in advance.

Hi!

Could I use the USB output to power up a USB hub? In the interface picture it says: 5V, current unlimited, but down in the user manual it says: USB2.0 type-A power output socket, which implies 5V 500mA, which would be not enough I guess.

The use case is that the RPI cuts the power on its usb 3.0 ports at shutdown too soon, causing an increase of the Unexpected Power Loss SMART counter. Using an active USB hub between the RPI and the USB SSD enclosure solves the problem, but at power loss the hub will be cut down as well, so it would be useless unless the UPS HAT powers it via USB power output. There is also a question whether the power of the USB hub has enough time after the RPI powered down. Somewhere I read that the HAT cuts power 3 seconds after the RPI shuts down, is it correct?

Thank you for the answers in advance!

Actually I see it in the interface picture, point 6: 5VO power output LED: if the Pi 5 is not detected, will turn on for 3 second then off. Does it mean then that the output USB gives continuous power for 3 seconds after the RPI shuts down? Is the powering of the USB output seamless till switch off?

Hello, I am using the x1202 model of UPS, and I have encountered a phenomenon. When the battery is low, I charge the UPS and shut down the Raspberry Pi. After the charging current drops to 0, I turn on the Raspberry Pi to check the battery level, but it shows only 1%. However, the battery voltage has already reached 4.2V. It seems that there is an error in the battery gauge.

After that, I turned off the power input of the charger and continued to read the feedback value of the battery gauge. It is slowly increasing, even though I have disconnected the charger. It will reach around 80% battery level in about 30 minutes.

Can the full charge voltage be adjusted via script or configuration code? It isn't good for LiIon batteries to sit fully charged for extended periods. Ideally they would charge to ~3.9-4V while retaining the option of charging to 4.2V

Can you set PSU_MAX_CURRENT=3000 instead of 5000 to draw less Amps from power supply while charging? Could you set it to 2000?

Yes, we know that it can be turned off with the external switch but since the Raspberry Pi is installed in an inconvenient position and is used as a dash in the car that connects to the ECU to display its data, we would like it to turn off on its own after a certain time that the power was turned off. Since X1202 communicates when there is no more power, on this event you could start a countdown, close open applications and turn off the system, without using a keyboard, mouse and external switch.

Hello,X1202 does not support X1009. X1009 requires DC12V power in, X1202 UPS only provides 5V output,

You can consider the X-UPS1 with 12V output

Is it possible to turn off the 5V output on the XH2.54-2P ports or the USB-A connectors when the pi5 is shutdown? I want to use them to power an LCD display and speakers but they continue to draw power when the pi is shut off.

Will this provide power if only 2 batteries are installed? I don't need the capacity of 4 18650s, but having a place to store and charge spares would be nice.

Is there a way to run the pi5 off of the 5v out XH connector? Due to size constraints I cannot use the pogo pins.

If I need to solder connectors from the GPIO to the Pogo pins, which ones are necessary for minimal function?

Hi，if you don't want to power Pi5 via pigo pins, you can use X728.

I noticed that the x1202 always said "AC Power OK" even with power plug disconnected. As the pld.py code ran I could press down on the Pi board and the x1202 would say "AC Power Loss". When I let up it would go back to "AC Power OK". Seems like a pogo is not making good contact. Any suggestions?

Hi,Please remove X1202 from Pi5, wipe the pogo pin with alcohol,then reinstall it. please adjust the position of the pigo pin appropriately so that it contacts the Pi5 well.

One of the pogos looks like it contacts the area for the Real-time battery. Does this also supply power for that port?

Can you disable auto-boot if you plug power in? In some situation you do not want to boot only charge.

Hardware or software modification needed?

What happens, if I connect a USB C power supply that does not provide 5V 5A but for example 5V 3A.

Will the UPS use the batteries to make up for the missing power? Is it possible to charge the UPS with 5V 3A when the PI is turned off?

Thank you

Hi，When the load is heavy and the USB-C power supply is insufficient, the UPS will draw power from the battery. But if the USB-C power supply does not have overcurrent protection, it may be damaged. It is recommended to use 5V 5A power supply.

Manual says "Note: the voltage range must be 3.00~4.10vdc." 18650's can go down to 2.5V per cell. Can the minimum be 2.5-2.7V or is 3.0V min a hardware limitation?

After using the USB C port on the x1202 I heard the board making small ticking noises. After I pulled the plug the entire unit lost power. Is the USB C port not the preferred port?
