    Description

    Note: From January 2024 onwards, a new version (V1.3) of UPS Power HAT is released where the board structure slightly differs from the previous version.

     

    The new UPS Power HAT for Raspberry Pi Zero is an uninterruptable power supply HAT (Hardware Attach of Top) for the small yet powerful single-board computer. It can provide a steady power source to Raspberry Pi for an extended time when the main power is off, by which to avoid unpredictable system down and assure safe shutdown. In addition, the product could be used to supply stable power for some applications requiring mobility such as Raspberry Pi camera, tablet PC, field data collection system, a portable Raspberry Pi as a Laptop, or IoT (Internet of Things).

     

     

    The HAT comes with three onboard LEDs as output indicators to show the status of the battery at full capacity or charging. A MAX17040 fuel gauge is adopted in this product for accurate power detection. Thus, the Raspberry Pi board can get information on battery capacity and battery voltage directly via I2C communication.

     

    Note: The HAT comes with a battery, but not a Raspberry Pi computer, please get it separately.

     

    Using it:

    • Stack the Raspberry Pi Zero computer onto the UPS HAT via the 40-pin GPIO and tighten the screw to the Pi Zero board with the nut provided 
    • To power on the Rasberry Pi Zero, simply toggle the switch on UPS HAT to 'ON' and vice versa
    • Charge the UPS HAT via micro B receptor on the HAT
    • UPS HAT is also in charging mode when Raspberry Pi and UPS HAT are powered up at the same time.

    Note: To get the battery capacity and voltage, you need to run a Python script (provided in the "Resources" section).

     

     

    Warranty Period: 12 months
    Features
    • Suitable for Raspberry Pi Zero W / 2W.
    • Cascading (from bottom) design saves space while powering Raspberry Pi and expansion boards without affecting GPIO expansion.
    • Support up to 400mA charging current for battery charging
    • Can be charged and supply power to Raspberry Pi at the same time.
    • With 3 LED power indicators: FULL indicator, CHARGE indicator, and 5V Output Indicator.
    • The HAT comes with a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) with a capacity of 1000mAh.
    • Able to power Raspberry Pi Zero for around 30 minutes without main supply under normal usage.
    • Removable battery, user can choose a larger capacity lithium battery pack (NOTE: typical voltage must be 3.7V).
    • With a safety protection circuit to prevent overcharge and over-discharge.
    • Support I2C communication with Raspberry Pi main board for battery voltage and capacity

    Note: The USP HAT will provide power to Raspberry Pi via GPIO pins, so DO NOT connect the micro USB to the Raspberry Pi. Please connect the micro USB to the UPS HAT board and the UPS HAT will power Raspberry Pi Zero via the GPIO.
