The SupTronics X1200 provides 5.1V 5A backup power for Raspberry Pi 5, using two 18650 batteries (not included). Features include seamless power switching, fast 3A battery charging, auto shutdown, power loss detection, safe GPIO-controlled power-off, and bottom-mount design.
The SupTronicsX1200 is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) expansion board designed for Raspberry Pi 5, using two 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries(batteries not included) combined with an enhanced power management system to provide an intelligent UPS solution for your Pi 5, offering 5.1V 5A!
Reliable Power Backup: The X1200 provides a stable 5.1V 5000mA power backup, ensuring uninterrupted operation of your Raspberry Pi.
Enhanced Power Management: Intelligently monitors the power status of the Raspberry Pi and automatically cuts off power when the Pi is shut down. This helps optimise battery life by entering an ultra-low standby power consumption mode.
Seamless Power Switching: Equipped with AC power loss and power adapter failure detection, the X1200 seamlessly switches to backup power in the event of a power outage or power adapter failure.
Convenient Features: The X1200 offers convenient features such as auto power-on, enabling your Raspberry Pi to automatically boot up when power is restored. It also supports full power-off from software, allowing you to safely shut down your Raspberry Pi without manual intervention.
Fast Charging: With fast charging capabilities of up to 3000mA, the X1200 ensures quick recharging of the UPS, making it ready to provide backup power whenever needed.
Versatile Design: The X1200 is designed to be attached to the bottom and doesn't use the 40-pin header, enabling easy stacking with other Raspberry Pi accessory boards.
Seamless Data Backup: The X1200 is compatible with our range of top-mounted SupTronics storage products, providing integration for safe and reliable data backup. Your valuable data remains protected, even in the event of a power failure.

⚠️ Safety 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.
