Product description: UPS overlay with Li-Pol battery for Raspberry Pi Pico - Waveshare 20121
The overlay designed for Raspberry Pi Pico, acts as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in case of a sudden power failure. It also allows to monitor battery level via I2C interface. It comes with a male GPIO pinout connector from the Raspberry Pi Pico module, which allows you to connect multiple overlays and create so-called stacks. The kit comes with a 600 mAh Li-Pol 3.7 V battery with JST 2.0 mm connector.
The manufacturer has also prepared a user guide with sample programs for Raspberry Pi Pico.
The item for sale is the UPS overlay, Raspberry Pi Pico can be purchased separately.
UPS overlay for Raspberry Pi Pico.Safety Notes
- Li-ion and Li-po batteries are quite unstable. They can cause fire, personal injury, or property damage if not charged or used properly.
- Do not connect the terminals in reverse when charging or discharging batteries. Do not use an inferior charger/charging panel to charge the batteries.
- Do not mix old batteries with new batteries, avoid using batteries of different brands.
- When buying a lithium battery, always make sure that the battery specification is compatible with the expansion board. Choose batteries from an official manufacturer and make sure the batteries will work stably and safely by performing an aging test.
- Lithium batteries have a limited life cycle and will deteriorate over time. They should be replaced when the batteries have reached their maximum life cycle or have been in service for more than two years, whichever comes first.
- The battery should be placed carefully and properly, keep it away from flammable and explosive materials, away from children, avoid accidents caused by careless storage.
