Frequently Asked Questions

What is the input voltage range for the DC power jack?

The board accepts a wide input range of 6V to 18V DC via the standard 5.5x2.1mm power jack. This compatibility allows the use of various common laptop-style power adapters or regulated DC supplies to charge the onboard batteries and power the system simultaneously.

How do I monitor the battery status with this UPS HAT?

Battery voltage and state-of-charge percentage are accessible via the I2C communication interface. You can read these values directly from the integrated fuel gauge IC using Python libraries or C code on the Raspberry Pi 5, enabling software-based low-battery alerts and graceful system shutdown routines.

Can I use this HAT with other add-on boards (HATs) on the Raspberry Pi 5?

Yes, the board is designed to attach to the bottom of the Raspberry Pi 5 using its own set of standoffs, leaving the top 40-pin GPIO header fully available. This allows you to stack another standard HAT on top for combined functionality without interference.

What happens during a main power failure?

The board continuously monitors the DC input voltage. Upon detecting a power outage or adapter failure, its power-path management circuitry automatically and seamlessly switches the Raspberry Pi 5's power source from the adapter to the backup 18650 batteries within milliseconds, preventing any system interruption.
