Geekworm X-UPS1 12V/5V Dual Output Universal SBC Stackable UPS Shield

Note: The 18650 batteries is not included in the packing list!!!

Overview
The X-UPS1 is an universal stackable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) shield for most Single Board Computers (SBC) that uses 12Vdc or 5Vdc power input. The UPS ensures that in event of power interruption, a battery or any other power source will intervene without any effect on your board.

The convenient stackable design allows you to connect several UPS modules on your boards to provide long-lasting & higher output power for even the most demanding SBC set ups that have constant power connections 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Key Features
Power Output

• Provides dual 12Vdc & 5Vdc or single 5Vdc output
• Each board provides max 3A power backup
• Can be stacked to increase output current and battery life
• Total output current could be 3A multiplied by the No. of boards
• Reverse Current Protection
• Integrate Advanced Power MOSFET with Equivalent of 7mΩ RDS(ON) to reduce power loss

Battery Charging

• Supports 3000mA fast battery charging
• Battery over current protection and over voltage protection
• Protection of battery cell Reverse Connection
• Low battery detection (LED and 3.3V level output)
• Onboard 4 green LEDs indicate battery charging and discharging levels of 25%, 50% , 75% and 100%
• 18650 4cell lithium Ion holders

Power Input

• Integrated highefficiency stepdown DC/DC converter
• Wide 6V to 24V operating input range
• Up to 95% Efficiency
• Up to 10A output current to keep 3A fast charging and powering your SBC at the same time
• Allows powering from a car, a solder pannel and other power sources
• Most common power input jack: 5.5x2.1mm

Power Control

• Onboard push button to control power on /off (PressON, Hold the button pressed at least 3s OFF )
• Onboard LEDs shows the status of power output
• AC power loss or power adapter failure detection (LED and 3.3V level output)
• Jumper setting to enable Auto power on when power applied or restored
• Jumper setting to disable 12V output
• Ultralow standby power consumption to maximize battery life
• Advanced system powerpath management avoids batteries frequent charging and discharging

Misc

• Power output connectors : VH3.96 x2 (12V) / XH2.54 x2 (5V) / USB TypeA x2 (5V)
• PH2.0-4P for external power switch
• PH2.0-4P for low battery and AC power loss deteciton

Specifications

• Power input (Single board) : 6-24Vdc ±5%, ≥3A
• UPS output voltage : 12Vdc ±5%, 5.1Vdc ±5%
• UPS output current (Single boards) : Max 3A
• UPS output current (Stackable boards) : 3A x No. of the boards
• UPS charging current (Single board) : 2.3~3.2A
• Terminal Battery Voltage : 4.24V
• Battery Recharge Threshold : 4.1V
• Battery low detection: ≤3V

Warning about power supply:

1. Don't use that adjustable voltage power supply.
2. Don't use the same power supply used on LED strips.

The above two are absolute garbage power supply, can not be used!!!

Notes for Stackable Application:

• All power input are connected together via the 18-pin female header, input current is subject to the No. of boards.
• You can use one board to turn on/off all stackable boards. (be noted that which board you press the button to turn on, also must the same board to turn off.)
• If the jumper for auto power on is inserted on one board, then this funciton will be enabled for all stackable boards.
