This series of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) expansion boards provided by Geekworm for Raspberry Pi 5 demonstrates high flexibility and customization, which is very suitable for various project needs, especially those application scenarios that require stable power supply and battery backup. Here is a detailed analysis of each expansion board and its advantages:

X1200

• Features: Onboard 2 18650 battery holders, compact design, suitable for projects with limited space.
• Advantages: It can provide stable 5V@5A current output to meet the power supply needs of most Raspberry Pi and its peripherals.
• Application scenarios: Suitable for small projects that require a certain battery backup but have limited space, such as portable monitoring equipment, small robots, etc.

X1201

• Features: It also has 2 18650 battery boxes on board, but it is designed to be placed side by side with the motherboard to achieve the thinnest effect.
• Advantages: While maintaining strong power supply capacity, it optimizes space occupancy, especially suitable for scenarios with strict thickness requirements.
• Application scenarios: The ultra-thin design makes it suitable for scenarios with strict volume requirements such as wall-mounted devices and embedded systems.

X1202

• Features: Onboard 4 18650 battery holders, providing higher battery capacity.
• Advantages: Longer battery life, suitable for applications that require long-term operation and cannot frequently replace batteries.
• Application scenarios: Suitable for field monitoring stations, remote data loggers and other equipment that require long-term unattended operation.

X1203

• Features: No battery holder, but reserved XH2.54 battery interface, highly flexible.
• Advantages: Users can choose the appropriate battery type and capacity according to actual needs, greatly improving the flexibility of DIY.
• Application scenarios: Suitable for advanced DIY projects that have specific requirements for batteries or want to use non-standard battery configurations.

X1205

• Features: Onboard 2 21700 battery holders, compact design, suitable for projects with limited space.
• Advantages: It can provide stable 5V@6A current output to meet the power supply needs of most Raspberry Pi and its peripherals.
• Application scenarios: Suitable for small projects that require a certain battery backup but have limited space, such as portable monitoring equipment, small robots, etc.
• Added AUTO POWER ON jumper settings for more flexible use.

X1206

• Features: Onboard 4 21700 battery holders, providing higher battery capacity.
• Advantages: Longer battery life, can provide stable 5V@6A current output , suitable for applications that require long-term operation and cannot frequently replace batteries.
• Application scenarios: Suitable for field monitoring stations, remote data loggers and other equipment that require long-term unattended operation.
• Added AUTO POWER ON and ALWAYS POWER ON jumper settings for more flexible use.

Common advantages

• Intelligent monitoring: All expansion boards can intelligently monitor the power status of the Raspberry Pi 5 and automatically cut off the power when shutting down, which helps to extend the battery life.
• Sufficient power supply capacity: They can provide stable and reliable Vdc 5V@5A power supply capacity.
• Programming interface: Supports software programming, reads UPS status (such as battery capacity, voltage), and realizes advanced functions such as low voltage automatic shutdown and external power supply shedding alarm.
• Easy installation: The pogo pins are used to connect to the motherboard, which simplifies the installation process. It also comes with an onboard switch and a reserved external switch PIN for easy user control.

Summary

This series of UPS expansion boards from Geekworm provides a wealth of choices for Raspberry Pi 5 users, whether they are pursuing space efficiency, battery life or DIY flexibility, they can find a solution that suits them. Through intelligent monitoring and programming interfaces, these expansion boards also give projects a higher level of intelligence and automation.

Note:

• Note that you can use only one battery and it will work.
• The exact battery capacity depends on the 18650 lithium battery you use and the quantity.We recommend that you use lithium batteries from big brands such as Samsung or Panasonic.
