Product description
It is able to charge the batteries and provide power output at the same time from external power supply. Automatically switch over to batteries output if external power supply is unavailable, keeps the system running without any trouble
Adapting various interfaces via cables, easy to integrate into mobile robots or industrial control equipment. I2C bus communication, monitoring the batteries voltage, current, power in real time
Multi battery protection circuits: over charge/discharge protection, over current protection, short circuit protection, and reverse protection, along with the equalizing charge feature, more safe and stable
Onboard 5V regulator, up to 5A continuous output current, more sufficient power source for Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano. Batteries warning indicators, easy to check if the battery is connected correctly
The batteries required for this module are NOT included, please purchase the correct batteries seperately according to the instruction. With online development resources and manual, please refer to while using
Customers say
Customers have mixed experiences with the UPS module’s power supply capabilities, with one customer reporting consistent power delivery while another notes it doesn’t provide the advertised 5A output. Moreover, the documentation receives mixed feedback, with several customers mentioning the lack of instructions and manual.

Exactly what I needed, works great, with great features
This works great. I’ve been using it now for a couple of weeks. And the features are awesome. Not only does it provide on board 5V, but you can get access to the battery voltage. This can be run through ha separate buck, to get any other voltages needed. Have connected and disconnected multiple times, and power is consistent. I am using 18650 cells w/o the button top. fit of the cells is great. Have also used the onboard current monitor and integrated that into my project, with no issues. Highly recommend this product.

Makes the rpi very portable
Works great – button top batteries are harder to get installed than normal 18650 batteries but after running for a week, I am pretty happy with it. Would be nice if instructions were included in the box but the pictures are on the website so that kind of helps.

Does not provide header wires or 5A for pi 5.
Advertised for the Raspberry pi 5 for providing 5V/5A. However does not provide 5A. After Pi 5 turns on with no perhiperals attached, still gives a power warning that 5A is not delivered and peripherals will be limited. Also, the pictures shown to use the header pins to the GPIO for more detailed battery details. However no header pins are provided.

Works great
Great product. Comes with sample codes on their wiki page. Delivers power like you’d expect. Buy it

Not exactly as advertised – Not for beginners – No Instructions, less than perfect
The idea of this uninterruptible power supply is great, the execution is pretty good, but not 5 star.Product lacks documentation; no instructions provided, not even a little card that says “here’s the link to read the instructions from the web”. Nothing. Manufacturer website has some images to figure out what you’re doing, but no instructions.CAUTION if you’re a beginner.Does NOT include I2C or Multi-function Header connection wires.Plastic standoffs (YES plastic, they aren’t even brass as is the industry standard) are not plumb, and had some bend, this makes screw alignment a bit of challenge.I wish the acrylic spacers provided were clear, and not smoked/black, which would makes seeing the operating lights difficult to see.The plus is that the acrylic spacers provided are easy to drill, so mounting under a Pi5, and under a nvme bottom, wasn’t too much of a stretch.

5v5a, does the job of providing portabable power.
Does exactly what I need, provides 5v5a to a pi 5 running several accessories. Has plenty of plugs and exposed pins on the board to power several devices at once. Great little UPS, gives me about 1 hour 30 mins of runtime with 3400mah 18650’s on a pi5 with a display, and nvme drive, and several little periphals.

This bad boy rules. Love it. Been powering my phone for a full year, without issues. Very good documentation on outputs, to write a little script to monitor battery life, eta to charge/depletion, etc.

Protected 18650 batteries will not fit.
The board will not take protected 18650 batteries. They are longer than unprotected batteries.

Module UPS acheté pour équiper un Raspberry pi 4B, avec des accus du type 18650. Le tout fonctionne à merveille. A noter que le bloc alimentation fourni est bien équipé d’une fiche européenne (bipolaire 4mm), contrairement à la présentation. Module de construction robuste, fourni avec des accessoires permettant de le monter dans un boitier très pratique. Enchanté de mon achat.Mise à jour le 18/01/2025: pour ceux qui sont intéressés par des infos techniques. Utilisation depuis plusieurs jours avec des accus de 3400mAh, autonomie de près de 6h en fonctionnement ininterrompu du Rpi, avec une application de streaming de 2 webcam usb simultanément en 1920 x 1080, 15fps, 7Mbps chacune. Le Rpi consomme en moyenne 550mA. J’ai connecté 2 UPS en parallèle (les connecteurs sont fournis), ce qui permettra d’assurer une autonomie de plus de 11h. Fonctionnement irréprochable.

Depuis son installation avec mon Rpi, pas de soucis. J’ai eu des coupures de courant et tout a fonctionné.

Meine Raspberry-Pi-Heizungssteuerung wird über einen 5 V-USB-Anschluss von einem Trafo mit Strom versorgt. Auf einer Micro-SD-Card befinden sich die Steuerungsdaten der Heizung. Da die Software der Karte bei einem plötzlichen Stromausfall leicht zerstört werden kann, kam es nach einem tatsächlichen Stromausfall zu Problemen: Beim Wiedereinschalten wurde durch eine Ãberspannung der Trafo zerstört. Deshalb habe ich beschlossen, nach einer Lösung zu suchen, die den Raspberry Pi bei einem erneuten Stromausfall weiterhin mit Strom versorgt und so einen erneuten Serverabsturz verhindert.Und weil der Raspberry Pi auf eine stabile Stromzufuhr angewiesen ist, habe ich mich entschieden, das bei Amazon angebotene “Waveshare Uninterruptible Power Supply UPS Module” zu kaufen. Zusätzlich musste ich noch drei Lithium-Akkus kaufen, die bei einem Stromausfall den benötigten stabilisierten Strom liefern.Die komplette Lösung, drei Lithium-Akkus, das Waveshare Power Supply und eine Steckdosenleiste mit Ãberspannungsschutz haben mich weniger ca. 87 Euro gekostet. Eine Ersatz-Micro-SD-Card mit der aufgespielten Heizungs-Steuerungssoftware hätte mich beim Hersteller der Heizungssteuerung im Fall ihrer Zerstörung 200 Euro plus Versand gekostet.Ich denke, meine Entscheidung für das Waveshare Power Supply zuzüglich 3 Lithium -Akkus und der Steckdosenleiste mit Ãberspannungsschutz war eine gute Entscheidung. Wenn Sie näheres wissen möchten, können Sie mir über Amazon gern Ihre Frage stellen. ð

Ãrün Raspberry Pi 5 için biçilmiÅ kaftan. Ä°ster Åarj ederken kullanın, ister sadece bataryada. Güç kesintisinde anında devreye giriyor. Ãzerinde gelen Switch kaliteli hissiyata sahip. Tavsiye ederim.

I have about a dozen Waveshare products on my bench now for when I’m experimenting with Pies.This latest UPS module allows me to power projects that require a steady supply like any data logging or even better AC uptime datalogging. The board is very well built and laid out and they included some bells and whistles for the home tinkering. Examples of this is the reverse polarity LED indicators for each cell, and even an i2c interface to provide some status data. While I don’t have an immediate project, this is yet another useful board to have on the bench!
