X1203 5.1V 5A UPS Shield+2 Pack 2-way parallel 18650+Push Button

Run local AI models, media servers, and industrial gateways without power interruption using this Geekworm X1203 5.1V 5A UPS Shield Kit.

Unexpected power failures cause immediate SD card corruption and system crashes on power-demanding boards like the Raspberry Pi 5. However, this high-power Geekworm X1203 UPS Shield Kit provides steady emergency backup power. It combines dynamic power path management with a high-current step-up converter to deliver up to 5A continuous output. Consequently, you can uncouple external power supplies safely without interrupting heavy processor workloads.

Key Features:

• High-Current 5.1V 5A Power Output: It features a heavy-duty power regulation circuit built specifically for Raspberry Pi 5 power requirements. Because of this generous 5A power headroom, connected USB peripherals and NVMe HATs operate without undervoltage warnings.

• Dual 2-Way Parallel 18650 Battery Holders: The kit includes two external parallel battery holders accommodating up to four 18650 cells. Therefore, you gain extended runtime and doubled current capacity for prolonged power outages.

• Solderless Bottom Pogo Pin Mount: It features gold-plated spring pins that connect directly to the bottom power test points. Furthermore, this bottom-mounting design leaves top expansion headers completely open for additional hardware shields.

• External Latching Push Button Switch: It includes a dedicated momentary push button for safe soft shutdowns and power switching. Simply press the external switch to initiate clean software shutdowns without pulling power cords.

Why should you choose this Geekworm X1203 UPS shield kit? Are you hosting local Home Assistant hubs, configuring remote network NAS units, or deploying field-bound edge computing nodes? Because of its seamless power switching, transitioning between AC wall power and battery backup happens instantaneously. Moreover, onboard protection chips prevent over-current, short circuits, and dangerous battery over-discharge. Furthermore, it offers exceptional thermal efficiency and build quality for makers, sysadmins, and commercial developers alike. Therefore, it is the ultimate high-power UPS solution for modern single-board computers. Simply assemble the included standoffs to secure your Pi 5 system today.
