## Features

- DFRobot Raspberry Pi UPS HAT is an uninterruptable power supply shield for Raspberry Pi. It can provide steady power source to Raspberry Pi for an extended period of time when the system is powered-off, by which to avoid system damage and assure safe shut down.
- In addition, the product could be used to supply stable power for some applications requiring mobility such as, Raspberry Pi camera, tablet PC, field data collection system.
- A MAX17043 fuel gauge is adopted in this product for accurate power detection.
- Beside, we also employs an on-board microcontroller (MCU) for data processing. In this way, Raspberry Pi board is able to get information of power capacity and battery voltage directly via I2C communication. 5 on-board LEDs for the shield could show the status of the battery capacity visually without programming.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: "A certain degree of heating"? What's the range, is it 5c or 20c above room temp (20c -ish)?**
A: Depends on how hard you load the pi, i would guess around our higher than 20 degrees of you are running anything with a screen on the pi

**Q: I bought this and installed it on my rasberry pi4.  when I plug into the mini usb it lights up but when I click the white button I get no power?**
A: The battery isn't plugged in properly. Pull it out and plug it back in.

**Q: Can I use any 3.7V lipo battery with this product?**
A: I would guess the "seller" is wrong here.  Clearly you need a 5V supply to charge the device, but the battery used is a 3.7V batters (as indicated in specs and on the board itself)

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    One star is one too many
  

*by D***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019*

After receiving the product I connected my Pi and a 3.7v 1800mAh Lipo battery. When powering the unit the lights came on solid then started blinking rapidly.  No video, no boot.  I removed the HAT board and tried powering the device and its dead.  I pulled the sd card and installed it in another PI, it worked fine.  This device in the blink of an eye destroyed my Pi.  Not recommended to say the least.
