SAFETY CAUTIONS
- Li-ion and Li-po batteries are quite unstable. They may cause fire, personal injury, or property damage if they're not properly recharged or used.
- Do not reversely connect the polarities when recharging or discharging the battery. Do not use an inferior charger/charging panel to recharge the battery.
- Do not mix use old batteries with new ones, avoid using batteries of different brands.
- When buying Lithium battery, should always make sure the battery specification is compatible with the expansion board. Choose batteries from formal manufacturer, and ensure the batteries will work stably and safely by aging test.
- Lithium batteries have a limited cycle life, they will also deteriorate as time goes by. Should be replaced with new ones when the batteries reach their max cycle life, or work over two years, whichever comes first.
- Should be placed carefully and properly, keep it away from inflammables and explosives articles, away from children, avoid any safety accident caused by careless storage.

Uninterruptible Power
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
Designed for the Raspberry Pi series
Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO header, customized for Raspberry Pi series boards
Real-time monitoring
monitoring the battery voltage, current, power, and remaining capacity
When the voltage dips too low, it is possible to save files properly and then shutdown the system by software, to avoid any data loss
Safe and stable circuit design
Protection circuits for overcharge/discharge, over current, short circuit, and reverse
along with the equalizing charge feature, a more safe and stable
5V USB Output as well
convenient for powering other boards
Battery warning indicators
easy to check if the battery is connected correctly
