UPS Hat for LattePanda

Most importantly, our UPS Hat supports the HID-UPS protocol, which can be recognized as a battery device in the operating system. Like an internal laptop battery, you can use system power management to implement power-saving modes and automatic shutdown functions. Moreover, the HID-UPS protocol is implemented through Arduino, and the code is open source. You can edit a more accurate battery power algorithm by yourself and set the charging voltage limit to extend the battery life.

When the UPS Hat uses the battery, the three 18650 batteries directly power the LattePanda without any extra boost or buck circuit consuming energy, so the battery life can last up to 8 hours, allowing your LattePanda to hold on until the power is restored. (Tested with three 3.7V 3400mA·h 18650 lithium-ion batteries paired with a LattePanda 3 Delta.)

Note:

Due to transportation safety restrictions, the UPS Hat does not include 18650 lithium batteries, and you need to purchase 3.7V 18650 lithium batteries separately.

Installation Steps

Note: Do not install the lithium battery before the UPS Hat is in place

.

Step 1. Align the UPS power interface side with the LattePanda TypeC/RJ45/HDMI interface side

.

.

Step 2. Insert the UPS Hat into the LattePanda

.

.

Step 3. Check that the pins are fully inserted in order, without any floating or bent pins.

The UPS Hat pins are longer to reserve space for heat dissipation and ventilation. The figure shows the appearance after the installation is in place.
