The UPS2 for C1 is designed specifically for the ODROID-C1.
Uninterrupted Power Supply is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source, typically mains power, fails. The on-battery runtime of most uninterruptible power sources is relatively short but sufficient to start a standby power source or properly shut down the ODROID-C1
When the AC power source fails, the UPS2 keeps supplying the power to the ODROID-C1 with the battery. There is a digital output pin to notice the battery low-level warning to the ODROID-C1 to trigger the shutdown process. And the AC power source available, UPS2 will supply the power to the ODROID-C1 again automatically.
It will significantly reduce the risk of data loss by sudden power-down.

Caution
The DCDC converters have an automatic shutdown/trip function which is activated when the load is very high even very short period.
The battery pack also has very sensitive protection circuit.
So the in-rush current can disconnect all the electrical path.
In this case, you must unplug the battery connectors and DC-plug to reset the protection circuit.
