The LattePanda UPS Hat ensures that power outages no longer interrupt your workflow, offering a reliable solution.
The UPS Hat for LattePanda 3 Delta 2 Alpha 2 Delta Single Board Computer is easy to install and fits securely onto the pins. Compatible with three 18650 lithium-ion batteries, it provides essential power and battery storage. Additionally, dual TypeC PD and 5.5mm DC interfaces offer further power supply. This UPS Hat guarantees a secure switch to battery power in case of any external power supply disruption, ensuring your LattePanda's safety.
The UPS Hat features HID-UPS protocol compatibility, which is recognized by the operating system as a battery device. System power management is available to enable power-saving modes and auto shutoff, just like a laptop battery. Plus, Arduino's HID-UPS protocol is open source, allowing users to tailor the battery power algorithm with more precision and set a charging voltage limit for prolonged battery life.
The UPS Hat utilizes a direct power supply to the LattePanda 3 Delta, eliminating the need for a power boost or buck circuit, to extend the battery life for up to 8 hours. This has been verified with three 3.7V 3400mA·h 18650 lithium-ion batteries.
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.
