Pico - Uninterruptible Power Supply

The Pico - Uninterruptible Power Supply Module is specifically designed for Raspberry Pi Pico. It ensures your Pico keeps running while recharging and lets you monitor the battery status via the I2C bus. Key features include a standard Raspberry Pi Pico header for easy connection, a Li - ion battery switching charger with dynamic power path management for a stable power supply, real - time battery monitoring through I2C communication, and multiple battery protection circuits for safety. There are also onboard indicators to check battery connection. It comes with development resources and a manual, including Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ and MicroPython examples. Specifications: 5V recharge voltage, I2C control bus, supports 14500 Li - ion battery (not included), and has dimensions of 60 × 21mm. It has an onboard female pin header for direct attachment to Raspberry Pi Pico. Note that Raspberry Pi Pico and Li - ion battery are not included. On - board components include recharger chips, voltage/current monitoring chips, and various protection chips and MOS devices.

Using the Pico Uninterruptible Power Supply Module is straightforward. First, attach it to your Raspberry Pi Pico using the onboard female pin header. Then, insert a 14500 Li - ion battery into the battery holder (battery not included). The module will start providing power to your Pico and charge the battery. You can monitor the battery status via the I2C bus. If you replace the battery, press the activate button to activate the protection circuit. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to check the onboard indicators regularly to ensure the battery is connected correctly. Avoid over - charging or over - discharging the battery as the module has protection circuits, but it's still good practice. Also, keep the module in a dry and cool place. If you face any issues, refer to the development resources and manual provided with the module.
