SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

You must read these safety instructions and warnings before charging your batteries.
Lithium Polymer and Li-ion batteries are volatile. Failure to read and follow the below instructions may result in fire, personal injury and damage to property if charged or used improperly.
Never make wrong polarity connection when charging and discharging battery packs. Always double check polarity of battery's connector to make sure "+" to "+" and "-" to "-".
Do not mix and use old batteries and new batteries, or batteries with different brand names.
Lithium batteries has it's cycle life, please replace old battery with new one when it reaches it's service life or when it is two year old, whichever comes first.
When charging Battery Pack, please put battery in a fire proof container. Please don't leave the X1202 on the wood material or carpet and unattended.

Overview

This X1202 is an ultra-compact advanced uninterruptible power supply expansion board designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5.With its advanced features and robust power backup capabilities, the X1202 is perfect for even the most demanding Raspberry Pi setups.

Please note: If the UPS does not detect the RPi5, it will automatically shut down within 3 seconds. So you need to install the RPi 5 on the UPS and make sure that the RPi5 has good contact with the UPS's pogo pins.
