How to Operate
- Insert the Li-ion Battery HAT module into the GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi, and it can supply power to the Raspberry Pi. The switch on the module can control the Power On/Off for the Raspberry Pi.
- Insert the Li-ion Battery HAT module into the GPIO header of the Raspberry Pi, that is, supply power to the USB Type-A interface. If the module is not inserted into the Raspberry Pi GPIO headers, you can use a USB cable to supply power to the Raspberry Pi from the USB Type-A interface.
- Warning LED is a battery reversal warning light, you need to pull out the battery turn a direction and then connect it to the module. Do not connect the charging cable when replacing the battery. After replacing the battery there is no power output, you need to charge it to have power output.
- There are 5 power indicator LEDs on the module to show the battery status.
- The Quick Charge LED is a fast-charging status indicator. Only when charging with a charger that supports Quick Charge, charging with a normal 5V charger will not work again in the Quick Charge state.
- The battery used in the Li-ion Battery HAT module is a rechargeable 14500 battery with a nominal voltage of 3.7V, a full charge of 4.2V, and a discharge voltage of 3V. Note: The module cannot be connected to ordinary non-rechargeable 7 batteries.
- Discharge time is directly related to the battery capacity already loaded, use an 800mAh battery to power Raspberry Pi 3B+ for about 50 minutes (Raspberry Pi 3B+ power consumption will be a bit higher than Raspberry Pi 3B), to power Raspberry Pi ZERO W about 2~3 hours. (Raspberry Pi at zero loads).
- Li-ion Battery HAT Module theoretically can be connected to a larger capacity battery by soldering, non-professionals are not recommended to weld without permission.
