Overview
Two lithium cells on this Geekworm board power a Raspberry Pi when mains power drops, and software detects the loss and triggers a safe shutdown. Power goes into the board's USB-C port instead of the Pi's own socket.
Protecting a Pi server or home automation hub from sudden power loss prevents SD card corruption. Cells, case and adapter are extra, and the warranty is short.
Who it's for
Home lab builders and makers with always on Pi projects will value the safe shutdown. Beginners expecting a ready kit should budget for cells and an adapter.
Pros and cons
- Runs the Pi through outages
- Safe shutdown on power loss
- Auto power on
- Battery protection circuits
- Batteries not included
- Case sold separately
- Requires specific cell size
Performance notes
Runtime depends on the cells installed and the Pi's load; the listing quotes about twenty minutes. The board monitors input power and signals the Pi to shut down cleanly. Feeding power through the board, not the Pi, is required.
