Overview
A lithium polymer battery board gives a Raspberry Pi backup power, taking over when the main supply drops and handling an automatic safe shutdown. It pairs with the Pi without soldering and leaves the GPIO pins open for other add-ons.
Battery backup with an automatic safe shutdown lets a small Pi project ride out a power cut or go portable without a hard power-off. Open GPIO means other add-on boards can still connect. Only a short list of board models is named, so owners of other Pi models get no confirmation of fit.
Who it's for
Suited to a small always-on Pi project on a shelf or a portable build carried in a bag. Owners of unlisted Pi boards, and anyone backing up a computer or router, need a different UPS.
Pros and cons
- Automatic safe shutdown on power loss
- No soldering needed
- GPIO pins remain open
- Both USB-C and Micro USB connectors
- Short list of supported Pi models
- Runtime load conditions not listed
- No power adapter in the box
Performance notes
Runtime depends on how much current the Pi and its attached devices pull from the battery, so a busy board with USB peripherals drains it faster than an idle one. The output current ceiling limits what can be powered at once. The auto shutdown matters most during long outages, closing the system cleanly instead of letting power simply vanish.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the PiSugar S Plus?
The listing gives 4.13 x 2.72 x 1.34 inches and a weight of 2.82 ounces. Check that height against your case before ordering.
Do I need to solder the PiSugar S Plus?
No. The listing states zero soldering and full open GPIO, so other add-ons can still use the pins.
Does the PiSugar S Plus come with a power adapter?
No. The power plug type is given as no plug and the box lists one PiSugar S Plus, so plan on your own 5 volt USB supply.
Is the PiSugar S Plus a UPS for a desktop PC?
No. It is a small battery board for Raspberry Pi projects with a 15 watt output, not a mains UPS with outlets.
