Vszerda X1200 UPS Board for Raspberry Pi 5

The Vszerda X1200 is a power management expansion board designed for the Raspberry Pi 5. It provides uninterruptible power supply functionality to protect projects from sudden power loss. The board is sold without a lithium battery, so users must source a compatible cell separately. It suits makers and developers building reliable edge devices or portable Pi 5 systems.

Capacity and headroom with the 1200 board

The X1200 handles standard Raspberry Pi 5 workloads and offers headroom for typical HATs or USB peripherals during mains failures. Runtime depends entirely on the capacity and condition of the user-supplied lithium battery. It runs out when the installed cell is depleted and cannot sustain the Pi through extended outages without a sufficiently large pack. Builders needing guaranteed long-duration backup must calculate their own battery requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the X1200 UPS board fit alongside my existing Raspberry Pi 5 HATs and pHATs?

The X1200 mounts on the Pi 5 GPIO header and provides pass-through pins so most standard HATs can stack above it, though very tall components on the HAT may clear the onboard battery terminals.

How can I confirm the X1200 is charging the Li-ion cells correctly after I install them?

Watch the onboard LED indicators — they show charging, full-charge and fault states — and read the I2C registers via the supplied Python library to see real-time voltage, current and capacity percentages.
