As one of the smallest systems around there are so many amazing things you could do with the Raspberry Pi if it was self-powered and portable. Introducing PiJuice! A fully uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that will always keep your Raspberry Pi powered. The PiJuice HAT is a super-easy way to add a battery backup to Raspberry Pi.
Our revolutionary PiAnywhere technology contained in every PiJuice HAT - is the best way to take your Pi off the grid! The real time clock (RTC) on board will let your Pi know what time it is even with no power input or internet connection. Alongside this is an integrated microcontroller (MCU) chip which will manage soft shut down functionality and a true low power deep sleep state and intelligent startup.
You will be able to always keep track of the charge levels and other info with the two built-in tri-coloured RGB LEDs, trigger events and scripts with the thre programmable buttons and since the PiJuice will use up to just five of your GPIO pins (just power and I2C), the rest are free to diversify your project. The stacking header allows you to continue to use your existing HATs and add-ons with PiJuice.
*Depending on current consumption and model of Raspberry Pi
Need a bigger battery? Then check out some of the alternatives that we stock:
I had to wait a while for this to get back in stock. It was worth the wait. This compact hat fits perfectly and extends the gpio pins. I had previously tried a different battery solution and it was nothing but trouble. This one works. One caveat, I had set up an off/on button following code at howchoo.com - I had to undo that before I could communicate with the battery. No problem, as this has a power button it isn't needed anymore. I also purchased the 5000 mah battery from PiSupply and now I have a home-built portable computer that truly works. Run-time is at least several hours (need to do a real test) with the 7" touchscreen and a Samsung SSD drive, much more if I turn down the screen brightness. Get this one, it works!
Its really easy to use, compact and well thought out .
This product is the last parts to make perfect RaspberryPi!
The shipment arrived quickly, Canada post did not offer tracking. The hat fit on the raspberry pi 3B+ with no issues. The software installation was a bit trouble some because of not understanding the order of operations. But once all was configured it worked well. The project is still waiting on parts so the final installation has not been done.
Excellent and easy to set up the HAT. Will purchase more :)
