DFRobot UPS HAT (dfr0494) - need some help
Brent.Bevans 2023-02-18 11:11:19 1312 Views9 Replies Just got a Raspberry Pi 4B to serve as a personal server at home.
As such I want clean shutdowns in case the electricity goes out or whatnot.
Thus got a DFRobot UPS HAT (dfr0494).
Couple questions:
- Can I plug the hat into the pi as is (or do I need to get a different power supply)?- What kind of battery do I need for this thing?
I used to do electronics when I was like 10 lol, forgot how to do all this stuff.
Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks :)
Ok got one of these:

and one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Supply-SoulBay-Adapter-Android/dp/B07CVH21NC
coming in the mail from Amazon prime
will they work? Everything is as specified…
Brent.Bevans Ok how about this as a power supply:

And this as a battery:

(of course with a usb-a to micro usb cable for the supply)?
Brent.Bevans Actually this one as the power supply:

Can I use this as the power supply?

also having a hard time finding a battery, anyone have any ideas?
Brent.Bevans I think you'll get your answer in the wiki page: https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Raspberry_Pi_UPS_HAT_SKU_DFR0494
It says “Please use 3.7V Lithium Battery that meets standard specification.”
