[CNX-Software] - Geekworm UPS Scap 5V5A – A supercapacitor UPS HAT for Raspberry Pi 5

Geekworm, in collaboration with Mcuzone, has launched the UPS Scap 5V5A, a new supercapacitor UPS HAT for the Raspberry Pi 5 designed to keep the Raspberry Pi running long enough (a few seconds to a few minutes) to save data and shut down safely, rather than provide hours of backup power. Available in 100F, 60F, and 22F versions, the HAT has a built-in PD chip that negotiates a true 5V/5A output. This gives the Raspberry Pi 5 enough power to run properly without triggering the low-voltage warnings that can happen with some power supplies. The module connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 through pogo pins to detect power loss and supports I2C for checking voltage and current in real time. It also features dual independent power inputs, so you can power it with either a wide-voltage DC barrel jack or a standard USB-C PD charger. Geekworm UPS Scap 5V5A supercapacitor [...]
