It uses the standard HID-UPS protocol, so Windows 10 and Windows 11 can recognise it as a battery device without drivers or custom programming.The board accepts three user-installed 18650 Li-ion cells and can keep a LattePanda IOTA running through power interruptions, helping protect uptime and data integrity. Power can be supplied via USB Type-C PD or a DC jack, while the onboard MX1.25 10-pin connector links to the LattePanda board.Hardware-level configuration is handled by an onboard 3-position DIP switch for functions such as auto power-on, safe shutdown on power loss and battery charging limit settings. After system shutdown, the board enters an ultra-low-power standby state to reduce battery drain.Battery cells are not included. This board is compatible only with LattePanda IOTA and is intended for Windows 10 / Windows 11 HID-UPS support.
