UPS HAT (C) for Raspberry Pi Zero Boards, Provides 5V Uninterruptible Stable Power with Pogo Pin Connector

It dose the job, you can use your pi and charge this at the same time, i suppose you could charge it with a solar panel and use the pi as a security camera.

I ordered this UPS HAT with the intention of using it in a Raspberry Pi project. As soon as I plugged in the battery (the battery provided with the board), the board immediately became hot enough to cause a blister within seconds. I disconnected the battery right away, but I shudder to think what could have happened if I hadn’t been watching closely.The polarity on the JST connector appears to be backward, which is a known but unacceptable issue in cheap boards like this. There was no warning, no fail-safe, and no protection circuitry to prevent overheating or shorting.What if this had been a child? A beginner? Someone who plugged it in, set it down, and started reading the instructions? They could’ve walked away and come back to a lithium battery fire—a fire you cannot extinguish with water, and one that grows explosively.This product is dangerously flawed. It should not be sold without proper QC, safety features, or even a basic polarity check. I’ve initiated a return, and I strongly urge others to avoid this board unless you are prepared to diagnose and repair it yourself—and even then, it’s not worth the risk.

I bought a battery since none of the product description mentioned it coming with one.. but it came with one, so now I have a spare!

Haven't had a chance to try it, may revise my four stars when I do. Looks like a quality product. Zero documentation. This Amazon listing is all you get. Don't know when/why you would use the switch. Don't know if the chg LED goes out when it's charged. I guess I'll find out.

Where did my pi go, oh it restarted again. Why is the battery discharging when it is plugged into my laptop. Shutdown pi, why is my sensor still on 5 minutes later. Can only be powered from ups usb or ups doesn't work. I don't plan on using any usb ports. No power solder points on ups hat. This thing kind of sucks

I honestly purchased for a MMDVM hotspot setup, many have claimed to last 6 hours. Unfortuatnly, that was not the case with me. The battery gave me a solid 2 hours, which is ok, but not what I was going to....

When I plugin to the power outlet, the battery is charging but when I connect it to pi zero 2, there is no power going into the PI.
