Ugeek UPS3 hat allows to power a raspberry 4B 3B+ 3b with battery that you must be above 2500mAh. The git code is requires 2 dependencies to be installed manually otherwise the power led will not be activated.

The main advantage is the support of Quick Charge QC3 5V/9V/12V, refilling your battery very fast.

Once the hat is installed, power you raspberry and ssh. We will first install the missing dependencies:

sudo apt-get install scons
sudo apt-get install python-pip (usually already installed)
sudo apt install python-smbus

git clone https://github.com/u-geek/SmartUPSV3.git --depth 1
cd SmartUPSV3/
sudo ./install.sh (setup the options led brightness, autorun, safe shutdown etc... then apply settings)

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Now check the the status of the UPS3:

sudo python status.py

Reading status...
         Count:  1
         Input:  Connected
  ChargeStatus:  Charging
BatteryVoltage:  4.00 V
           SOC:  21 %
