Not bad but not the best.

A very good UPS for the Raspberry Pi Zero, unless you tend to be inattentive or forgetful. Be very careful when powering your Raspberry Pi from any connector other than the micro USB input on this board while in use. Now I've gone through two of them. One didn't provide the correct voltage out of the box and the second I accidentally mispowered and this ended up being used. Be sure to test Batt Vout and Vin with a multimeter prior to installation to ensure everything is working. I would describe this board. how fragile. Other experiences may vary.

Pros

Built-in ADC measures input voltage, output voltage, battery voltage and temperature. With the sample Python code, you can monitor them and shut down the Pi when a power outage and low battery occur.

Cons
