Good hardware, poor documentation, and quality control issues

The X708 is a pretty good UPS for any Raspberry Pi model that has a 40-pin GPIO header. This gives you the ability to reset, power off, or force power off with varying durations of pressing a single momentary switch. This provides a way to control the battery via software. It provides a way to shut down software that actually turns off the power. All these things are beautiful and I really like them. BUT. The documentation is poor, to say the least. Geekworm doesn't even have its own website…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor issues

Amazing Single Board Computers

Perhaps the only downside is the smaller fan and mismatched cutouts in the X857-C1. I haven't downloaded the software or tried to use it for a long time, but I need to keep two batteries in the same case. Cool so far. Many Thanks

Pros
  • Wide Range
Cons
  • Zero
