UBEC's (Universal Battery Eliminator Circuit's) are simply DC to DC step down voltage regulators! This UBEC is perfect for the Raspberry Pi, as it's able to take high voltages (5.5V up to 26V), and outputs a consistent safe voltage of 5V at up to 3A nominal or 5A max! The Hobbywing 5V 3A UBEC is a switch-mode type, which results in it being much more efficient than linear type UBEC's (so your batteries will last longer!)
UBEC's are perfect for applications where you plan to use the Raspberry Pi in a circuit with high voltages such as robots where you'll be driving motors!
Due to the voltage drop caused by the Raspberry Pi, it is recommended to input a minimum of 6.5V to receive a stable 5V output. Anything lower than 6.5V will result in a low voltage warning on the Pi.
Please Note. The Hobbywing UBEC can be set to output either 5V or 6V using an onboard jumper select! Please DOUBLE CHECK your output voltage is correct before connecting your microcontroller or circuit!
Features
- Designed with an advanced switch mode DC-DC regulator IC.
- Battery polarity reversal protection.
- A metal shield covers almost all the electronic components, and a specially made filter is attached to the output wires to significantly reduce the electromagnetic interference.
- The working status is shown by an indicator (LED), which lights when the output is in normal range.
- Output Voltage: [email protected] or [email protected] (Changeable with an output-voltage select jumper)
- Continuous output current: 3 Amps
- Maximum output current: 5 Amps
- Input: 5.5V - 26V (2 - 6 cells lithium battery pack or 5 - 18 cells NiMH /NiCd battery)
- Size: 43mm*17mm*7mm (L*W*H)
- Weight: 11g

This neat little board from Nanomesher adds a programmable power switch to your Raspberry Pi A+/B+/2/3/Zero/Zero W, which can be controlled by a single button or IR remote!
This is the Hackable Raspberry Pi Power switch which was successfully funded on Kickstarter in April 2017.
The Hackable Raspberry Pi Switch features an on board and removable Attiny85 Arduino Development MCU, which means the switch is both Smart and Hackable!
The Pi Switch Features
- Single button on/off or Infrared (IR) remote operation (Remote Included)
- LED light to indicate power status
- Blinks twice when Switch receives power
- Turn On when Pi is on
- Blinks when waiting for Pi to turn off
- Turn Off when Pi is off
- Use standard microUSB and USB female socket
- Suitable for mounting on front face plate
- Onboard Attiny85 Microprocessor can be removed and reprogrammed if needed
Package Include:
- Hackable and Smart Pi Power Switch with removable Attiny85 microcontroller
- 4 x Jumper cables to Pi
- High Quality MicroUSB cable (20cm)
- Infrared remote control
While it works out of the box. You can also reprogram it using an Attiny MCU programmer. Code and Guides are included are downloadable from here. There is a package which include both the Switch and Programmer
Being Hackable, the firmware can be modified so that the switch can be used as a development board with these functions:
- One output to trigger relay
- One output to LED
- One analog input to detect voltage between 0-5v
- One input for push button
- One input for infrared receiver which I have the code to distinguish all the buttons in the remote included
- One output to trigger an external digital input (pull down)
Operation Sequence
1. Press once to turn On
2. Press again to trigger shutdown of the Pi's Linus OS using the shutdown script
3. Switch will monitor the Pi and wait for the Pi to be fully shutdown (halt state)
4. Once halt state is detected, cut the power to the Pi.

UPS PIco HV3.0B Stack 450 Plus is an advanced uninterruptible power supply for the Raspberry Pi A+/B+/2/3, that adds a wealth of innovative power back-up functionality and development features to the innovative microcomputer! The UPS PIco will automatically shut-down your Raspberry Pi if there is a power failure, and can be set to automatically monitor and reboot your Pi once power has been restored!
The UPS PIco HV3.0B Stack Plus features a 5V 3A output, designed for use on the latest Raspberry Pi 3!
In addition to all the features contained in the standard UPS PIco, the UPS PIco HV3.0A Stack Plus features the following:
- Extended Voltage Input 7 - 28V DC - Protected with Zero Voltage Drop Inverse Polarity Protection, PPTC Over-current, and ESD. Ideal for Cars, Trucks, Buses and any industrial high voltage applications.
- Dynamic Power Tracking (DPT) - Charges the battery according to available input power from 100 mA - 1200 mA. DPT checks the input current every second, and adjusts the charging current based on this value making it ideal for Solar Panel applications.
- Bi Stable (Zero Power) Relay - With dual separated independent contacts
- Optical Isolated Input (Opto-Coupler) – Readable as A/D values
The UPS PIco is equipped with a 450mAh LiPO battery specially designed to enable safe shutdown during a power cut. Additionally, this can be easily upgraded to the extended 4000mAh or 8000mAh versions, which enables prolonged use of a Raspberry Pi for up to 16 hours without a power supply connected!
The UPS PIco features an embedded measurement system that continuously checks the powering voltage of the Raspberry Pi. When the cable power on the Raspberry Pi is absent, insufficient, or the device detects a power failure, the UPS Pico automatically switches to the unit’s battery source. The module then continues to check the voltage on the Pi and switches automatically back to the regular cable supply when power is once again available.
The UPS PIco is powered and the battery pack intelligently charged via the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi, so no additional cabling or power supply is required. Because the UPS Pico requires no external powering and fits within the footprint of the Raspberry Pi, it is compatible with most cases.
The UPS PIco can also be equipped with an optional Infra-Red Receiver which is routed directly to GPIO18 via the PCB for remote IR operations. Additionally the PIco includes an Automatic Temperature Control PWM FAN controller, and can be equipped with a Micro Fan Kit, which enables the use of the Raspberry Pi in extreme conditions including very high temperature environments. The UPS PIco is designed to be 100% compliant with HAT standards for the Raspberry Pi and includes a Gold Plated Reset Pin, with install locations for the Raspberry Pi Zero, B+/2 and 3.
