What happened
Geekworm, working with Mcuzone, has launched the UPS Scap 5V5A, a supercapacitor-based uninterruptible power supply HAT designed for the Raspberry Pi 5.S1 The board is intended to keep the Raspberry Pi running "long enough (a few seconds to a few minutes) to save data and shut down safely," rather than to provide hours of backup power.S1
The HAT is offered in three supercapacitor variants rated 100F, 60F, and 22F.S1 It integrates a Power Delivery chip to negotiate a true 5V/5A output, which is described as sufficient to run the Raspberry Pi 5 "without triggering the low-voltage warnings that can happen with some power supplies."S1 Power-loss detection is handled through pogo pins on the Raspberry Pi 5, and an I2C interface exposes voltage and current readings in real time.S1
The module accepts two independent power inputs: a wide-voltage DC barrel jack and a standard USB-C PD charger.S1 The combination of pogo-pin loss detection, I2C telemetry and dual inputs lets the host software decide whether to initiate an orderly shutdown or continue running, depending on the supercap variant installed.

Background timeline
- - Geekworm and Mcuzone publicly introduce the UPS Scap 5V5A supercapacitor UPS HAT for the Raspberry Pi 5 in 22F, 60F, and 100F versions, with 5V/5A PD output, pogo-pin loss detection and I2C telemetry.[S1]
- No prior milestones disclosed by the source.
XAIPART take
Technical impact
The 5V/5A PD negotiation is the meaningful change here: prior Raspberry Pi 5 HAT designs often relied on 5V/3A or 5V/4A sources and tripped the bootloader low-voltage warning under CPU load.S1 A HAT that pulls 5A cleanly is closer to a "drop-in" power source for Pi 5 industrial builds, especially when paired with a USB-C PD brick on the second input.
Pogo-pin sensing plus an I2C telemetry channel is a deliberate design choice for fleet deployment: a daemon on the Pi can read voltage and current continuously and trigger an orderly shutdown before the supercaps collapse.XAIPART analysis
Market impact
Three capacitance tiers (22F/60F/100F) let buyers tune cost-per-node against acceptable shutdown window, which is more granular than typical single-value UPS HATs in this segment.S1 For small-batch industrial or kiosk integrators, that tiering can simplify BOMs across product lines that previously needed different UPS boards per site.XAIPART analysis
Supercapacitor-based UPS parts generally ship with shorter lead times than Li-ion battery UPS HATs, which have faced periodic shipping constraints on hobbyist channels; sourcing teams should still verify any RoHS/UN38.3 documentation is provided even though no cells are present.XAIPART analysis
Action
Engineering teams prototyping Pi 5 gateways or HMIs should shortlist the 60F or 100F variants for any deployment where an unclean shutdown corrupts state (databases, MQTT buffers, SD-card journaling).XAIPART analysis
Procurement should request Geekworm's I2C register map and any reference shutdown daemon before issuing a POs, and confirm whether the dual-input feature supports hot-swap between the DC barrel jack and the USB-C PD source for redundant-power topologies.XAIPART analysis
XAIPART Forecast
XAIPART expects that, by Q2 2027, at least one of the three UPS Scap 5V5A capacitance tiers (22F, 60F or 100F) will be listed in stock at two or more XAIPART-tracked distributor catalogs with a published unit price under 5 USD per 10F of rated capacitance; if no tier is listed in stock at two distributors by 2027-06-30, this forecast is wrong.XAIPART analysis
