## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=WS-22116:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/WS-22116:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

If you're looking for batteries for this board, grab 3x of these - [Polymer Lithium Ion Battery, 18650 Cell (3.7V 2600mAh).](https://core-electronics.com.au/polymer-lithium-ion-battery-18650-cell-2600mah.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAj9m7BhD1ARIsANsIIvB78Ky7KoncNfa-4rfY8wu0PIke-3S7ULndUDBvUJQyiYNQpuYGSaEaAjJ0EALw_wcB)

The UPS Base Board supports three external power supplies: USB, wide voltage DC, and PoE. When connected to an external power source, it powers the system and charges the batteries. The battery automatically disconnects once fully charged to preserve its lifespan. If the external power isn't enough, the battery supplements it to keep the system running smoothly. Even if the battery fails or is removed, as long as external power is connected, the system continues operating. When the external power is lost, the system automatically switches to battery power without disruption. You can monitor the battery’s status, including voltage, current, power, and remaining capacity, via I2C.
