Review: A great way to build low-profile portable Raspberry Pi devices - This little board opens up new vistas for portable Raspberry Pi 5 devices. I used mine to create a high performance VPN travel router by adding an M.2 E Key HAT to the Pi and a couple of external antennas. I used the Geekworm X1201 metal enclosure for this form factor. However, I did have to make a couple of extra holes in the case for the antennas. Being battery-powered, the device can be used to give you and your companions secure wifi in coffee shops, or while travelling, or in outdoor locations or anywhere a power source isn't easily available. With two 3300mAh rechargeable batteries, the board delivers around 4 hours of use in this particular use case. Although it powers the Pi and its M.2 HAT successfully, it's a little limited in terms of its ability to power external devices though. ## Features - Compatibility: Low-profile compact Pi 5 UPS compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 16GB/8GB/4GB/2GB SBC; Model: X1201; Matching metal case is X1201-C1 - Function: X1201 provides max 5.1V 5000mA Power Backup, intelligent and safe power management like auto power on, safe shutdown, full power-off from software, power loss and power adapter failure detection - How to Power: Power via X1201 USB-C port: 5Vdc 5A via USB Type-C; Do not apply power to Raspberry Pi 5 via the Type-C USB socket - User Manual and Low Voltage Warning Solution: Google Geekworm Wiki and search X1201; Refer to the software guide on X1201 WiKi to Edit the EEPROM configuration to solve the Low Voltage Warning issue - Versatile and Ultra-thin Design: X1201 is designed to be attached on bottom, and expand the battery holders horizontally, which is ultra-thin and enabling easy stacking with other Raspberry Pi 5 accessory boards for enhanced applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CRYXZV23 | | Amperage | 5 Amps | | Battery Cell Composition | Lithium Ion | | Battery Cell Type | Lithium Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #168 in Computer Uninterruptible Power Supply Units | | Brand | Geekworm | | Built-In Media | 1x X1201 5V UPS Shield with accessories | | Color | black | | Connector Type | USB Type-C, 18650 battery, 5V Power output, External power button | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 18 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Form Factor | Rack | | Item Dimensions | 4.13 x 3.35 x 0.59 inches | | Item Weight | 69 Grams | | Manufacturer | Geekworm | | Material | Plastic | | Maximum Power | 25 Watts | | Mfr Part Number | TB-2024-03 | | Model Number | X1201 | | Number of Outlets | 1 | | Output Current | 5 Amps | | Output Voltage | 5.1 Volts (DC) | | Output Wattage | 25 Watts | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Runtime | 8 hours and 30 minutes | | Voltage | 5 Volts | | Warranty Description | 3 months | | Wattage | 25 watts | ## Product Details - **Battery Cell Composition:** Lithium Ion - **Brand:** Geekworm - **Color:** black - **Material:** Plastic - **Voltage:** 5 Volts ## Images ![X1201 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XU5vl8GeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #1 X1201 for style & low profile *by S***. on March 23, 2026* As a Raspberry Pi enthusiast.

I used mine to create a high performance VPN travel router by adding an M.2 E Key HAT to the Pi and a couple of external antennas. I used the Geekworm X1201 metal enclosure for this form factor.

Below are the issues I ran into and how I fixed them. Knocking off a star for that. (Hopfully they will update the instructions soon) I used sudo apt-get install for a couple additional dependencies during step 2.1. "sudo apt-get install i2c-tools" "sudo apt-get install python3-smbus" The reason for I2c-tools is I wasn't able to use i2cdetect in section 2.9. I needed to have i2ctools to do so. The reason for python3-smbus is I got an error in 3.1 saying no module named smbus. By installing python3-smbus the script ran correctly. In section 3.1 I used the command: "cd x120x" prior to running python3.bat.py. The reason is the scripts I downloaded earlier in section 2.7 are in the the folder "x120x" rather than the default folder I was in after rebooting in step 2.8. Otherwise everything seems to be working great. ## Frequently Bought Together - Geekworm X1201 Ultra-Thin 5V UPS Shield for Raspberry Pi 5 |Max 5.1V 5A Output| Auto Power On|Safe Shutdown|Power Loss Detection - Geekworm X1201-C1 Metal Case for Raspberry Pi 5 & X1201 UPS & Active Cooler & X1000/X1001/X1003/X1004/M901 PCIe Top - Geekworm Active Cooler H505 for Raspberry Pi 5, Aluminum Heatsink with Blower PWM Fan --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/601528538-x1201](https://www.desertcart.in/products/601528538-x1201) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
