### AI overview

Geekworm and Mcuzone have introduced the UPS Scap 5V5A, a supercapacitor UPS HAT for Raspberry Pi 5 that supplies enough backup power for a short period to save data and shut down safely. It offers 100F, 60F, and 22F versions, power-loss detection and I2C monitoring, with reference scripts for automatic shutdown and recovery. The 100F model is reported to run for about nine seconds at 5V/5A or up to 3.5 minutes at 0.5A in Long Endurance Mode.

### Source excerpt

Geekworm, in collaboration with Mcuzone, has launched the UPS Scap 5V5A, a new supercapacitor UPS HAT for the Raspberry Pi 5 designed to keep the Raspberry Pi running long enough (a few seconds to a few minutes) to save data and shut down safely, rather than provide hours of backup power. Available in 100F, 60F, and 22F versions, the HAT has a built-in PD chip that negotiates a true 5V/5A output. This gives the Raspberry Pi 5 enough power to run properly without triggering the low-voltage warnings that can happen with some power supplies. The module connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 through pogo pins to detect power loss and supports I2C for checking voltage and current in real time. It also features dual independent power inputs, so you can power it with either a wide-voltage DC barrel jack or a standard USB-C PD charger.
