PiModules has come up with a new add-on board for the Pi – the Uninterruptable Power Intelligent Supply (UPiS). From their information:
The UPiS Module is an advanced powering module that powers your Raspberry PI with Uninterrupted Power intelligent Supply. It is equipped with LIPO battery 1200/2600 mAh as also with buck/boost switching power converter. There is no need for any additional cabling, as a smart measure system is continuously checking powering voltage and consumed current, and when the cable power is absent, automatically switches to the battery source.
During battery powering process it is still automatically checking power consumption and when cable power is available again, it switches off automatically the battery source
Okay, slightly odd use of the English language (they might even be a Greek company, which would explain it) but it sounds like an interesting board. Price has yet to be set and launch of the product has been stated to be mid-June, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

That’s really nice,any idea on price?
Nope. They’re sending me one to review, so I’ll get more details shortly.
Nice, but really unfortunate choice of name. Pronounced “you —-” I’m in France at the moment. Reminds me why the Toyota MR2 (EM ERR DEUX) didn’t do well over here. You could even say it’s a UPis poor name, but I should really stop taking the UPiS.
