Rechargeable Battery for Raspberry Pi 5 Clock Module RTC Backup Power Supply

When the Raspberry Pi 5 loses power, the system clock resets, leading to time and date errors on every reboot. This rechargeable battery module solves that problem by keeping the real-time clock (RTC) running during shutdown. It is a small, essential accessory for any Raspberry Pi 5 used in servers, home automation, or headless projects where accurate time logging is important. The battery is designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5 generation clock module and comes as a single unit in black.

Features and Construction

This battery is built to fit the Raspberry Pi 5 clock module holder, providing backup power for the RTC. It is a rechargeable cell, meaning it can be reused multiple times without replacement.

Material and Build

The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion cell. The casing is black and designed for direct insertion into the battery holder on the Raspberry Pi 5 clock module. No wiring or soldering is needed for installation.

Size and Practical Fit

The battery is sized to match the Raspberry Pi 5 clock module battery holder. Specific dimensions are not provided in the source text, but it is a standard fit for this generation of Pi.

Uses and Placement

This battery is intended for use with the Raspberry Pi 5 clock module. It maintains the RTC settings during power-off, ensuring correct time and date upon restart.

Event or Professional Use

In commercial or project environments where power interruptions occur, this battery prevents time drift. It is useful for data logging systems, network time protocol servers, or any application requiring accurate timestamps after reboot.

Everyday Home Use

For hobbyists and home users, the battery solves the common issue of the Pi losing time after being unplugged. It keeps the clock accurate for daily use, media centres, or smart home hubs.

Benefits and Buying Value

This rechargeable battery offers a simple solution to a persistent problem. It reduces the need to manually set the clock after each power cycle.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Because the battery is rechargeable, it does not need frequent replacement. It recharges automatically when the Raspberry Pi 5 is powered on and holds its charge during off periods.

Why Choose This Product

The battery is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi 5 generation clock module. It comes as a single pack, ensuring compatibility and ease of use. The black colour matches standard Pi accessories.
