Integrates seamlessly with Raspberry Pi models 2 to 5
Consolidates essential features for robotics applications
Includes a 5.1V/3.5A high-efficiency power supply
Ensures reliable performance with ESD and reverse protection
Supports wide input voltage range suitable for 6S Lithium batteries
The Rpanion Pi Connect Lite V2 is a power supply HAT designed for seamless integration with Raspberry Pi and compatibility with ArduPilot and PX4 flight controllers, specifically tailored for robotics applications. This compact board consolidates essential features, including a 5.1V/3.5A low noise power supply, telemetry ports for flight controller connectivity, and a power button for safe shutdown of the Raspberry Pi, which requires software configuration.
It adheres to the Raspberry Pi HAT specification and is compatible with models 2, 3, 4, 5 Zero, and Zero2. The board is equipped with a high-efficiency power supply, reverse input protection, and ESD protection, ensuring reliable performance. It features an XT30 power connector and supports a wide input voltage range of 7 to 30V, suitable for a 6S Lithium battery.
The design includes overcurrent and short circuit protection, low EMI and EMC, and an additional UART for Pi 4 and 5. The telemetry ports use a JST-GH 6-pin DroneCode standard connector, facilitating easy connection to flight controllers. The major updates from the previous version include a change to the XT30 power connector, a power button for improved functionality, reduced EMI/EMC, and an additional JST-GH telemetry port.

Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
