The TS-BAT10 is a PC/104 daughter card (standard format) which provides 5V of regulated DC voltage to the PC/104 bus, acting as a back-up power supply. It is compatible with any PC/104 main board. The two Lithium Polymer batteries provide up to 2A at 5V.

The TS-BAT10 acts as an embedded UPS (uninterruptible power supply). In the event of an external power interruption, the TS-BAT10 will allow for an elegant software shutdown, seamlessly switching to battery power with no interruptions in 5V power, preventing the filesystem corruption that often results from unexpected power loss. A flash sector that loses power in the middle of a write operation can be lost forever. The TS-BAT10 keeps flash chips or SD cards from developing bad blocks by providing back up power so that flash write operations always have time to complete.

The TS-BAT10 is also ideally suited for applications far from an external power source. The TS-BAT10, using sleep modes combined with the TS-8160, can run an embedded system for days in the field. This combination is excellent for solar-powered solutions.

The TS-BAT10 presents an extremely simple register interface to the host SBC. Sample code is available that demonstrates charging management strategies.
