The Panasonic ML-2020 lithium manganese dioxide battery is a crucial component for the Raspberry Pi 5, designed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. This button cell battery is specifically tailored to work seamlessly with the Raspberry Pi 5's power-management integrated circuit (IC), which includes a real-time clock and charging circuitry. When the main power to the Raspberry Pi 5 is disconnected, this battery steps in to power the clock, ensuring timekeeping accuracy is maintained.
What sets the Panasonic ML-2020 apart is its thoughtful design and ease of installation. It comes with a two-pin plug, allowing for direct connection to the Raspberry Pi 5's battery connector. You can conveniently attach it to the inside of the Raspberry Pi case or any other suitable location. This ensures that your Raspberry Pi 5 maintains accurate timekeeping, even in the absence of main power, without compromising on the compactness and organization of your setup.
