RPi model 3b reboots instead of shutdown

[supertp]

Hello
I have a Pi 3 model B.
I've read (almost) all topics regarding the ways to properly shutdown a ràspberry.

Nevertheless, is it normal that the RPI reboots instead of being shutdown/halted?

I want to completely power of of without damaging the SD card.

The RPI runs in headless mode and I connect to it over ssh. Should I just plug it off after the sudo shutdown -P now and once the green led stops blinking?
Is it normal that the RPI restarts instead of shutting down?

I usually use

Code: Select all

sudo shutdown -h now

then wait until after the green ACTivity led has flashed 10 times and gone and then remove power by switching off at the AC supply end. Repeated "pulling out the uUSB plug" may result (have resulted) in poor connectivity / mechanical play leading to a power off/on spike that might trigger a reboot. What are you using as a power supply?
Trev.

I am using a 13.8VDC with 12V outputs.
It is also used for charging a 12V battery (use when 220V AC become unavailable)
The RPI is powered by a 12V to 5V converter.

I've been using this type of powering for more than a year now and the RPI runs 24/7.

But I need to shut it down to rest a bit (and take a SD card backup)
