danger

Do not charge standard battery pack with 5 A charger from the high capacity battery addon.

It can lead to overheating, damage to the battery pack and it may pose safety hazards. Use only the provided 2 A charger for standard battery pack.

Mounting the battery

Maintenance and safety

  • Do not disassemble the battery pack. It contains high voltage components that can cause electric shock or fire.
  • Do not expose unmounted battery pack to water or moisture. When disconnected from the robot, the battery pack is not waterproof and can be damaged by water and other liquids.
  • Do not expose the battery pack to high temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight. The battery pack can be damaged by heat and may pose a fire hazard.
  • Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving it near heat sources.
  • Do not short-circuit the battery pack. Avoid contact between the positive and negative terminals of the battery pack, as it can cause a short circuit and damage the battery or cause safety hazards.
  • Do not puncture or crush the battery pack. Avoid dropping or applying excessive force to the battery pack, as it can cause internal damage and pose safety hazards.
  • Avoid deep discharge of the battery pack as it will reduce its lifespan. It is recommended to recharge the battery pack when the voltage drops below 10 V.
  • Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged, swollen, or leaking. If you notice any signs of damage, stop using the battery pack immediately and contact Fictionlab for support.
