Battery

You might say: power pack

A robot battery stores electrical energy and includes protection and monitoring. Lithium packs are common in mobile robots.

What it does
It sets available runtime, current and peak power.
Ask
How much usable energy remains at the real duty cycle, temperature and aging state?
Typical
Clearpath Jackal uses a 270 Wh lithium battery and states operating times for basic and heavy use. Runtime is approximately usable Wh divided by average W, after conversion and reserve losses.
Trouble
Voltage sag, low state of charge, thermal derating or a tripped protection circuit causes brownouts, reduced motor torque or shutdown.

What to look for

  1. Battery pack with protection and monitoring
  2. Usable energy or charge reading
  3. Voltage sag or reduced motor torque
  4. Brownout or shutdown
