Charging the batteries in ROSbot

The ROSbot 2.0 kit contains the Redox Beta charger. It is an universal charger, suitable for

charging NiCd, NiMH, Li-Po, Li-Fe, Li-Ion and Pb (AGM, VRLA) batteries.

Charger kit includes:

- Redox Beta charger

- AC/DC power adapter 100...240V to 12V 5A with 5.5/2.5mm plug on the 12V side

- cable to connect charger with ROSbot charging port

Due to the fact that ROSbot is powered from only one type of batteries (Li-Ion), this short

manual will contain only the information needed to charge Li-Ion batteries.

Quick start charging guide 1. Connect the power adapter to the charger and the output cable between charger and ROSbot (2 connectors on charger side, 1 black connector to ROSbot charging port). 2. Use red and blue buttons to select “LiPo BATT” mode and press green [Start] button. 3. Use arrows to select “LiPo CHARGE” mode. 4. Press [Start] - the current value should start blinking. Use arrows to set the current to 1.5A. 5. Press [Start] again - the voltage value should start blinking. Select “11.

The BAT+ and BAT- are the power connections and the “bal Bxx” wires are used to monitor the voltage on each cell. It is strongly recommended to keep equal voltages on each cell during the charging process. The charger included with ROSbot can charge batteries in the described way and, thanks to that, the long life of the battery set is possible. The nominal voltage of each cell is 3.7V but the useful range is 3.2V to 4.2V, so the total voltage that supplies all ROSbot components is three times greater: 9.

Redox BETA – short user manual Li-Po/Li-Ion charge/discharge modes Use [Batt. Type/Stop] and [Dec] buttons to select “LiPo BATT” mode and press [Start]. Then use arrows to choose between charging/discharging modes for Li-Po or Li-Ion batteries. LiPo CHARGE In this mode batteries are charged in optimal way. The battery is charged to the maximum capacity.
