WHAT TYPES OF BATTERIES ARE IN MY
RECONROBOTICS EQUIPMENT? ARE THERE ANY
SPECIAL SHIPPING CONCERNS?
ReconRobotics uses Lithium Polymer battery packs in
the Throwbot 2 robot and OCU. These packs have been
tested to meet the UN/DOT 38.3 shipping requirements.
Please contact [e-mail] if you need
more information.
I’VE BEEN USING THE OCU FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF TIME. NOW THE SCREEN IS BLACK WHEN
I POWER ON, AND I CANNOT CONTROL THE ROBOT.
The battery is likely drained, you will need to recharge the
OCU as described in the "Instructions for Use: Chargers”
section (page 13).
I’VE BEEN USING THE ROBOT AND NOTICED A RED
THERMOMETER APPEARS IN THE CORNER OF THE
VIDEO. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
For safety purposes, there are thermal protections in the
robot’s batteries to protect against overheating. To warn
the user that the batteries are getting too warm, the high
temperature icon will be displayed in the upper left corner.
When the icon is displayed, reducing motor
usage (speed or climbing), avoiding areas
requiring IR, and moving the robot out of
direct sunlight will help cool the robot.
This icon will remain visible until the batteries have a
chance to cool down. It is still safe to operate the robot
while this icon is visible, however, extended operation
when this icon is visible may result in the robot shutting
down suddenly if the batteries get too warm.
