Alkaline Battery Pack
The included alkaline battery pack requires 12 non-rechargeable “AA”
batteries to power iRobot Create. iRobot Create’s low-voltage shutoff is
designed for alkaline batteries only; rechargeable batteries can be deeply
discharged and damaged if they are used in the alkaline battery pack. iRobot
Create does not attempt to charge batteries in the alkaline battery pack.
Alkaline batteries will power the robot (on a hard floor with no payloads or
attachments) for up to 1.5 hours if the robot is constantly moving. If you
plan to have your robot moving continuously, iRobot recommends that you
purchase a rechargeable battery pack at www.irobot.com.
using the Alkaline Battery Pack
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the four screws on the underside
of the green Alkaline Battery Pack. The screws will not come all the way out
of the doors. Slide the doors up and out of the batter y case. Inser t six
non-rechargeable alkaline “AA” batteries into each side of the battery case
and then slide the doors back on. Tighten the screws.
Insert the battery case into iRobot Create’s Battery Well, pushing until it
clicks into place.
note:
The Alkaline Battery Pack is not recommended for use in iRobot Roomba
