is the lithium battery. These batteries are installed when the robot is shipped from the factory, but as these are
consumable parts, they must be replaced periodically by the customer.
The guideline for replacing the battery is one year, but this will differ according to the robot's usage state. There
exists the kinds of the errors about the battery shown in
