INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: CHARGING
ROBOT CHARGING
Your kit includes two chargers, one for the OCU and one for the robot.
The robot uses USB Type C connectivity for recharging.
This enables it to charge from a variety of USB-based power sources. Charge rates will vary based upon the charging source
and cable used. For maximum charge rates, use a USB Type C charger that supports Power Delivery 2.0 (or higher) capable of
providing at least 9V @ 2A. The included charger and cable are rated for this. The Throwbot 2 robot does not support other
charging systems like Quick-Charge.
There is a charge indicator located on the front face of the robot which is used to display the robot’s state of charge. When
charging with the robot off, the background will flash. When the robot is operational and charging, the charge indicator will
have a solid black background. When the robot is operational, the state of charge is also visible as an icon located in the lower
left hand corner of the video stream. The table below outlines the current state of charge for the robot.
NOTE: Some generic chargers
and cables advertise more
capability than they actually
provide. This could result in
damage to your equipment. If
you have questions about chargers
and charge cables, please contact
[email protected] for
a list of tested and approved
chargers and cables or to purchase
one from ReconRobotics.
