Robot Battery Charger
The charger supplied with the robot is designed to both recharge your battery, and extend your
battery’s life. It produces 12 Volts DC at a full 6/3 Amps. It will charge the battery in about 8-12
hours depending on how long you have used the robot. After the battery is charged, the green
LED will come on and the battery is ready to use. At this point the charger is charging at a
FLOAT or maintenance rate. At this rate you can leave the charger connected for extended
periods of time.
Robots with recharge jack:
Certain robots have a recharge jack on the body for recharging. If
your robot does, then the on-off switch will have a recharge position also.
