Hello.
Sorry for my english, i live in russia, but i hope you would understand me.
I want to buy a robot and I have a some questions about Robobuilder RQ-Huno:
1) If I want to use RQ-Huno more than one hour, can i replace battery for another? For example my battery is low, and i take off it, and insert а new fully charged battery? It's easy?
2) Where I can buy replacement battery? Or what the name of accumulator I need ? (I mean: type, mark, voltage and other....)
3) Can I charge my batteries without Robobuilder. I mean external charging device?
Thanks for understanding.

Hi
It should be possible to replace the RQ-HUNO Battery. However at the moment we don't have them available for sale separately yet.
Regarding external charging, to charge the battery you need the small board that's installed on the Robot (the power management board).
However this board my be removed and you may be able to connect the battery directly to the controller.
This way the Power board can be sued separate from the Robot to charge a new battery.
I don't have the battery specifications but it appears to be a 3 cell LiIon or LiPo. You will just need to crimp the correct connector.
Having said this, you can always run your robot using he power adapter (ie keep it connected directly to the electricity) this gives you unlimited run time but has the limitation of range: the robot can only go as far as the lead (wire) reaches.
Regards
Pedro.
