Last week I upgraded ny Bioloid to an interchangeable Lipo pack. (i.e. I can quickly swap Lipo Pacs or even use a the old Robotis battery pack).

It is a fabulous upgrade since it now means that I can use the Robot for about 30 minutes (intensive use) on a single battery.

Highly recommended upgrade.

It was a bit of a hack (not an off the shelf solution). It involved a little sodlering and the of drilling one hole in the CM5. Very easy to do, and well worth the effort.

I am very pleased with the result. I will write a quick turorial/instructions on the Robosavvy/Bioloid Wiki (sometime next week).
