Battery
The battery is an 11V 2.2 Ah 3-cell Lipo. Its power consumption (when not moving) is 0.3-0.5A, so it can sustain about 4 hours of use.
Robobot will cut power when the battery voltage is below 10V to protect the battery.
The Battery is (probably) charged to storage level (~40% of full capacity), so start by charging it.
Power supply
A 230V power supply, which supplies 15V and 6A, is available and intended for use during development.
Raspberry Pi shutdown
The Raspberry Pi should preferably be shut down before cutting the power.
Use the command
sudo shutdown now
Then, wait about 10 seconds before cutting the power.
This will ensure that all open files are closed properly and that the system date and time are stored for the next boot.
