Robot batteries are not just runtime numbers.

Robot batteries are not just runtime numbers. Motors draw high bursts, controllers need clean voltage and chargers need the right chemistry. A good pack has enough current headroom and a safe cutoff path.

For beginners, enclosed packs are safer than loose cells.

For beginners, enclosed packs are safer than loose cells. For bigger robots, use a BMS, fuse and proper connectors.

FAQ

Li-ion or LiPo?

Li-ion is often better for runtime and convenience; LiPo is useful for high current.

Why use a fuse?

A battery short can deliver dangerous current. A fuse is cheap protection.

Can logic and motors share a battery?

Yes, but use proper regulators and wiring separation.
