Battery safety measures 

  • Only charge the battery with the supplied charger. The charger must be connected to 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
  • The battery must not be charged while it is connected to the robot.
  • The battery must only be charged indoors at normal room temperature, and it should always be supervised while recharging.
  • Do not charge the battery unattended or overnight.
  • Do not charge batteries that have been exposed to blows or other forms of external damage. There is a risk that the battery could explode if this safety measure is not respected.
  • The battery must always be fully charged when stored. The battery must be recharged every month if stored for a longer period.
  • Always use chargers, cables and batteries approved by TinyMobileRobots when charging the robot battery and tablet. Unapproved chargers may cause the battery to explode or damage the devices.
  • Make sure the battery rack is cleared, i.e. no dirt or objects are blocking inside the rack.
  • If the battery is not pushed sufficiently into the battery rack, the key cannot lock the battery correctly.
