How do I use the onboard LiPo charger?

I see in the manual that there’s an onboard LiPo charger - how is this used? Do I just leave the LiPo battery connected in and plug power into the USB?

How can I tell that the battery is fully charged?

I have V2.0 of the kit.

Hi Jeff,

Do you have the product code / link so we can help you out ?

It’s the basic DFRobotShop Rover, same as this section of the forum:

Hi Jeff,

Sorry about that, most of the people do not list their topic in the right category.
To allow LiPo charging you just need to leave the jumper on the PCB (Li_SEL).

From the DFRobotShop Rover User Manual:

7V LiPo battery charging circuit. Important note: jumper should only be in place when using a LiPo
battery connected to (38) otherwise remove. Do NOT use jumper if you are using the 4xAA pack.

We hope this help,
