Lipo problem

Lynxmotion Rovers, Sumo, and Tracked
1

Hi,

My rover board is working fine with AA batteries (no jumper) but when I tried
using the Lipo (with jumper) it didn’t have enough power to light any leds
even after 5.5 hours of charging.

On closer inspection, I noticed that the positive/negative leads are different
for the AA pack and the Lipo (assuming red/black has been used correctly).

The attached picture shows the Lipo connector.

Is this wrong? If so, am I likely to have killed the Lipo and/or the charging circuitry?

Appreciate any help,
Mark.

For future documentation,

is this a problem with all the units shipped?

We are looking into the issue with the LiPo batteries now. We will not ship you the same unit.
