Power off in 5 minutes

Lynxmotion Legged Robots

Good night, have a little problem …
My Ch3-r lasts less than 5 minutes and not get up standing alone!
I have a 6v battery to 1600mAh which are not official Lynxomotion. : (

What type of batteries recommended for Ch3-R and that rises standing alone?

Solar energy would be a great idea! : P

Thanks

I use a 5cell NiMH 4600mAH Batterypack for the servos and 2x 9V Block Battery 300mAH for the Logic. The robot runs 45 Minutes with this configuration dependent on the operating grade.

It should last more than 5 minutes. Are the SSC-32 and bot Board both powered from the same battery? If so, you need to change this. Power the SSC-32 with the 6v pack and the bot board with a 9v battery. This will keep the bot board from resetting when the servos draw power. Another thing you should check is the type of wiring you are using. If you are using a battery tray with those super thin wires, you need to throw it in the trash can and use heavier gauge wires. Using heavier guage wires will help carry the current needed to supply the servos with a nice steady flow of juice. The thin wires is like trying to drink a chocolate shake using a coffee straw!

Here is an example of using separate power sources as I mentioned:

if buy more battery 6.0vdc 1600mAh NiMH Battery Pack for giving power in VS2?

Example: 6v in vs1 and more 6v in VS2, but without the jumper?

Is it possible?

Thanks!

You can power the servos from two separate sources 2x 6V battery pack for example. But you have to remove the jumper VS1=VS2. For a better power management use a separate 9V block battery for the logic.
