Does anyone know where I can get some 12V rechargeble batteries for robots, I wanted about 2 or 3 for a robot that I plan to build. I would prefer them to be LiPo over the big bulky black ones but I will take what I can get.
I will post what I have later on today when I get home.
LiFePo4 batteries
Currently (pun fully intended) I’m using two LiFePo4 batteries for robotics: one is a 12v (12.6 nominal) 10 amp-hr, and the other is a monster of 24v 100 amp-hr.
They are larger than LiPo batteries, but they don’t tend to explode. They are lighter than SLA batteries, though.
I got mine through batteryspace.com. They are more expensive than SLAs, but they last a lot longer and have a fairly flat discharge curve. Hopefully the price will come down in time.
