Husky Battery Swap #13

Open willward20 opened 1 year ago

willward20 commented 1 year ago

Is there any way to easily access the LiFePO4 battery to swap it out? Or is this unfeasible, like with the Jackal batteries? Additionally, is it safe to charge the battery while it is inside?

There is not an easy way to swap the battery. We will probably need to modify the internal hardware like we plan to do with the Jackals so that the battery is accessible.

Note that the LiFePO4 battery is located underneath the white "bottom plate" that the IMU is attached to. The battery is located at approximately the center of the robot.
