Connecting battery & charger to PD board
My question relates to connecting a "Y" cable to our robot so we can have a battery and charger connected at the same time. we checked the voltage with the charger and battery connected together and just before the charger turned off the voltage went as high as 16.1V. The data for the PD board states "15V max." would the 16.1V damage any components on our robot?

Reference: we are going to have the robot in the hall at school running basic movements throughout the day and want to keep the charger connected for obvious reasons.
