Re: Connecting battery & charger to PD board
were not driving the bot. it is basically a static display. it is going to be roped off at the school running a loop that simply tilts the climbing arms (pneumatically) dwells, extends arms (CIM not under load) dwells, extends and dumps our disc bucket (pneumatically), etc. then dwells for about 5 minutes before it repeats again.

we may program a sensor to activate the loop when someone walks by. so there should be plenty of time to keep the battery charged all day. then fully charged when we turn it off after school.

we just didn't know about the 16.1 volts possibly being an issue when the spec's for the Power distribution Board indicates 15V max.
