I can tell you that the LED light that tells you if your battery is low is not really to be trusted. It turns on when the battery drops to a certain voltage and it doesn't matter if it stays there or not. Our robot you can drive for 30 sec. and the light will come on if you gas it full forward quickly. The thing to keep your eye on is the actual voltage on the control system display.
