Re: Large Backup Battery

The answer would be no, the backup battery charger wouldn't supply current to the robot in brownout. The RC goes to sleep when the main input falls below 8 volts for a period of time. 7.2 volts isn't enough to wake it up.

As to my other post...There is no substitute for having a second, fully charged backup battery to put on the robot before sending it out.
