Re: On-Board Battery Charger

Bomber,

Please do a search on this subject. You will find a number of threads dedicated to this subject.

<R56> requires that you use the IFI design if you charge the backup battery on the robot. While the IFI design states that IFI does not support this design.

Many degreed engineers have reviewed this circuit and quite a few of us have reservations about it.

Unless you know what you are doing, I would suggest sticking to off-robot charging.

JMHO.

Mike
