The Self-Balancing Robot is powered by three lithium
batteries, when the power is less than 10V, the LED4 on
the DE10-Nano board will light up, that indicates the
batteries need to be recharged.
Please use the lithium battery charger (that is shipped with
the robot) to charge the battery. During the charging, the
LED on the lithium battery charger will light red; once it is
fully be charged, the LED will light green. If lithium battery
starts charging when it is completely unable to supply the robot, it is expected to
take up to 2 hours to fully be charged.
