Re: [E-puck-user] E-puck battery problem

2011-03-11 Thread Gilles Caprari

Hi Duarte,
nice testing of the battery ;-)
you where probably a bit unlucky as in your case only the battery should 
have suffered.
However it probably caused some voltage spike that damaged the 
protection circuit of the e-puck.

or maybe just the contact that got oxydated by the high current.
well, difficult to say.
you could test to power the e-puck externally and measure the current.
Or you could send it back for check and repair.

regards,
gilles

Hello,
I once inserted the battery into the e-puck and, by mistake, had the 
protection of the positive side of the battery removed, thus causing a 
short circuit in the battery (this was expirienced by a suddenly 
change of the battery's temperature).
After this the e-puck doesn't work anymore. I switched the batteries 
and still not working (the batteries were fully recharged). What 
happened to the e-puck? How can I fix it?

Could anyone help me?

Duarte
