Description

Product Description

The Lithium-ion Battery (14.8V, 18Ah) is a high capacity custom battery pack made from high quality 18650 lithium-ion cells designed for use in the BlueROV2, BlueBoat, and fits perfectly inside a 3″ Watertight Enclosure. This 4S (14.8V) battery has a nominal capacity of 18.0Ah, plenty for up to 4 hours of continuous moderate use on the BlueROV2. The lithium-ion cells the battery is comprised of have excellent performance characteristics, as well as a high tolerance for accidental mishandling. The battery is CE (Conformité Européenne) approved, ROHS compliant, and UN38.3 certified. Certificates can be provided upon request.

Safety

Lithium-ion batteries are dangerous when not used properly. Improper operation and maintenance can also severely shorten battery lifespan. Please read and understand all the information in the Blue Robotics Lithium-ion Battery Guide to ensure you are using Blue Robotics batteries safely and getting the best performance out of your batteries.

Only use battery chargers designed specifically for lithium-ion/polymer batteries.
Do not charge a battery above its maximum voltage. This will lead to battery explosion.
Do not discharge the battery below its minimum voltage. This kills the battery.
Do not exceed the maximum charge or discharge rate. This will damage the battery.
Do not get the batteries wet. A wet battery may short or will eventually corrode and fail.
Do not puncture, crush, cut, or disassemble the batteries.
Do not burn or expose batteries to temperatures above 50°C (122°F).

We are unable to ensure that users follow correct battery charging, operating, and maintenance instructions. For this reason, Blue Robotics cannot be held liable for any loss, damage, or costs which are incurred as a result of incorrect operation of our products.
