Internal battery
Origin One internal battery and charger
The Origin One is designed to be powered by an internal non-swappable Li-Ion battery-pack with a 12S3P configuration with a maximum capacity of 650 Wh. The battery-pack contains a battery management system (BMS) that prevents against over (dis-)charging, over current, short-circuit, and over/under temperature. Furthermore, it performs passive balancing when approaching 100% state of charge.
The Origin One can be easily charged using the supplied proprietary Origin One Charger and by executing the following procedure.
- Check if the voltage supply switch on the charger is set correctly to your local mains supply conformal to the charger, either 110 VAC or 220 VAC (includes 230 VAC).
- Plug the AC power cord into a wall socket, the LED on the charger will blink GREEN to confirm AC power on.
- Remove the charger port protective cap.
- Plug the DC charger cable into the robot's charger port.
- Origin One automatically starts charging:
- LED blinking RED confirms charging
- LED solid GREEN confirms battery is fully charged
- If the robot is powered, the display will indicate the current state of charge (SoC)
- Before driving the Origin One, remove the charger cable and plug in the charger port protective cap.
Info
The battery can only be charged at a maximum temperature of 45C +- 3C. If you the battery is empty and seems like it doesn't charge, then wait until the system has cooled down sufficiently. Charger operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C
Danger
The Origin One Charger is not IP-rated and is therefore not intended for outdoor use. Therefore, charge the robot in a sheltered or indoor environment.
