Build an autonomous Wall-E Robot

Step 11: Battery.. POWER!

Because my wall-e does have 6 servos and a microcontroller, his power consumption is high.

Due to size constraints, i was limited to a small battery.

My choise was a 2000mha LION 7.4v cell. LION batteries don't like to be drained, so be prepared for a low life expentency.

The 2000mhz battery gives my wall-e about 60 minutes of life between charges.

You can purcahse your battery at any Battery Depot or similar outlet.

is there some way to get it to have more batterie life?

With all the space available inside, why didnt you go for a bigger battery, or would this strain the drive train too much?

it's a 2400 mha 7.2v battery. runs for hours. it's lithium-ion.
there is absolutely zero space available. the tiny battery barely fits. there are multiple size toys, and the most common is the remote control wall-e (which this is not). check my youtube channel www.youtube.com/aliencurv for a video of my larger wall-e
