Only long enough to try to connect to ARC. We had connection issues and the low battery warning came on. When we tried to charge the battery is when we ran in to the issue. Good news is we were able to connect to do the diagnostic.

wait 30 min befote charging and wait 30 min after charging. this is for cooling the batt.

Yes, I did that also. Battery was never warm. Didn't get used for more than a few minutes.

Wesley where in Niagara Falls are you? I'm in wheatfield back behind summit mall . I do not use those batteries so I can't help with that but may be able to help in the future! Chris

The message is of urgency to ensure customers charge the battery before using. It is repeated throughout the software, and tutorials in large red lettering before the building process. If you fail to charge the battery, this is the result. Someone from customer support will get back to you in the next day or two as the office is closed over the holidays.

Unfortunately there is nothing more that can be done until the battery is replaced.

Ok maybe this is similar to issue I am having with battery for brand new Six. Got it out of box. Went to charge it and lights blinked all 3 red. Went back read instructions again. Never could get the charger to do anything but make blinking red. Even tried my exact same charger for adventure bot...it blinked red. Just got out of box and my 7 year old already sad it isn't charging.

@Future, are you saying you tried the same charger on Adventurebot and it still blinked, or you tried Adventurebot's charger and it still blinked (ie, is it a battery or charger issue).

Since your Adventurebot is down with a bad wheel, you could use his body for the Six (or just his battery, but probably easier to swap the wheels for legs than opening them both up to swap batteries).

That is our plan. Have to have one of them up and running. Just can't explain to a 7 year old why his Six didn't work right out of the box. He was bummed. He had some major anxiety when he realized it wasn't charging. He knew the red lights weren't good and he immediately had me unplug it all. Want both up and going since he got a whole bunch of extra parts for Christmas and wanted him to start to modify Adventure Bot but now with the wheel down and $20 just to have a replacement shipped it will have to go on the back burner. Just hoping that we get all the "kinks" out now because we aren't going to be able to keep buying replacement parts all the time. Just frustrating, trying to encourage his love of robots but not have to replace things all the time. It will all work out. He has a ton of "projects" from Christmas. Just hate having his favorites "down"
