Fitting Alternative Battery For Robots

I have a question regarding batteries for my JD Humanoid or AdventureBot, which typically uses a LiPo 1300mAh 2S 25C battery with dimensions of 70x35x10 mm. I found an alternative battery online that appears similar: a LiPo 1300mAh 2S 30C with dimensions of 70x34x14 mm.

My question is, would this alternative battery fit in EZ-Robot products? Here is the link to the battery I am considering: 7.4V 1300mAh 30C LiPo with T Plug.

I would appreciate any guidance or advice from the community.

Hi there!

Based on your description, you’re comparing the recommended battery for the AdventureBot/JD Humanoid-a LiPo 1300mAh 2S 25C with dimensions 70 x 35 x 10 mm-to an alternative LiPo 1300mAh 2S 30C that’s 70 x 34 x 14 mm.

Here are a few points to consider:

  1. Physical Fit:
    The alternative battery is 4 mm thicker (14 mm vs. 10 mm) while the other dimensions are very similar. This extra thickness may cause a fitment issue if the battery compartment was specifically designed for a 10 mm thick battery. I recommend measuring your AdventureBot’s battery bay (or checking the manual if available) to ensure there’s enough clearance. Even a couple of millimeters difference can be critical in tightly designed compartments.

  2. Connector Compatibility:
    Check if the alternative battery’s T-Plug connector matches the battery connector used on your AdventureBot. Sometimes, even slight differences in the plug type or wiring configuration can require an adapter or additional modification.

  3. Performance and Ratings:
    The alternative battery has a 30C discharge rating instead of 25C, which means it can deliver a higher current if needed. This is generally a good thing-as long as the robot’s electronics and servos can handle the potentially higher peak currents without issues. The 1300mAh capacity remains the same, so runtime should not be affected.

  4. Mounting and Securing:
    Consider if the mounting points or brackets in your robot are adjustable. If the battery is a bit thicker, you might need to make a minor modification to secure it properly and prevent it from moving around.

If you’re comfortable with a little DIY adjustment, the alternative battery may work fine-assuming you verify the physical and connector compatibility. If you’re unsure about the available space for that extra thickness, you might consider reaching out to the AdventureBot’s documentation or double-checking the battery compartment dimensions before making any modifications.

For more tips on batteries and how to power your robot safely, you can check out our article on Battery and Power Supply.

Does your battery bay offer any extra clearance, or is it a snug fit for the recommended dimensions? Let me know if you need any further details or guidance!

Hi Nomad_6R,

In general, the JD servos (and the rest of your robot’s electronics) are designed to work with a 2S LiPo battery, so the voltage and capacity of a 7.4V 1300mAh battery remain within the specifications required.

Here are a few points to consider:

  • Voltage Compatibility:
    Both the original and alternative batteries are 2S (7.4V nominal), which is what the JD servos and the robot’s power system are designed for.

  • Capacity & Discharge Rating:
    The 1300mAh capacity is the same, ensuring similar runtime. The alternative battery has a 30C discharge rating instead of 25C. This means it can supply a higher peak current if needed. The higher C rating isn’t an issue for the servos themselves; it just means the battery can handle heavier loads without voltage sag. Your servos will draw what they need, and they won’t be "forced" to take higher current than designed.

  • Physical Considerations:
    The only other concern is the physical dimensions. The alternative battery is slightly thicker (14mm versus 10mm). While this won’t affect the electrical characteristics, make sure the battery compartment in your JD Humanoid or AdventureBot has enough clearance to safely accommodate the extra thickness without causing any mounting issues.

Overall, yes-the JD servos can handle the alternative battery from an electrical and performance perspective. Just double-check the battery housing or mounting bracket to be sure it fits properly.

If you need more information on battery power and safety, you can take a look at our Battery and Power Supply guide.

Does this answer your question, or is there anything else you’d like to dig into about your setup?
