What Lithium Batteries to use for mBot?

#1

I’ve bought my own 3,7 V lithium battery as a secondary power source for my mBot, but its connector doesn’t seem to fit in the port. Could somebody tell me what type of connector should I use?

@CommandeR any insights?

I use a LiPo battery pack (see below) rather than the AA battery pack - the barrel plug power socket for the battery pack on mBot is DC 3.5mm * 1.1 and as far as I am aware there is no polarity requirement, so positive and negative plugs are both ok. The LiPo socket on mBot is a 2mm pitch JST-PH connector - you may find these pages from my book ‘mBot & Me vol. I’ of some use:

@JuraA5 Can you please specify the mBot model? I just want to make sure, so that I can help you.
