- The batteries must not be punctured or disassembled.
- The batteries should be disposed of pursuant to your local regulations regarding electrical and/or hazardous waste.


The integrated Ridgeback charger will fully charge the internal lead-acid battery in a few hours. The charger will time out after 12 hours, so be sure to power cycle (by unplugging and re-plugging) the charger on a daily basis. Allow the battery to warm up to at least 10°C before charging.

When the battery is running low on charge, the corner lights will start to flash yellow. This is your indication that the Ridgeback should be plugged in to charge soon.

Please contact Clearpath Robotics for additional information about Ridgeback's batteries or for information about
purchasing additional batteries.
