Query regarding Battery Pack & Camera in SparkFun JetBot AI Kit v2.1 (Without Jetson Nano)

Hi,

I’m planning to buy SparkFun JetBot AI Kit v2.1 (Without Jetson Nano) https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15769

However, I’m confused about the Battery Pack. I mean charging that battery is as same as charging any other power banks? Do I have to remove anything before charging the battery pack?

One more thing is I want to use another camera (Intel RealSense D435i or T265) rather than the one which comes with the kit. So, is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

1.) Battery Packs - What do you mean ‘remove’? I would always suggest having the supply disconnected from the target devices before charging.

2.) Other cameras - You might be able to, but they may not work in compatibility with the NVIDIA software and OS. You would have to reach out to them for more specifics regarding other cameras.

Thanks Brandon for your reply.

  1. By ‘remove’, I meant do I have to disconnect all the other hardware e.g. Jetson Nano, motor drivers, etc from the power bank and then charge it, right?

  2. Got your point. Thanks
