hi what is the voltage while you charge the spykee? Thanks!

@arnoldsu Just over 13 volts. There is another video showing the charging of the original batteries at the link in the description.

@field16 good to know that. it seems my board has some problem with charging.

12v! Sling a car battery on with a wifi dongle and use him for the weekly shop?

Just remember as soon as you take apart spykee you lose the warranty and you won't be able to send it back if it breaks

If your battery dies you can buy those nickel wotsit batteries online and in some electronics stores. They are the standard battery in most big rc cars and some rc hovercrafts

Theyre not that rare!

@meteofan1x2 My favorite useful thing is home or office surveillance. While I am away, I can operate the robot through the internet, drive around, confirm the cat is still alive, and make sure no one is in the house pilfering through our belongings. Unfortunately, the internet connection for this robot is not reliable so I do not recommend buying this model. But when it works, it gives peace of mind.

It also acts as a VOIP phone.

@vicmeuk I plan to make a replacement battery pack using some of those higher-capacity batteries you mentioned. The original batteries, even when new, didn't provide for enough play time. C batteries, like you used, are even better!

That was so cool, yup batteries can be a royal pain for sure, as you can recall i had to replace batteries in my Kenwood TH-28A, replaced with LMH Batteries, one shorted and had to be replaced again, now everything is AOK! Good video!!
