Known limits

What this record does not prove.

  • The host determines series versus parallel connection and therefore voltage/capacity presentation.
  • Operating-temperature range is not the same as charge-temperature range.
  • Military form-factor compatibility does not guarantee every robot host pinout or charger is compatible.
