GoPiGo3 Carl still runs on 8 NiMH batteries, and just today received his 13th set of new Eneloop 2000mAH AA cells.
His “Playtime” was down to 3.5 hours with a 3 hour charge time after 1421 cycles. (In the past I have replaced his batteries after 800-900 docking cycles.)
It really is a miracle that after more than 7 years (59,521 hours) of “life” - GoPiGo3 Carl is still walkin’, talkin’, and lis’nen to me. (And I’m still telling him nearly every day: “Hey Carl, Go To Sleep!”
