Thanks @kev.r
Offcourse @Matt did well explained .
Don’t you think @dexterindustries is responsible to explain on product min & max range expected.
But will try with the advice just concerned not to fry the board

The board is labeled (on the bottom, under the power jack) center-positive “9-12V DC”. That is the target voltage that you should supply. If using 8xAA fresh batteries, the voltage could be as high as about 13.5v, which is acceptable. The absolute maximum voltage should never exceed 14.5v.

Responsible? NO! They figured it all out what works so you don’t have to worry about knowing the limits. The bot is the best value, with incredible free support, and immense possibilities. No one trick pony that can be fully documented in a few pages. They put years of thought into every detail, and are quick to offer all the additional insight you need to be successful with the GoPiGo.
Enjoy your new bot. Ask questions. Think positive and together we all will grow smarter and wiser.

I appreciate and love the gopigo worth it as well good luck for future…
But not everyone is so technical to understand just clearing my doubts power supply is critical.
It would be nice to include the rechargeable battery pack together with base & starter kit,
its not easy if you missed when order separately as import duties etc.
grand!
Hi @chetuk,
I’m just going to quote Matt:
To add that all up, that’s almost exactly 2A on the 12v rail, and a lot of the numbers above are pretty much worst-case scenario.
So all you need to know is that your battery pack has to be able to provide 2A continuously at 9-12 volts. I think this is a pretty simplistic overview of the power requirements for the GoPiGo3.
Does this make it more clear to you?
Thank you!
