P133 External Laptop Battery —
www.atbatt.com/product/7901.asp
After much research, I decided on the use of an
external laptop battery. These seem to have the best
weight-to-capacity ratio. The battery shown in Figure 20
will provide 19V at almost 5 amps (around 133 Wh).
They are available from AtBatt.com and come with their
own charger and several tips to connect to various
devices. I will be going into more detail on this as the
series progresses.

What’s Next
In Part 2, we will start the base construction by building the wheel assemblies for both the six-wheeled and
three-wheeled robots. Well, that’s if for this month. Be sure
to check out the Kronos Robotics website periodically for
