ID: 186402

Description:

Steps:

1. A TIP, or simple, homemade solution to a problem that arises when we want to test charging a Roomba robot battery using an external charger or external power supply.
2. "There is no way to secure the battery terminals"

3. The dead battery does not have any protruding parts where you can attach something, for example, alligator clips.

4. Simple DIY solution...............
5. Use 2 or 4 neodymium magnets, depending on the size of those you have available.

6. With the Neodymium magnets attached to the two battery terminals, we can apply charging probes, in this case alligator clips, which will adhere easily. If they do not, it is because they lack ferrous material, so we must look for another model that will adhere.
