battery charger
The current solution is to charge the batteries with an external battery charger. This solution has the following issues:
- the high charge currents cause voltage drop on the incoming leads
- there is no protection on the charge connector
- part of the charging current is lost to powering other modules (RPI takes 7W)
- the only way to power the rover is via batteries.
TODO
- find a ~20V power supply
- charger: BQ24630
- capable of isolating battery while charging
- protection: BQ7791514
- 0.28 Inch DC LED Digital Voltmeter 0-100V Voltage Meter Auto Car Mobile Power Voltage Tester Detector 12V Red Green Blue Yellow
- add something similar to the module directly
