I tried to charge the batteries i left in the car last night. They wouldn't charge. Too cold. Hmmmm. Not just too cold for usbc. Too cold for direct terminals. Hmmm Hmm. I couldn't charge with my Anbee fast charger direct either. The battery voltage at the terminals of both was... 8.6v the charge levels of the batteries were 1 led and the other 2 leds. Hmmmm. Now that is my data with no interpretation. Except i said too cold. That was an assumption. But yes, 10 minutes in the warmth and they started charging. But what is important to me is that Rarely, does anyone, put something in the path of a critical circuit. I say that because i was aerospace, and i am compelled to warn the hell out ot the astronauts, but i won't take the decision out of their hands, or control. Cars, and outboard motors are the same way. They will overtemp and run without oil but they wont normally cut off the "pilot in control". The pilot makes the decision whether to save the engine, or get 20 to 50 more seconds of power before it locks up. So, i dont have the "smart battery" circuit diagram. But, I would not expect to find any component that could fail or degrade to reduce the full voltage and current the two cells contained within .. from the outputs. Which really means: Direct Connection. Why. These toys are not. These toys can do damage as small as they are. Damage to humans. And damage to a human must be performed (decided) by a human. Robotics law. God's zero commandment. Anyway, I did take a smart battery apart once... its still here somewhere, it sat in a ditch of 6 inch water for 6 days before i found it...and the anafi it was attached to. Lol. Hit a powerline and landed in a ditch only 2 feet wide. What are the odds? Well the ditch was bigger but the water was only 2 feet wide in it. And 6 inches deep. MY POINT. Which I almost forgot by now, IS. IF the battery "smarts" and circuitry can control the output... then it must be considered. I realize that the screen still reports good battery... but in the instance of the decision of anafi to autoland.... did it sample it? Is it a frozen value? I know nothing. I reported my data in the beginning. That is what I had to add. And of course. Robots may not defend themselves as humans are allowed to... they can run hide or just take it. They can identify targets and present them to a human. Even Dozens at a time. But someone has to be responsible and accountable for the kill authorization. Each one. When it comes to robots... we are GOD. Im not making a robot god. Lol
