The 30078 Parallax Boe-Boost battery booster increases the battery capacity of the Boe-Bot from four AA cells to five AA cells.

 

This results in a 7.5V nominal output voltage for alkaline cells, making it possible to discharge them more fully before replacement. It also yields a 6V nominal output voltage from nickel-cadmium (NiCad) and nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries, permitting their use with the Boe-Bot, which was not readily feasible before now.

Features and Specifications:

• Adds one AA cell in series with the original four Boe-Bot batteries.
• Snaps into Boe-Bot battery holder, requiring no tools, assembly, or disassembly to install.
• Saves money on alkaline batteries by allowing them to discharge more fully before replacement.
• Permits the use of 1.2V rechargeable batteries.
