Li-Ion Battery and External Switch

This guide is about inserting the 18650 Li-Ion Battery and External Switch on the MOTION:BIT.

18650 Li-Ion Battery

MOTION:BIT comes with an onboard 18650 Li-Ion Battery Holder, so you can use the rechargeable 18650 Li-Ion Battery to power up your MOTION:BIT project.

Note: The design of the 18650 Li-Ion Battery should have flat surfaces on both ends to fit into the battery holder on the MOTION:BIT.

External Switch

There is a pair of pin connectors for you to connect an external switch to your MOTION:BIT board on your robot enclosure.
