Getting Ready to Test and Compete

Before beginning any Lessons in this Unit, you will need to check that your Battery is charged.

Check Battery Levels

In this animation, first insert a battery into an IQ brain. Then press the checkmark to power on the IQ brain. The IQ brain shows a “low battery” warning message. Then hit the x button to dismiss the warning message.

Your Battery level can also be checked by using the indicator lights on the side of the Battery. In this animation, when you pressed the power button on the Battery pack, it shows only one green light on the indicator lights. 

Use the following list to understand how much percentage of the charge the Battery gets.

  • 1 light: 0-25% charge
  • 2 lights: 25-50% charge
  • 3 lights: 50-75% charge
  • 4 lights: 75-100% charge
