Battery runtime
- In French:
- Autonomie (batterie)
Definition
The length of time a robot operates on one battery charge before it has to be recharged. It depends on the energy stored, but also on use: moving, carrying a load or computing heavily drains the battery faster. A stated runtime only means something together with its measurement conditions, which manufacturers often choose to be undemanding. It should not be confused with decision-making autonomy.
