Hi,
I think I have a short circuit somewhere on my robot which makes the battery overheat over a few minutes, and then eventually it shuts off.
Its the second time it happened. First time it happened, I could not find any faults, but one of the battery terminals became really hot. With the Voltmeter, it was indicating zero. After it cooled down, it was back up normal again.
I connected everything up, it ran for a while and then stopped and a battery terminal was really hot again.
I would appreciate a scientific explenation as to why this happens (possibly on a short circuit), for my own knowledge and where the likely fault may be.
Many thanks.
