For the life of me, I can’t figure out why my Yarbo loses 50% of more charge overnight just sitting around. I had to unplug my dock to, ironically, charge up my lawn tractor battery the other night, and it went from 100 to 47% in 15 hours (3% per hour). If the ‘internals’ burn that much power, I …

Thanks for the explanation. I’m wondering why would it heat the cameras if there are no scheduled tasks planned in near future? Could that be done whenever Yarbo is being used? Heating the cameras could take what? 1 minute? 2 minutes? About battery - how that works when Yarbo is shut down? What a…

You should not turn the unit off and leave the battery in it in cold weather. It cannot and won’t heat the battery to maintain optimal temperature when shutdown. Like JNS mentioned, it actively heats the cameras at freezing temps to prevent snow and ice buildup. In very snowy environments, this can…

Then I have a question on how to properly store the Yarbo over the winter months? The idea was to put it in shed (not heated) and then according to the user manual go there and every 3 months or so plug in the charger to charge it. Would that be ok, or shall I take out the battery, put it under my…

Has it been cold in your area? Especially overnight? You do know that it uses a lithium battery that requires being heated in cold climates, right? Are you leaving the rover on the charging pad when not in use, like it is designed to be? If the rover is always on the charging pad and is losing c…

In your case I would purchase the Battery Power Cord and that way you could remove the battery and charge it while it’s under your bed. https://www.yarbo.com/products/battery-power-cord

You can store your Yarbo wherever you like during the fall and winter months. However, you should store the battery indoors in a controlled and conditioned environment that is not going to get near freezing or below.

Ok, then for me it’s battery in house, yarbo in shed and every 2-3 months an activity with taking the battery to yarbo and charging it. Spending 45 EUR for a simple cable is not worth it.

The charging cable should be included with the purchase of the core.

I totally agree. The cable should have been included in the box. There are too many use cases where that cable is either required, or really super useful.
