Power supply

The BlueROV2 is powered by a four-cell (4S) 10000mAh 14.8V 10C lithium polymer battery. Drone operation time on one battery is about one hour. But the developers assure that in the near future the operating time of the underwater drone will be increased by installing more powerful batteries, or by introducing the power cable into the cable itself.
