The AM Flat Pack Battery is designed to be easier to mount on a robot because of its low profile. It has 10 cells, an XT30 female connector, and a replaceable 20 A fuse. Pair it with the [NiMH/NiCad 12V FTC Battery Charger](https://andymark.com/products/nimh-nicad-12v-ftc-battery-charger) for charging.
