......@@ -66,9 +68,34 @@ The Ana and Helena robots have two separate batteries each:
Both batteries have two external connectors:
\begin{itemize}
\item Power: 2 way male connector from TE Connectivity (reference number 350777-1).
\item Monitoring: 4 way male connector from ?? (reference number ???) The pinout of this connector is shown in Table \ref{}. These signals are used to monitor the state of charge of the battery, as well as other parameters, from software.
\item Monitoring: Stereo 2.5 mm female audio jack from CUI (reference number SR-2501). The pinout of this connector is shown in Figure \ref{img_smbus_pinout}. These signals are used to monitor the state of charge of the battery, as well as other parameters, from software.

Each battery has a dedicated charger shown in Fig. \ref{img_payload_charger} and Fig. \ref{img_motor_charger}. The chargers are labeled \textit{PIONEER MOTOR} and \textit{PIONEER PAYLOAD} for the motor and payload batteries respectively.
