Robot Arm Batteries are dead. What's next?

Please read our Legal Disclaimer before executing any steps on this article. 

If your batteries are dead, and you lose power then you will also lose encoder position data.
In order to recover from this issue you will need to perform the following:

• Determine your robot arm model (see picture below) 

Once you have identified your robot arm model you can review the procedure to replace the batteries of your robot model:
