Despite the battery being lower down, the Kratos gets a ground clearance of 165mm. The battery has various sensors which analyze various parameters and usage. This data is sent to the cloud for research purposes and analytics. The battery gets an IP67 waterproof rating. The battery can be charged at home which will take around 4-5 hours.
