Before you connect anything, check that the battery unit is switched off. The robot must stay powered off for the rest of the build, until Calibrate Actuators.

Take the Battery module and angle it as shown below to allow enough length for the battery power cable to reach the MCB power port.

Then, connect the battery power cable (red) to the MCB power port and slot the battery module inside part as shown. Connect it now: the torso covers close over this connector later in this step.
