Soldering can also be a fun hobby to build circuit boards and other electronics. A soldering iron can be used to remove the leads, pull out the battery, and solder in a fresh new battery. The 3.7V 75 mAh battery used by Anki has + and – leads that are soldered into the main board to provide the cars with power. There are online tutorials for replacing the batteries. Vector, Cosmo and Overdrive bought now, may not work unless the batteries are replaced. The batteries may not hold a charge this long. Thus, cars bought in January 2021 could be almost 2 years old. Because Anki shut down in May 2019, the last production run would have been prior to this date. They are high powered, rechargeable batteries that should last several years when properly maintained. The batteries are “hard-wired” into the Overdrive cars and robots. The cars and robots use Lithium Polymer Batteries ( ). The company was unable to secure funds for their long-term goals. The toys were meant to be a development tool.
Anki ultimately failed, it seems, because the interest of the founders lay in developing advanced AI and robotics, not toys. This same year, Anki released the toy robot, “Cosmo.” Cosmo was a huge success.

2015 saw the release of the upgrade to Drive, the new and improved “Overdrive.” Overdrive was also a top seller. Drive became the #2 selling toy on Amazon in 2014. In the fall of 2013, they released their first product, a toy racing game called “Drive” that used a phone app to drive infrared sensing cars around a track imprinted on a mat. Their aim was to develop Robotics and AI Technology, such as robotic assistants and self-driving vehicles. Anki was founded in 2010 by a few Robotics Engineers who met at Carnegie Mellon. “Overdrive” is the name of a car racing game created in 2015 by the ex-company Anki.
