Expected behaviour

On power-up, the TurtleBot4 is expected to boot successfully without errors, establish Wi-Fi connectivity automatically using the saved network configuration, and display a solid blue Create 3 ring as the normal operational status indicator.

Actual behaviour

While using the TurtleBot4 robot, the Create 3 ring repeatedly turns solid red, the LED screen battery percentage drops to zero, and SSH access to the robot becomes unavailable.

Error messages

Log collection is currently not possible because SSH access to the robot is unavailable.

To Reproduce

Power on the TurtleBot4 from dock or battery.
Wait for full boot and expected normal state (Create 3 ring should become solid blue).
Observe the Create 3 status ring and LED screen during startup.
Wait 1-3 minutes and check whether the ring changes to solid red.
Check LED battery percentage on the robot screen.
From laptop, try SSH to the robot using its known IP or hostname.
Repeat the same cycle after a reboot to confirm consistency.
