Battery issue
I’m building an obstacle-avoidance robot with Arduino. I’m using 4 Li-ion 18650 cells (3.7 V, labeled 8800 mAh) connected in a battery holder. When I connect this pack to my L298N motor driver, the two DC motors don’t run (but the L298N power LED turns on).
Why might this be happening, and how can I fix it?

with your 14.8v battery back be sure to remove the "Regulator jumper" and provide 5v to the "Vss" pin
When you powered the motors from the 14.8V battery, did the two 12V motors overheat, lose torque, or fail? Any visible damage (smoke, burnt smell, brushes worn)?
Can you provide further details about the motors that you are using. Can you also share the code for looking further into this.
okay
This is the code :
Everything seems to be fine in the code after-all.
Just to make sure that there are no problems with the wires and other connections,
1. disconnect the motors from the motor driver
2. check the motors by connecting them directly to the battery.
also can you share a close-up image(top-view) of the connections in the motor driver
finally it works well 👌
