Answers.Text: I found following meaning for blinking colors:
  Purple: network has been erased (or hub is waiting for new firmware)
  Orange: low battery
  So purple means your controller and battery box are no longer paired and this doesn't effect your issue. However if you still see orange color blinking there seems to be low batteries somewhere (either controller or battery box/hub). I would suggest taking out ALL batteries from both controller as well as battery box/hub and changing to fresh  batteries. Try not to mix and match different different brands.

Answers.Text: Your batteries should also be non rechargeable ones. Rechargeable ones might give a too low voltage even when fully charged (about 7.2 V instead of the expected 9V). If you are certain that the batteries are not the issue, you could contact lego support, they will issue you replacement parts...

Answers.Text: @MichaelVerschaeve does this come from experience? Because TLG is fine with rechargeable batteries and the following is included in instructions for 60198 under "Important information about batteries": "Rechargeable batteries must be recharged using the correct battery charger under the supervision of an adult. You cannot recharge batteries while they are still in the product, and you must never try to do so. Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries."

This hole was also pinned when using the lego battery that came with the educational versions of EV3. I do not know of such trick with boost.

What this means is that the end of charge indication may appear sooner for rechargeable cells, but the actual endurance in the product will be similar as long as the cell capacity in WATT HOURS is similar between the various types of cells being evaluated.

Comments.Text: I got same issue as above. Changed all 10 batts (Remote and hub) in to Energizer max - and still same thing. Blinks Green (1x) and Orange (2x). Blinking is only at Hub. Remote is ok. Measured batts (if the voltage is ok - measured 1,54 to 1,64 V at 1,5 measuring routine) - should be ok. Once it rides - it makes like 2-3 meters, than simply power-off (Without White blinking). Any suggestions?
