Re: Battery Charging station

We built a very simple board with dedicated spaces for the batteries and their accompanying charges and put a metal handle on it. I know we are on an extremely tight budget, so the cost was minimal. It was more just to keep things organized so we would be able to easily tell what was charged and what wasn't. It hold 5 batteries and charges, I believe. I will try to take a photo at our meeting this afternoon and post if for you here.

Here is our battery charging station. It was designed using Pro/Engineer software. It holds 8 batteries and 8 chargers. The bottom is for a power strip and hiding the wires. The two sides can be closed and locked up for transportation. They are on caster wheels.

Eight chargers is an overkill for competition but it is good to have that many chargers for practice sessions.

There is no need for that Don. Your cart is amazing. It definitely helped me out last year in Atlanta. We've been modeling one for our team off of yours, just with minor modifications. :P
