Re: Tetrix Battery Holder vs. NiMH

Well, I only been in FTC for two years, and my team charges the two batteries we have at the higher rate and we never had any melting problems before, and the batteries have been used for two seasons. Maybe we're just lucky, but I'll start charging them at 0.9A because it's off-season for every team in CA and it helps preserves the battery's life.

However, a couple months ago the batteries' fuses blown, but we replaced the fuses and fixed our wiring and they still work.
