That's impressive. If we put in a battery that isn't at full charge at the beginning of the match, it dies during the endgame or slightly before. I don't know how long they last beyond a match length, because we've never tried it. We know it doesn't work for us.
We have a cycle of 6 batteries. After experiencing several inconsistancy issues with older batteries last year, we purchased 6 new ones for this season. Even then, we discovered at our second competition that one of the batteries was a dud and we could not last half a match before we saw some failure in robot performance.
