Re: FRC batteries wont charge

Also, avoid vibration when they are discharged. Try to keep the ones that are on the robot topped off as well as possible. This is due to the chemical reactions inside the battery, as Lead Sulfate forms a powdery residue on the surface of the lead plate which can be shaken off and eventually degrade the entire terminal. This is also how deep-discharged batteries fail.
