Re: pic: Battery Test Results - Team 1519 in 2011

So, the moral of the story is that old batteries can be really dead - but a few could still be good? It also seems that there is a sharp difference between "good" and "bad" batteries, and it will be obvious after using it in a robot for just a minute. I'd be curious to know where the rest of the 2006 batteries fall in on the scale. Were they already deemed bad and discarded?
