Re: How does your team charge & test batteries?
Japper,
I would recommend against the use of the device you list. It is intended for batteries with a much higher capacity/peak current. Continued use of this device is likely to shorten your battery life.
The use of the West Mountain Radio CBA III or the Battery Beak is a much better choice for FRC batteries. The CBA will allow you to test the battery the same way method as used by the manufacturer and the Battery Beak is a simple, pocket tool to give a good indication of battery health.
As pointed out above, a voltmeter tells you nothing other than a cell is shorted of the battery is open.
