Re: Voltage drop normal?

You should be able to check your driverstation logs to see exactly how low your voltage was dipping under heavy load. Dropping to 9ish volts is fairly normal. if you're dropping to 7 volts then you have a problem. Said problem is likely to be a bad battery, poor connections between the battery and the PDB, or excessively long wires to the PDB.
