Re: Battery failures?

The mounting plate also contains battery identification information, as well as a QR code that links to the material information and proper disposal information for the battery.
I was going to use S.W.A.T. as an example, but Woolly beat me to it. I will say that their system is really nice; it's simple & sturdy. I will also say that when I inspected them at GKC I had to look twice at the battery; if you only glance at them it looks like they've drilled into the case.
